Worth staying in this hotel which is opposite to lake.. rooms were clean and staff were also good jus they need more training... Breakfast was amazing and dinner was also awesome... Location of the hotel is bit away from the market area but overall good experience 


Excellent Hotel 

Very nice hotel and nice House keeping staff and Chef for breakfast. Vishal made fabulous Dosa and Alkesh took good care of us. The only thing they need to improve is there Ala carte menu for Lunch and dinner.

Very Nice stay

Me and my friend visited this hotel on 1st of March and I must say this place was very beautiful with best view of ooty lake..... All the staff were very polite and wanted to thank each and everyone who made our stay very smooth and special thanks to neeru and her colleagues...... 

Owsome stay with best sight scene

If you are going for this hotel you need to get a room in premium to get a super view of the boat club. Rooms are spacious with a sofa big enough for another person to sleep in it. Vert near to Ooty railway station. They will charge you 150 rs in cab from railway station to this hotel. Plus if you want to travel to nearby place you can take auto whom will charge 100 rs to 150 rs to gardens.

Super Hotel with a fantastic View

Rooms are good. Location is good. They do have a parking facility as well as elevator in the hotel which I did not expect. The breakfast buffet at the fourth floor is also sufficient , not many options like 4-5* hotel buffet but good enough mixture of north and south Indian food with good taste.

Location is also good just in front of the ooty lake and the best part was they had a in-house theatre as well where they play a new movie everyday which I have never seen in any hotels.

So overall its an amazing hotel and value for money. It could also be a bit overpriced if you book last time like me where I paid 5k for a room which I believe in was worth 3-3.5k per night for two. So prices are definitely at the higher end which depends on the time you visit there and when are you booking.

Good location and hotel services with Polish range of food options in buffet with mix of North and south food

It is the nice hotel with reasonable budget for family as well as friends. It is located near by lake.Everything is ok. especially their complementary breakfast . it is very tasty. only the problem is, they are not cleaning room every day. 

Recommending

Its one of the best hotel in the town. With great view and facilities. Specially Mr. Mohan, he is very helpful and jolly person. We checked in the last minute and he helped us with the best price. ❤️🙂

Great stay

June 16 hotel Darshan...good hotel with neat and helpful staff. Food at hotel is top notch both quality and taste. it is better than A2B and other hotels we tried. near to boat house and pleasant stay. recommend for family , especially with kids 

good stay with good restaurant 

Hotel Darshan at Ooty is suitably located with a grand lake view. The ambience of the hotel is great since it is a little away from the city crowd. The rooms and the hotel as a whole is very neatly maintained. Although it is a vegetarian only hotel, but the food is quite good and delicious. The place in the hotel to like most is the roof top restaurant where the daily breakfast is served. The staff is well-behaved and smart. The only concern to me was the travel desk, which, I felt, is not up to the mark.

Ooty trip in May 2022

Hotel Darshan being a fairly new property is well maintained and located at a picturesque location in Ooty. 

Location: If you are a person searching for a peaceful property situated far from the main town then this is one of the best place to stay. It is located approximately 2km from the main market and it oversees the famous ooty lake. You won't find any hustle or noise of the town throughout the day and evening onwards it becomes too quiet. It is situated opposite the lake boat house and there are few local shops situated, however if you want to visit the main market then a 20mins brisk walk is to be done from the hotel. There are loads and loads of greenery around the property and  a sense of peace will prevail within you by staying here. 

Rooms: to get the best view of the lake, a premium room is a must. A big enough room loaded with all major amenities and a beautiful view of the ooty lake makes the premium rooms to fall for. The design of the hotel is such that ample open space is available in each of the floors barring the sixth floor which have private balconies. The rest of the floors have adjoining terrace to enjoy the view of the lake. 

Plastic bottles are banned in ooty so there is provision for a water purifier in the room which is really needed. They have electric kettle and all amenities to prepare tea and coffee inside the room. 

There is 24 hr running hot water available but sometimes they forget to switch on the hot water pressure pump so in that case you need to call the reception and it will be sorted.washrooms are super clean and spacious with all amenities including a hair dryer. 

The bed is comfy but if you are suffering from back pain then the mattress is a big no for you. Else those who enjoy fluffy and comfy mattresses, for them it's a nice option to choose. 

The television has limited hindi channels available as a subscription but still that part is manageable as most of the time you will be outside enjoying. 

The balcony has seating facility with a coffee table so that you can enjoy the view while having your tea or coffee or snacks. 

Food: they offer buffet breakfast and the options are fairly good to start your day. They serve idli, sambhar, chutney, poha. Dosa and poori are made to order. Remember it's a vegetarian restaurant so you won't get any non veg options. However they have omlette in their menu card but they don't serve. 

Food is tasty and affordable. The Chinese preparations are the best. They don't have much South Indian food options in lunch or dinner. The North Indian preparations need improvement. Snacks have limited options but the French fries and the pakodas are freshly prepared and tasty too. 

The most important part! 
Service : Very satisfactory. They provided airport pick up and drop in a neat and clean sedan with a very polite and nice driver. The fare is very reasonable and at par with the market standard. The driver Karthik is a nice person and will help you in getting the best sightseeing possible. He also guided me to get my rtpcr tests done before my departure. 

Room service is very good. The staffs are very polite and humble. Mr. Anup and Mr. Vikram have extended their all possible help to make our stay comfortable. As a special obligation they helped me in getting the print out of my boarding pass as well. 

Room service is very nice. They clean the room and washroom on daily basis and it is done very professionally. 

Hotel Decor: one of the best decors I have seen. Very simple and elegant with loads of open space available. The corridors are decorated with monochrome paintings depicting the history of the tribal culture of Tamilnadu. The doors have an elegant design and they paste a welcome note printed in your native language which is a unique thing. The alleys have many flowering planters and they are clean and maintained. 

Areas of improvement:

1. They mainly accept cash so keep a lot of cash handy as you won't get an atm nearby untill you reach main market. During this covid time, I suggest that cashless transactions may be encouraged. 

2. The rooms in the monsoon attract a lot of flies and even after proper cleaning they still remain inside the room which could be a turnoff for you. It's better to have insect repellents inside the rooms to provide better ambience. 

3. North Indian Preparations need improvement and more South Indian cuisines may be introduced in the menu apart from breakfast. 

4. They have elevator however it's accessible from 1st floor only. People need to walk 10-15 steps towards the first floor to board the lift. It's difficult for elderly people who couldn't walk upstairs. I don't know why the provision of elevator till the ground floor is not done. 

Overall a very pleasant and memorable stay with very courteous staff members and managers.
