property not at the same level as other taj properties it has seen better times and can be very well restored if taj wants to do that. the dining hall needs some serious updating. i don't get the point of eating in such a dark place. there is no natural light at all inside the dining room. food is quite...

This charming property could do with an urgent makeover. Have great memories around it. While it's nice to retain the old look and so on, it's not acceptable to have broken furniture, torn carpets, and room service that takes ages. Please do something Taj!

I stayed here in March 2012 and was REALLY surprised at the level of quality given the Taj branding and the price. Our first room was a standard room that was basically next to the kitchen dumpster and had literally no windows save the one on the door. We were "upgraded" to a room that was slighly better located but... More

Lots of history and character at this hotel opened in 1841 but it requires serious re-decoration and upgrading of rooms.

Ooty was on our list of places to visit as we were staying in southern India. So one fine morning we boarded a flight to the Coimbatore International Airport. The bookings were done for Ooty... More

Went to Taj Savoy in Jan 2012, it is a Taj property but a 4 star, price starting from around 4k including breakfast. This was our first visit to Ooty, went by self drive from Bangalore. Reached the hotel, it was beautiful. Its an old building, more than 150yr with a lot of character. The main reception area was beautiful... More

This is just a great hotel in a great place. Really nice rooms, we stayed in a mid sized room and it was massive - well appointed, with wooden floors and a lovely open fire. A 'man' comes and lights the fire on an evening to take the chill off. The bar is only ok, but the lawn is nice... More
