Serenity inn - Rose Garden

Wonderful stay close to the town very calm place room are well maintained helpful staff

Nothing

The room was big. It had a south facing balcony with sun all day long. The hot water was good, and it had a good bathroom. I had to upgrade to a deluxe room, which was only about 500 rupees a night extra. It is a 3 minute walk to the Sullivan Court Hotel, and I could take my meals there if I wanted. Hakim was very helpful and responded quickly to my messages. He even took on his motorcycle to change money at an excellent exchange rate.

It is an open floor plan, so sound carries. They leave the windows open at night, so it can get a bit cold. There is no heating, so I used an extra blanket. I was warm and comfortable, but this may not be to some people's liking. Also, there are a lot of dogs in the area who bark at night, so I would recommend ear plugs for a sound sleep, but that is the case with many places in India and Nepal.

The place is well maintained. The staff were so helpful. It's in the heart of the town so every major spot is easily accessible. The room is very spacious and clean. It even had a balcony which I think is not available in most properties in Ooty. The room had an individual water heater and a smart TV and the washroom was very spacious and clean. Though it's in the heart of the town , the environment is very calm and relaxing. Restaurants were just at walkable distance which I felt was very convenient. I think I found a perfect spot in Ooty for a real getaway vacation. I will surely come back.

Overpriced for what it offers. Need to climb up and down a slope which aged people cannot do. Nothing exceptional to write about.
