Enjoyed our stay very much. The staff members were courteous and helpful. Food was very good. We were visiting after 43 years. The hotel staff made our stay memorable.

This property is not worthy of a 5-star designation. The rooms are small, and sparsely furnished.

Prime location, pretty views, and good food
The hotel is located at the heart of the settlement, with most rooms facing the Kodai lake. The close proximity to the lake and the surrounding market makes this a prime tourist spot. The rooms are standard-grade 5-star offerings. The cottages are the highlight. Although just marginally expensive than the premium rooms, they come with three rooms, plus a bathroom, and a garden. The bathrooms have a bathtub which is the cherry on the top, and quite rare in the region. The food offers plenty of variety, with the buffet consisting of over a dozen options. In terms of added facilities, have indoor games like air hockey, TT, tennis, as well as spa services. The lush green gardens are a highlight, with swings, see-saws, and other contraptions for both children and adults.

立地と快適さはなかなか
部屋は快適。湖が見える部屋で景色もよい。バスタブもついているので、リラックスすることができた。インド特有なのか何かお願いすると持ってきてくれるまで30分くらいかかったり、再度電話することが何度かあった。栓抜き自体を貸してほしいのだが、だめだそうで、ビールを飲むときに都度電話しなければならないのが難点だった。スパは最悪、サービスも悪いし、下手だし、おすすめしない。

Tell the Truth
Checking in a little rough! They wanted to take our picture! We asked why! They said marketing! We said no! Then they changed their story to taking a picture was a government regulation! No other 4-5 Star Hotel dit this?

The hotel receptionist not attend phone calls & when check out take a longer time ( more than 25 min) waiting. This hotel put clothing sales for three weeks from 02/02/2018 onward. So the clothing sales persons very crowded every were the hotel common areas from 01/02/2018.

Great place for a family vacation
Great location, ambience, food and facilities. Service especially in restaurant and room service can be improved. Need to improve accessibility of lower floors. As a family with small kid and stroller it was hard to move up/down the hotel.

Nice hotel with good lake view
We went to Kodi just to relax. No plans to see places as most of the time famous places are either overcrowded and/or not properly managed. Most of the time we were at the hotel relaxing or enjoying hotel facilities. We enjoyed our time. 3rd day we went to see nearby falls but there was no rain so no water. Nobody bothered to tell this to us. So half way we cancelled our sightseeing and went back to hotel.

Please improve services according to its level.
Hotel was neat and peaceful. I really liked it except the manner and attitude of people who are working there. Reception → Please inform us, if check in process takes more time. how long it will take and why. then we do not waste our time much. And when we check out, please communicate with us other than the payment. [For eg: Feedback of hotel etc..]provide basic manner at least, please. Restaurant manager and workers → Please reset the people who are serving there. work division is not proper. makes more noise than the visitors. [make vessel sound, roaming] Even music selection was fast. I have doubt about there as market. Please improve services according to hotel's level.

Comfortable, unique
Nice hotel build in stone and wood, it is romantic and special. It is probably the best hotel in Kodaikanal. You feel back in old times. The service is very attentionate. Good restaurant.
