I booked 2 adults and 1 child and paid full amount at the time of booking, then at the time of boarding they ask (bargaining) me for additional charges for the kid, it's look a like a road side or bus stand lodges behavior.

Ambience
Standard rooms are very cosy and a lot of vessels noise coming from the kitchen late night and early morning as well which disturbed our stay for 3 days..
Overall disappointed...
Note: Food is very expensive and morning breakfast is included in our package and all 3 days i had the same vegetable sambar for idli (Drumstick,aloo,onion and garlic).
@karthick manger , please inform the guest about the property rules and regulations at the time of check-in.. In my case no one as informed anything and one guy came and told me drinks are not allowed in the lobby.. DISGUSTING.....
How will I come to know that drinks are not allowed in the lobby ... Common sense right ..

The staff were courteous but the actual service was poor especially the timing of the breakfast
1) room was filthy and smelled. The rug was filthy and smelling. The room view was disgusting. I requested a room change and fortunately there was a better room available but my disappointment continued.
2) I could hear loud conversation till around 1am. Didn't get any sleep. This is unacceptable. The room has zero privacy as whatever is said or done in your room your neighbours will know.
3) the hotel is completely run down and is way overdue a refurbishment.

location and the ambience was excellent
Beds are too small - so they need to work on having bigger beds because family with small kids is way too difficult to stay. Staff need to welcome and probably need some training in that regard as I had to literally go and talk about my booking and stuff. I guess that is one thing that they can do better.

the service from Shekar was exceptional. I was unwell & he helped with jeera water that helped settle my stomach
Breakfast spread could’ve been better.

Quaint and cosy with a good view of the hills as it is located at a height. everything is very neat and clean with beautiful English styled rooms.
i think the price is too high for the rooms; it should be in the range of 5-6k a night maximum because this is not even a resort, no swimming pool or big grounds to roam in.

The old world charm. Reminded me of our house in Shimla, where I spent 7 years of my youth.
The staff at the breakfast left much to be desired.

Breakfast was good extending the time little bit could be flexible and view is the best in ooty.
Inside dining rooms, keeping the detail to high-level from the experience understand must pest control is required on regular basis due to the history of the property having facilities such as chimney etc.,

Location was good.
Value for money was very poor, at rs.13000 a night the breakfast was very basic with a terrible bakery section.The room(called tempest) that was provided to us had a view into a badly maintained corridor, no heater is provided as standard, we needed to request for hot water and wait most of the time.
The ventilators in the room didn't have curtains so it would get bright really early.
