The Best

"Very pleasant experience"

Ram GhorpadePosted Feb 26, 2013

It was a very pleasant experience for us at Villa Retreat. The hotel\'s valley view is simply superb. The excellent elegance and aesthetics it offers leaves no doubt that the hotel must be maintenance at the highest standards. Rooms are neat, tidy and clean right upto your expectations. Hotel staff are very helpful and polite and really make you feel welcomed. Having breakfast in the morning at the garden, watching the valley from the premises, or simply passing time here - this hotel has surely left me mesmerized. I recommend Villa Retreat to all my acquintances travelling to Kodaikanal.

Best Experience: I had booked a classic room hoping for the valley view as advertised. But when I arrived, my room had a partial valley view and a complete garden view. The other classic room had a breathtaking view of the valley. The next morning, when I enquired if we could get the room changed, the manager smilingly attended to my request and got us shifted to the next room. We were really delighted by this.

Worst Experience: Nothing kinda worst, but would like to highlight one issue I faced at the time of checking out. Though the hotel claims it accepts card payments, its network connectivity had issues at the time and I had to pay all the balance by cash.

..And the Worst

"Kodaikanal- we had a tr4ip..."

Traveller 77Posted Feb 12, 2011

Kodaikanal- we had a tr4ip to ooty and then came to kodaikanal in dec 09, believe me after cool ooty stay kodaikanal was very dull, the gardens were not at all maintained and it is bit crowded.one has a lot to do in ooty than in kodaikanal. we stayed at villa retreat the room was small but had a beautiful view view of the valley and the coakers walk from the window - no balcony. service good ,food one can give it a miss. Try out the tibetian joints near the market there are about 3-4 of them the first one i guess named tibet retaurant is good. Astoria just near the market is also good place to eat veg food

Best Experience: View from the room

Worst Experience: Food needs a lot of improvement. Checkout morning 9am
