If you go to any wedding hall 48 hours before the big party, you feel like it is going to be great but if you look around, things are not in place yet. This is how we felt at Sinclairs. Courteous although very inequal service. Kitchen closed except for a few snacks. No heat and no hot water when we... More

We went to ooty for 4days with family for vacation and stayed at the Sinclairs Retreat. Though we paid an exorbitant price of over 20K rupees, we actually felt cheated once we landed at the hotel. The rooms were small and conjusted, the service was highly average and because we went in season, the hotel felt like standing in a... More

We arrived at Sinclairs having booked to stay at one of their 2 "villas". After having been shown this place which is actually off their property we decided that it was not suitable because it was freezing cold and all the hotel staff could provide us with were 2 very inadequate fan heaters. We then decided to move to the... More

We had 3 rooms for 6 adults and 4 kids. The restaurant is expensive and food is of average quality. Service is very slow. Rooms are old and fittings are aging. The location is good and away from noise of the town. You can oversee the mountians. Parking facility is adequate. 2 KM of road from highway is in very... More

The view from the hotel is stunning and the food excellent even though based on the number of guests the choice is reduced. But there ends the best part As the hotel is under renovation a lot of facilities are not available, the rooms do not have fans nor do they have room heaters. The common excuse is the "hotel... More

Had a good vacation except for the Hotel Sinclairs. Very Poor House Keeping, Even after complaining to GM no action taken and very pathetic a hotel of 18 years giving such lousy service. Food was good. Hope Cleartrip will take up this with the hotel. More

Sinclairs is an excellent Hotel at Ooty with all facilities one may want in a hotel. Situated up the hill the view is brilliant and service and facilties among the best . Possibly an underrated facility at Ooty but would rank among the top 3 in my view. More

Ooty is a popular hill-resort located in the Nilgiri Hills. Hotel Sinclairs is charming, with well-appointed rooms and modern facilities. Heaters Add to the coziness. The rooms come with Tv and coffee maker. However the laundry service leaves room for improvement. Food was good and the service was up to the mark. Will surely recommend this hotel to my friends...
