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

YWCA is in a perfect location, just down the road from the bus stop. It has huge grounds so is quite tranquil for India. We took a private double room for R768 (inc taxes). It was huge with ensuite shower room and TV. However, the room was old with the classic signs of Indian inattention. The bathrooms have windows that... More

Good Place at a affordable cost and a very nice location. But they need to keep up with the maintainace and upkeep of the hotel. No Fire Place could be a tricky, if the night gets too cold. We have stayed in the Gate House Cottage, very nice and spacious place. The food is not all that great though. More

My wife and I had planned a Ooty trip in October '09. And made the bookings at YWCA Anandagiri Ooty based on my friends' recommendation. Unfortunately we had to postpone it. Since we paid the advance to YWCVA, we requested them to postpone the booking. And they agreed! The first interaction with them was pleasant and amicable. We replanned and... More

I stayed there with my extended family. We booked a bungalow suite and a standard room. They were not at all clean, they were smelly and stinking. The lights in the hall and toilet were not functioning despite many requests made to rectify. When we ordered for Tea the room service guy who came was drunk. The reception staff were... More

I had gone to YWCA with lot of hopes. It sounded like a quaint little place which will be charming. While it still has the potential to be a well maintained charming place, It needs lot of effort to maintain it. One of the window glass panes were broken and staff knowlingly hid this fact from us and made us... More
