Quaint and spacious, staff were very hospitable. I wish the cafe had a few more local delicacies on the menu. We had breakfast and lunch from the cafe, and went to a restaurant nearby to experience local cuisine.

Very good

We loved the layout of this hotel with its charming garden courtyard. The plum cake and tea was very welcome. There was a great roof top terrace to our room but this was only furnished by a concrete bench - a little more outdoor furniture would have made this a fantastic space to enjoy.

Staff were very lovely and very helpful, always seemed to be smiling, Thankyou for a lovely stay. Breakfast was good, cold coffees delicious Very close to one entrance to the National Park and the bus park for boating and Nature walk, and close to resaturants

The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, even at busy breakfast times. The breakfasts were really delicious consisting of freshly made pancakes, toast, banana and a choice of eggs with tea or coffee and juice. The rooms are very generous and spotlessly clean. Perfect proximity to the tiger reserve. It advertised having a bath (one of the reasons we booked) but there are no baths in the resort so that was really disappointing, and they must remove bath from their description. This is the only reason it isn't 10/10 across the board.

Cleanliness is top notch . Very helpful staff It’s a boutique property and the size of the property is very small so there ain’t much you can do at the property. There’s a cafe but you should be considering other hotels for your lunch and dinner .

Exceptional

This place is just paradise.

* A hotel built from natural stone in the middle of a green oasis * very friendly staff, helpful * No airconditioner in the room. * frequent power outages (3 to 4 times in the night) We (a couple) wanted to sit at a table for four pax for breakfast, but were asked to sit at a small table for two. 10 minutes later, 2 Indians came and were seated at the table for 4. ? * Poor breakfast, less choise, a terrible coffee taste (like colored water) The order, how the breakfast was served is very strange; They started 1. with the dessert (fruit and sweet pancakes (muffins with honey) 2. A glass of juice 3. omelet (that's how they called it even it didn't looked like) 4. NOW (after sitting there for 20 minutes, they asked us if we prefer coffee or tea. 5. After 10 more minutes they served 1 coffee but forget to serve my wifes coffee. We had to wait another 10 more minutes to get her black coffee. 6. Table water was only served on request. In conclusion: * This is a tea-drinking country. They have really NO IDEA what coffee should taste like. * They should be more attentive and learn to serve the food in the right order. Start with the beverages and put the sweet stuff and fruit at the END of the meal. * Good employee training would be appropriate. But if ALL OF THIS this is INDIAN style then I'm wrong.

Good

No activities

Loved the shape of the spacious rooms, loved the staircase to the balcony, loved that we could sit and watch monkeys in the trees by the balcony and watch them jump onto the roof of our room. And it was peaceful.

Overall a great place to stay, this is our third stay and would love to come back.

We loved this place. A great feel to the place, with 10 rooms around a courtyard, very friendly helpful staff and a lovely cafe. Excellent location for Periyar Tiger Reserve. Would definitely recommend

Highly recommend this small hotel. Lovely spacious rooms in a great location on edge of town, close to wildlife park and variety of restaurants. Staff were super helpful- had booked us various safari activities within half an hour of arriving - friendly and efficient. Would stay again. No curtains on some high up windows in the room means hard not to wake early.

Great location, very large clean rooms in green garden setting. National Park across the road. Staff were lovely and helpful. Great value.

Very friendly, attentive and helpful staff - assisted with all the questions we had. Great location - close to shops and departure point for the Periyar Tiger Reserve buses. Coffee house on site served good food for breakfast (included in what we booked) and dinner (paid separately). The floor in our room stained our socks/shoes. Would be easier for international guests to use dispensing soap/shampoo instead of blocks. Luggage storage wasn't secure - stored next to reception desk in the open.

Food was excellent. Staff were exceptionally helpful. Location great

Very helpful, thankful and friendly staff, clean and big rooms and good food in the hotel. Location between the entry of the national park and the places to get tickes quite good. If you want to eat at the hotel it is really worth it but you have to bring a bit time :)

Superb
