Reviews and Ratings
My stay was excellent and comfortable, with a view over the pool. The weather was a bit cloudy during our stay, but the pool was inviting. The room was a bit dark and small, unfortunately near a heavy tension transformer.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were very comfortable and clean, although a bit more lighting would have been nice. The staff was extremely friendly, especially Mr Ramachandran, and they even accommodated my son's food allergies with separate meals. The location was superb, only a few hundred meters from the market and the Periyar Forest Reserve. The dining experience was super with a wide choice of delicious Indian and Western options. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay very convenient.
The hotel is nestled into the hill with steps leading to the rooms, offering excellent accommodation with spacious updated bathrooms. While it lacks entertainment for small children, the location is convenient for visiting tourist attractions. The dining experience is satisfying with a variety of food options, and the facilities are well-equipped for relaxation and enjoyment.
The hotel offers a great location surrounded by nature and is within walking distance of shops and amenities. The rooms are spread over a hill and though pricey for 4 persons, they are not as impressive as expected. The service staff is extremely helpful and polite, but the clarity on spa costs could be improved. The dining experience provides a varied menu with delicious Indian and western options. The facilities are good, and the overall value for money is decent.
The hotel offers a lovely room with a basket of fresh fruit and local snacks, set around beautiful gardens with an excellent restaurant at the center. However, some areas are under maintenance.
