Amazing place. Fantastic huge rooms. Lovely furniture. Extremely quiet. Obliging staff. A little tired with maintenance but well worth the money. Can't say much more. It was a great stay - one of the best hotels I've been to.

Decor lovely and nostalgic of the cantonment era which is part of the Nilgiris charm. You can imagine what this looked like a hundred years ago because not much looks like it changed. The furniture all looks antique and the walls have a vintage feel. The staff were very polite and helpful. They were even persuaded to take us for... More

We just came here for our anniversary dinner. As u approach the hotel through the pine trees lined road, it is truly a sight to behold. The hotel is truly a small palace of sorts. Classic, English architecture with dollops of heritage history in and around the hotel. Though i feel it is a bit understaffed, they did richly pamper... More

Golf carts to take you around the property..at each turn on the road inside the property you are left thinking how royal it would be when the palace must be hosting its King long back. The rooms are good, Jacuzzis... More

Awesome experience but comes with its own set of challenges. The hotel can call off lunch buffets if occupancy drops. Service can sometimes be slow because of thin staff. Despite these, a must-do on your next trip to Ooty. Much better than the usual square shaped pigeon holes that take four. Since it is on a height compared with the... More
