First a disclaimer to start with: We stayed at this hotel as a part of our holiday package from goibibo.com, so I can not be sure about the value for money. But the hotel is no more than a 1 star hotel in Delhi/Mumbai. Location- The hotel is very conveniently located if you are visiting the Periyar Tiger sanctuary (walking... More

I stayed with my family here for 2 nights before proceeding to Munnar. The location is very good and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are fairly neat and was getting hot water round the clock in the taps without much hassle. The attached restaurant offers decent food and the prices are also fairly affordable. Overall a...

Hotel Ambadi was our favorite lunch stop (for its good thali meals) en route to Chennai from Kottayam. So this time we used the opportunity to make it our night halt before hitting NH 45. A 27 yr old property, it does look run down in parts. But the ambience and the wooden architecture is good. Rooms are okay, though... More

The hotel is close to periyar tiger reserve with easy accessibility to all activities. A good stay and a perfect getaway on a weekend, Meal options are plenty once you step out of the resort. Elephant Camp is a must visit where you may ride and bath the elephant, Overall a woinderful stay.

Based on my friend's recommendation i choose this hotel and we stayed on our honeymoon trip to thekady in July 2012. The location of the hotel is very close near town.

We stayed here for a few nights to allow us to visit Periyar Tiger Reserve and we weren't disappointed. Although more on the expensive side in comparison to other places it was nice to get a bit of luxary! highly recommended. Central location to allow exploring too!

The hotel looks great from the outside but the rooms have a damp smell and is very dark. Hot water is limited and we had to request them to switch on the main geyser or bring buckets of hot water to the room. Also many times the hot water was over in the middle of the shower. The location is... More

We only stayed one night in this hotel which we had chosen because I had a few meals there last year which were really good and because we knew that the English architect who had built it, took the local circumstances into consideration. We did not need AC as the rooms were really high, the brick walls kept out the... More
