Oooty as a town is dirty and disappointing but the YWCA was a good place to stay. The rooms are clean and spacious. I loved the old fashioned feel and the ethical basis of the YWCA (the profits from the guesthouses go to support their projects for women & girls in India). The staff were very kind and welcoming.

Stayed in one of the the lower cottage. But the maintenance is not great. Flaky paint on the walls. Water flow from the geyser is very slow, open windows( that cant be reached as they are very high) in the toilets that make the room very cold at night. Telephone not working in the room, so had to walk over... More

If you're looking for mod-cons forget it. What you get is an unpretentious and comfortable place to stay, reminded me of an old school. Beds were comfortable and they have a nice dining room/ common area. Food was simple but nice. I would love to stay there again. More

Given the amount you pay, this is the best place to stay in Ooty if you are ok with not too much of service. I have been here 3 times and find it the best. Huge property with garden, small children's play ground large restaurant ( limited choice of food and of average standard). It is at the heart of... More

If damp, dirty and dingy is what you are after then this is the place for you. The staff, also cold and unhelpful are just a taster of what the rooms are like. The room was so cold and going into the itchy damp sheets did not improve the situation. The private bathroom (on the otherside of the corridor) was... More

The YWCA offers very basic accomodation and the lower cottage we stayed in was nice for two couples with a living room in which to play cards and watch the TV. However the cottage was very cold and the hot water did not always work. The staff are very friendly if somewhat ineffective (they often get orders wrong, take a... More

This place is a sprawling complex of many different types of rooms. There are regular rooms and bungalows and dorms for groups. We stayed in a bungalow looking across Ooty. This place is an old brewery and the room we had was sort of odd with the huge peaked ceilings but the price was cheap and the room was clean More

Having seen all the mixed reviews o trip advisor we we're a bit confused. If you have been traveling around India for awhile and spending below 700 gnith, then the will be fine. If you are used to fancier htels, this will be cold and the beds will be too hard. The location is about a 10-15 mn walk from... More
