It was a weekend trip with my wife. We reached here early in the morning and owner arranged early check in for us. He helped us to book cab for sightseeing at reasonable price. Caretaker Raj was very helpful. Room was neat and clean. Only one problem was - there was no nearby restaurant but you can easily order food online from Swiggy and Zomato. Overall it was a great stay with 'The Hill Side' Cottage. Highly recommended for family and couple. Room and bathroom were neat and clean.

    • Vivek Kaul
      4/5

      First things first. Ooty is a highly commercialised place, the most expensive in South India. So considering that, the room charges here were value for money. The property is a three-storey building atop a hill. But no great views from the rooms, just decent. When we arrived, the owner received us well and led us to the rooms. The room service boys were off duty that day. The rooms were generously-sized, squeaky clean and had all the basic amenities. The bathrooms too were sparkling bright. Strangely there was no tea/coffee or newspapers provided to us although the .... Water too was provided in a jug, and not packaged drinking water. The reception was helpful in helping us plan our Ooty sightseeing, and also got us cabs here. (Just a word of caution here, if possible book cabs directly through the cab agency. That way you get it considerably cheaper. The Hill Sides in Ooty, as is mostly at all tourist places, appear to earn a commission at the tourist's expense.) Surprisingly, the property doesn't have an own kitchen. But there is a decent newly-opened restaurant just next to the property serving both North and South Indian food. But if you are looking for more options, restaurants are at least some distance away. At night, The Hill Side also provided us with an additional blanket free of charge. Overall, it was a nice experience...

      The Hill Side was very nice, spacious, and very well cleaned. Good quality Wi-fi was available with some 3-4 mbps speed.The owner(madubalan) and his staff were very helpful. No Restaurant but room service is good. They used to provide snacks , morning tea and coffee on request. We requested for extra blanket and hot water and we got our request fulfilled. The management and staff seems to be well edcuated, well behaved and always ready to help in a humble way and with smile on face. The owner used to take care of his guest comfort by himself and so we enjoyed our trips. We got some late while coming back to hotel for an evening and very surprisingly we got a call from owner(madhubalan) and he was asking about our well-being. It was like a 2nd home away from home but i would like to request the owner to make some arrangements for some oven where we get some home cooked food.

      Let me cover the Positives first : 1. Clean rooms, washrooms, good linen. 2. Polite staff. 3.Room Heater was provided the next minute we asked for it. 4. Hot water to drink (electric kettle is provided in room). 5. The owner is friendly n takes care of every basic need. Superb stay here. Believe me when say this, I have checked The Hill Sides nearby to railway station n they were pathetic! The Hillside owner was really kind enough to provide a room for us for 3 hours even when we checked out. Negatives: 1.Far from Bus stand (4kms. auto charges 200/-). 2. No restaurant or food service but they provide from outside if asked for it. This is a very well maintained property . All in all a good place to stay.

      It was really a very pleasant stay at The Hill Side with family. The rooms are very neat and kept properly. Don't expect the facilities like 3* hotel but a guest house like your home. The best part is the owner of the property who himself take care of guests and addresses all their requests promptly so Kudos to him for such initiative. As the property doesn't have its own kitchen so a newly opened restaurant opposite to the property is the option to bunch although tea & coffee is not an issue. So people looking for simple stay with good rooms are highly recommended to go for it.

      The service the people provided was excellent. Though personal, worth sharing. One of my family members suffered from severe stomach ache at mid night, and I had to visit a doctor immediately. The manager and his people responded immediately and they took us to a nursing home. The next day morning everything was alright and we really enjoyed our trip thereafter. I felt like I stayed in my place. They arranged a cab for sight seeing in and around Ooty, and the tour was awesome. Overall, we (family of 4) enjoyed our trip very well. Thanks to the Manager.

      It is a homestay and is located slightly uphill. The owner of the property is very helpful. Perfectly arranged neat and clean rooms. View from The Hill Side room/ balcony was also good. Parking in front of the building was limited for 3/4 cars but parking was arranged at a nearby place. Driver stay room was also provided. Breakfast was limited to idlis with sambhar chutney only. Nevertheless breakfast was tasty. A restaurant is on the other side of the property where lunch dinner can be taken. Overall very nice place to stay and very much recommend.

      The owner is extremely well behaved and cooperative. He does everything to make the guests feel comfortable. The Hill Side is situated at a good location as well. Botanical garden, commercial street are very close by. 24*7 hot water in the washroom and the rooms are spacious and clean too. Enough parking space in front of the property. Although there is no in-house restaurant/cafeteria, but there is a restaurant on the opposite side of the road where varieties of food available at a very reasonable price. I certainly recommend this place.

      Excellent stay. Mr. Balan was quite helpful. Friendly person and he knows what customer service is all about. Never said no to any request. Tea was awesome. Even at 11 PM he prepared the tea for us. Had to do early checkin, he arranged the room for us and ensured we did not have to wait outside. Regular followups. Nice clean rooms. Good view from the roof top. Prices are economical. Would visit again. There is a restaurant right opposite. You can have veg and non veg both there. Nice staff there too. Overall great experience.

      It was a very good experience. This is the best hotel I have visited. The owner and the in charge is one and the same. He is very helpful. My daughter was not well, he helped me to find good doctor in Ooty . They provide very good service at reasonable rates. Due to medical emergency I had to cancelled my trip to kodaikanal and extend my stay over here. I think for family who have small children's this is the best hotel in Ooty. They do not have restaurant but they provide tea or milk when ever needed.

      Nice place to stay for family. Owner stays in the same property that makes the stay quite comfortable as he is always there to listen to any concern. They keep the bed-sheets and bathrooms clean. Location of The Hill Side is good as it is near to both Doddabetta and commercial street. But approach road to The Hill Side is not in good condition. Low ground clearance vehicles might get hurt.

      Excellent hotel - ideal for family or friends. Service is excellent. 24hrs hot water. Car parking available up to 5 cars. Rooms are neat and cozy. Nearby to charing cross road. Didn’t see any balcony. Need to go to main road for food. Definitely need your own vehicle. It’s very cold in the night since there are no room heater available in the room. Extra blankets are available.

      Hotel is very neat and tidy unlike other hotels of this price range. location is a bit interior and no restaurant facility. so you have to travel 2 km for lunch/dinner. tea cofee u will get in room. rooms are as promised but are not valley facing. if u are looking for valley facing rooms with large balconies, this is not The Hill Side for u. this hotel is ideal for families.
