We stayed here for a few nights to allow us to visit Periyar Tiger Reserve and we weren't disappointed. Although more on the expensive side in comparison to other places it was nice to get a bit of luxary! highly recommended. Central location to allow exploring too!

The hotel looks great from the outside but the rooms have a damp smell and is very dark. Hot water is limited and we had to request them to switch on the main geyser or bring buckets of hot water to the room. Also many times the hot water was over in the middle of the shower. The location is... More

We only stayed one night in this hotel which we had chosen because I had a few meals there last year which were really good and because we knew that the English architect who had built it, took the local circumstances into consideration. We did not need AC as the rooms were really high, the brick walls kept out the... More
