We stayed in this hotel on 14th and 15th May 2012. Water in the bathroom was not clean. One more thing which we did not like was - room service is only for beverages. For breakfast/lunch/dinner you are forced to go to the restaurant. There is no TV in the cottages... Hence this hotel is just to spend nights after... More

After reading many of the disappointing reviews, I have a relatively positive one to add! We trusted our local friend who was exploring Kerala with us on his hotel choice in Thekkady.. I believe the owners knew him, so as a result we had actually a pretty decent stay at the hotel, particularly for the cost (1500 rupees a night... More

This hotel has nothing that I can speak about other than the location. It is located quite close to the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. So, in case you have an intention of spending your entire day in undertaking activities of the Forest Department and want to take a hotel to just spend the night..this is the place. Expect no more than... More

I will start with the issues I faced. At morning time the hot water wasn't available. They didn't answer the phone. Though we booked the room properly before hand, they still offered us a room that was too much secluded and dark. The look is too much traditional and low lit with lots of wooden furniture all around. at breakfast... More

We stayed 2 nights (2 couples) at Hotel . Our upstairs rooms were very spacious, clean, with lots of wood panelling and balconies. The hotel is located at the end of the road so was quiet, but handy for eating and shopping. Staff were friendly and helpful and the restauarant was of an acceptable standard. Watch out for the monkeys!!... More

Our room was big as was bathroom, but this was very dirty, the bath had dead insects in it and to top it all the wash basin came off the wall and literally exploded badly cutting my husbands arm resulting in a trip to the local hospital...

Room was big enough, but shabby, and the water situation not great. Restaurant acceptable. It looks like it could be ok, it it was spruced up and the staff a little more helpful ( although they were ok!). I just got the feeling they were cutting costs to get the most out of you.

We stayed here for 2 nights. Thekkady is an amazing place but this hotel is a black spot. Service does not exist here. Staff at restaurant are just ignorant and does not want to help at all. You have to find a staff to place your order and again to follow up on your order. They will bring water bottle... More

We went there on the recommendation from local guide but this is the place where one would surprise by lack of manner and courtesy .restaurant is the worst part of property in terms of services and food. Horrible place still found many westerners around.
