The Carlton Kodaikanal

The hospitality was very good, and both the buffet dinner and breakfast were excellent. All of the staff members were really helpful and attentive throughout our stay.

This hotel occupies a commanding position, affording sweeping vistas of Kodai Lake, the enveloping mountain ranges, and the verdant valley below. Its amenities, while competent rather than exceptional, include the thoughtful provision of complimentary cycling circuits around the lake—an appealing inducement for guests seeking active immersion in the landscape. The staff distinguish themselves through unfailing attentiveness and polished courtesy.

The accommodations themselves are generously proportioned, yet they would benefit from judicious modernization; various surfaces and fittings now betray the gentle patina of age.

Excellent location and facility

Nothing in particular though food could improve

The staff were friendly.

we were staying at the first floor which was next to a reception hall. On our second night there was a party on till around midnight with blasting music, which made it difficult for us to sleep. The hotel might want to consider either not having rooms next to a party hall or might want to allot these rooms to the members of the party group so as not to cause disturbance to other guests.
