We noted that some other reviewers claimed this hotel was expensive, but that was not our experience as our room cost us around $105AUD per night which is a fraction of the cost of the hotels in the cities and excellent value. Locals called this a 5 star hotel and it is definitely the best in the area with great... More

Manipal is a university town,and Valley View doubles up as a training location for students of hotel management at the Welcomgroup institute. The rooms may not have the spit and polish of the Park chain,for example nor,fortunately,all those glass walls!). However,the staff are more "university" than "corporate". They are friendly in a genuine and not artificial way,perhaps because many of... More

The rooms were large and spacious, with clean bathrooms. ideally located with spectacular view of Valley. The staff was courteous. took pains to find and retreive an article which we had forgotten in the room and a friend collected it later, the decor and breakfast was average.

I like the food and scenery the most. Two times I have been to the hotel for vacation, which remain memorable experiences. The city of Manipal adds to the... More

The staff was friendly, they allowed me to smoke outside the coffee shop. basic food but tasty.... More

The staff in general went out of their way to help me, but there were a few slip ups. For example, room service were happy make me an omelet outside the room service hours (masala omelet, nice!),...

Overall satisfied with the hotel // Check in procedure was smooth. Good buffet breakfast // easily available transportation facility... Good variety of buffet dinner. Best is the staff attitude towards the client.

True to its name my room had the view of the valley. But with the overcast sky I couldn't enjoy much of the view. The staff were very courteous and helpful. Though I speak Hindi, the room house keeping attendant's language sounded arrogant ( may not be deliberate and can't expect more or blame.) The room was small with very... More
