From the Hectic schedule, I had planned to take a quick break to the nearest hill station at Matheran and it was my second visit after 20 years.. I had no clue which place to stay and thanks to the Trip Advisor, I could make the right choice.. Lords central is not only like being in the lap of mother... More

My partner and I stayed at Lords Central, Matheran for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. Warm and kind hospitality from the minute we arrived, slightly late for lunch as the 1000 toy train from Neral was delayed but we were given time to freshen up then head for lunch where we were greeted by Tukaram who looked after...

As in the reviews immediately below the hotel is slightly worn; with mismatched furniture from various periods in the life of the hotel. The towels are not fluffy and hot water is only available for 3 hours in the morning. The rooms are spotless; which quite frankly given the red dust in Matheran, is a feat of genius. However, there... More

We stayed here in March 2011. The ride up the hill in the 'toy train' is fun. On arrival you have to the hotel as there is no transport allowed. Porters are available if you want. The hotel has been there for 3-4 generations and still run by the same family, Mr. Lord will tell you the historywhile you fill... More

We stayed at the Lords Central for one night, after reading reviews in Lonely Planet, during a recent trip to India. When we arrived, by hand cart-great fun- we were welcomed and shown to our valley view room which had views to die for! You feel you have stepped back in time when you first enter your accommodation but everything... More

My parents and I are regular Matheran visitors but stayed for the first time in Lords Central Hotel. Since we reached there on an off season friday morning, we were very generously offered,without asking for the same, two rooms for the price of one. This helped form a very favourable first impression. The hotel itself is charming with an old... More

I chose Lords after reading reviews on various websites. We had too short a time with us and hence after finding out from their Mumbai office on availability of rooms - we decided to barge in directly without booking (Won't personally recommend travel without booking). The owners were kind enough and though we had reached late accommodated us and our... More

We were in Matheran to celebrate our 5th Marriage Anniversary. We decided to book Lords Central based on the reviews on tripadvisor. The booking experience was good. Called up the Mumbai office, initially planned for a single night, but were told that minimum is 2 nights which was okay. We booked the valley side view as that was in our... More

We stayed at the Lords Central Matheran from the 25th of January till the 27th this year. During our last visit to Matheran we’d spotted this place and had sworn to ourselves to book our stay at the Lords in our next visit and treat ourselves some peaceful silent moments. Its colonial charm, the proximity to the market, the valley... More

This is the best hotel in Matheran. And only hotel which offers breathtaking Vally view. Hotel is around 15 minutes walk from Railway station and not far away. Hotel is surrounded by lot os green trees. And it is slightly difficult to locate the hotel from the road. Staff is friendly. And food is excellent. They have special parsi food... More
