What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Veg Cuisine

During my stay, I particularly enjoyed the buffet breakfast, which included tasty items like Idli, Vada, and live Dosa. The quality of the food was great, and despite being a pure veg restaurant, I was impressed by the decent options available. The dining experience was generally pleasant.

Spacious and Comfortable

I stayed in the Elite Room with a lovely view of the lake. The room was spacious with a nice layout including a mini hall area. The amenities provided, like a hot water kettle and a 32" LED TV, made my stay very comfortable and enjoyable.

Fun Facilities for Leisure

The hotel had great leisure facilities. I particularly enjoyed the movie screenings in the mini-theater and playing a few games in the gaming area. This added a fun element to our stay and kept us entertained during our downtime.

Well-Equipped Bathroom

The bathroom in my Elite Room was quite clean and well-equipped for daily needs. Despite it being average compared to the room, it was satisfactory enough for my requirements during my stay.

My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable, especially given its fantastic view of the lake. The rooms are spacious and well-maintained but could benefit from more dining options for breakfast.

The hotel has a lovely location right in front of Ooty Lake, making it convenient for leisurely strolls and boat rides. The views from the rooms, especially on the upper floors, are fantastic. While the staff in the restaurant were quite helpful, there were significant issues with room cleanliness and maintenance that overshadowed the positives. The dining experience was limited, and room service left much to be desired. Overall, the hotel offers potential but needs considerable improvements.

My stay was a mixed bag at this hotel. On one hand, the view of the lake was absolutely stunning and the vegetarian dining experience was quite good, especially with the Jain food options. However, the rooms were a bit noisy due to late-night disturbances, and the bathroom could have been cleaner. The restaurant layout was also less than ideal, which meant I often opted for room service instead.
