Sterling Kodai Lake

8/10 Good

"NICE AND CLEAN PLACE TO STAY"

Jayaraj Residency

8/10 Good

"Affordable."

Le Poshe

8/10 Good

"Stay was good because of the view of the valley! The room heater was bit noisy! I didn’t find any thermostat for air conditioner either so I am wondering if they have any. Staff were attentive and polite. Food was okay! Not bad! "

Villa Retreat - Boutique Hotel and Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, helpful staff, good omelete breakfasts. Channel selection on cable was bad. I couldn't find a cricket channel. As a matter of fact, most channels don't get any signal. Gret valley view in the morning. Close to Coakers walk and the Lake."

Yagappa Heritage Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed in a comfortable and spacious Deluxe Room, with a peaceful and pleasant ambience that was perfect for relaxing both mind and body. The staff at the front desk and in the restaurant were exceptionally friendly, courteous, and attentive, making the experience even more pleasant. I had opted for the AP plan (All meals included – Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner) and the food was absolutely outstanding. Every meal was rich in flavour, generously portioned, beautifully prepared, and thoughtfully served, making dining a real highlight of the stay. The lavatory was relatively very small, and room cleanliness has to be improved. Other than this, the overall stay was truly excellent. "

8/10 Good

"Yes.. The service is good"

The Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms and toilets | Good ambience around the resort | Professional spa but starting late to their own convenience | Good service provided by staff"
