Great trails Kodaikanal by GRT Hotels

10/10 Excellent
"Timber Chalet was spacious and super quiet inside.Washrooms were clean with dove handwash,shampoo and conditioner. Bed, sheets and pillows were clean and really comfortable. The breakfast options were largely organic with a super spread ranging from iddiyappam to chicken curry and hot dosas off the counter . Dinner is even better with yummy Biriyani and variety dishes in chicken, mutton or even prawns (with alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages).Vegetarian options in plenty as well. Staff are attentive and immediately available for anything. Frankly no negatives to call out except that the pricing might be slightly on the higher side."

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed in a comfortable and spacious Deluxe Room, with a peaceful and pleasant ambience that was perfect for relaxing both mind and body. The staff at the front desk and in the restaurant were exceptionally friendly, courteous, and attentive, making the experience even more pleasant. I had opted for the AP plan (All meals included – Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner) and the food was absolutely outstanding. Every meal was rich in flavour, generously portioned, beautifully prepared, and thoughtfully served, making dining a real highlight of the stay. The lavatory was relatively very small, and room cleanliness has to be improved. Other than this, the overall stay was truly excellent. "
