every thing was perfect food service and its quite distance from the market best time to visit in summer season hotel ambience was good and rustic environment. Peaceful place to enjoy your vacation.Food is excellent (Non-vegetarians, please excuse) and served hot (no buffet) in your plate. Room service is available by ringing hand-bell as opposed to telephone (unique feature). Garden... More

The approach – Just like any other hotel in Matheran, the approach is through the muddy roads of Matheran. You WILL HAVE TO wash your shoes immediately when you go back. First look – It seemed like a below average hotel in the middle of a jungle which looked more like the army barracks from the British era. The Rooms... More

We stayed there for three nights in May 2012. About 500 metres away from Bazar Peth truly gives a feeling that you are sitting in the lap of the nature. Cecil Matheran has 25 heritage type spacious rooms spread across sprawling 5.5 acres. Cecil is a laid-back hotel, where you can converse with nature and have loads of peace and... More

We stayed at this place in April 2012 for 4 days. Natural and rustic environment. Service and atmosphere is very good. Food is damn good. Rates are also quite reasonable. Manager Mr. Eknath and Owner Mr. Rusi both are very helpful. Market place is at 10-15 mins walking distance. Peaceful place to enjoy your vacation.

To make this easy I am going to break down this review - Location - Cecil is about a 10 minute walk from the main Market area which means there are no shops or restaurants nearby. This is a huge positive for someone who is looking for solitude, silence or perhaps a place away from the Hustle and Bustle of... More

I visit this hotel in Nov-11. The experience is not good. Only choose this hotel if you get it at Rs. 1800 per day including Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. This is a very old kind of hotel. Even not having the Ring bell or phone to call any room service. It doesnt look the way it is on Net. The... More

Cecil is a lovely property nestled away from the buzz in a secluded wooded part of Matheran yet not far from Bazar Peth, the main promenade of Matheran. It is an old property with spacious grounds and very friendly staff and personalized service. The thing I like most about Cecil is the personal touch of the owner who stays on... More

It is a very old hotel nestled in the lush green woods of Matheran. The hotel structure is pretty old, but still decently maintained. The large open areas offer big playing areas for your children. The food is decent though lacks variety, and simple food - home style. This hotel is close to the market area and the railway station.... More
