The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, even at busy breakfast times. The breakfasts were really delicious consisting of freshly made pancakes, toast, banana and a choice of eggs with tea or coffee and juice. The rooms are very generous and spotlessly clean. Perfect proximity to the tiger reserve.
It advertised having a bath (one of the reasons we booked) but there are no baths in the resort so that was really disappointing, and they must remove bath from their description. This is the only reason it isn't 10/10 across the board.

Clean rooms with high ceilings and good bathrooms. Good ventilation. A cafe with a selection of international and Indian food. Easy parking. Great location for the national park on a quiet road off the busy town centre.
Communication with the cafe staff - eg. requesting specific food item or adjusting a dish didn’t quite work out. I think the staff need a bit more confidence to say when they don’t understand a request. Also the room layouts vary quite a lot. The hotel should separate them on booking.com so it’s clear what room is being booked.

Very friendly, attentive and helpful staff - assisted with all the questions we had. Great location - close to shops and departure point for the Periyar Tiger Reserve buses. Coffee house on site served good food for breakfast (included in what we booked) and dinner (paid separately).
The floor in our room stained our socks/shoes. Would be easier for international guests to use dispensing soap/shampoo instead of blocks. Luggage storage wasn't secure - stored next to reception desk in the open.

The rooms are very big (28m2) with high ceilings (two stories high) and interior staircases in the rooms leading to private balconies. The architecture of the entire property is cool, with a fieldstone façade. The property is designed around an internal garden / courtyard which helps to block the sound of the road. Directly across the road is a large bamboo grove on the edge of the national park.
Unfortunately, no monkeys entered the property during our stay. When booking the accommodation, based on the map, I thought and hoped that the property was outside of town, isolated in the forest. However, the property is in town, albeit on the edge of town, in a relatively quiet area (though restaurants, shops, the park booking office are only meters away). I was hoping for a more isolated spot.

We loved the layout of this hotel with its charming garden courtyard. The plum cake and tea was very welcome.
There was a great roof top terrace to our room but this was only furnished by a concrete bench - a little more outdoor furniture would have made this a fantastic space to enjoy.

Best feature of this stay was the centralized location. If there is an intention to be involved with the available programs at the Periyar Tiger Reserve, this location is perfect since the 2 park entrances are between 5-10 minutes walk from here and the booking facility (ticket counter for the Periyar programs) was next door. Room was comfortable but basic. Hot water seems to be an issue here at times, and I had some issues with the wi-fi. Only breakfasts are available but there is no restaurant at the premises. A great restaurant option is next door to the property at the neighboring resort - top shelf restaurant there. Staff was very helpful and friendly. I thought the stay a bit pricey for the facility, but I believe its the location that makes this property a bit more expensive, and the centralized location makes this option quite attractive. However, contacts at the property sourced the best jeep tour guide from the property Ask for the guy with the bright red jeep. Best jeep tour of the different ones I had while in Kerala - very enjoyable! Also recommended would be the nearby performing arts theater and martial arts exhibition, which is only a 5-minute walk from the property. I enjoyed the Thekkady area very much with my stay here for the week and gained an excellent photo log from the venture. Also some good souvenir shops in the area.
No frig, hot water wasn't always available, wi-fi was come and go.

Highly recommend this small hotel. Lovely spacious rooms in a great location on edge of town, close to wildlife park and variety of restaurants. Staff were super helpful- had booked us various safari activities within half an hour of arriving - friendly and efficient. Would stay again.
No curtains on some high up windows in the room means hard not to wake early.

Centrally located with very easy access to nearby attractions. Rooms were spacious and clean. Staffs were very friendly and overall service was very good.
There is no restaurant at the property. What they have is a cafe and hence the options are pretty limited. However you have other restaurants nearby. There was no air conditioner in the rooms but was manageable as the weather was kind of cool.

Cleanliness is top notch . Very helpful staff
It’s a boutique property and the size of the property is very small so there ain’t much you can do at the property. There’s a cafe but you should be considering other hotels for your lunch and dinner .
