Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, though they could use some updating to brighten up the atmosphere. The service was satisfactory overall, with helpful staff assisting in various needs. The location is very convenient for exploring Thekkady, but more activities for kids would be a nice addition. The dining experience was excellent, especially with the variety of traditional Kerala cuisine available. However, the lack of in-room refreshments despite having a mini fridge was a downside to consider.
The hotel offers excellent rooms with balconies and open spaces, located conveniently near the swimming pool. The service provided by the staff, especially Sumona at the front desk, was top-notch. The location is fantastic, close to Periyar National Park, with friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience was delicious, particularly enjoying the buffet dinner and breakfast. Overall, a great value for money stay with wonderful hospitality.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with large bathrooms, king size beds, and generous balconies overlooking the tropical gardens. The rooms feature new furniture and entirely new bathroom suites.
