Hotel Sinclairs Ooty

Hotel Sinclairs Ooty

I stayed for 3 nights and 4 days are Hotel Sinclairs - Ooty. It is a 3 star hotel located close to Ooty town. I think it would be around 5 KMs from the Charring Cross. I got a good deal from Makemytrip.com . I got the entire package including tea, lunch and dinner for 10K. The room that we got was not up to the standard of a 3 star hotel. The room was damp but later I figured out that most of the hotels in Ooty are like that. Few things that I really liked about the hotel Sinclairs. - Hotel Sinclairs Ooty is the only hotel in Ooty that has central heating system in place. - Food is really good at Hotel Sinclairs Ooty - Beautiful view of the town Below are some of the pictures that I clicked there.

The information provided above was collected by me during my three visits to Ooty. I have stayed in Hotel Sinclair, Ratan Tata Guest house and Hotel Nahar.

I got a very good deal from MakeMyTrip for Sinclairs where I was given 3N/4D with Breakfast, Dinner and Tea for 10K. It was during the peak season of Summer holidays. The food is really good at Sinclairs. I suggest you to go for dinner there once even if you are not staying there. Another thing that I really liked about the hotel was the view from its garden. The rooms and the facilities inside the room really disappointed me. The shower was not working and the taps were broken and the room was damp. ( and that I later found out was the case with most of the hotels in Ooty). So I suggest that you should try directly to contact the Hotel and also contact travel agents such as makemytrip. Ask for good deals and you might land up with a DEAL. Also I suggest read up reviews in TripAdvisor before making booking.

If you are in the market and feel like eating, there are a lot of shops selling south indian food. If you want something more than that it would be a difficult to search one. We found 2 very good eateries - Punjabi Dhaba and Nahar Restaurant. Punjabi Dhaba is around 100m from the Charring cross and Nahar is at the Charring Cross. During summer time, Hint- Bangalore had set up its disc and it was a good place to have a beer and snacks.

One has to book Ratan Tata Guest house much in advance. The room rent is very low and rooms are also not great. But it has got a very good location. It is near the lake and main bus stand. The caretaker is a very nice old guy.

The concept of home stay and plantation stay has not yet picked up very much in Ooty but there are some quality home stay/plantation stay in Ooty. Few of them are Sangeetha - Fern Hill, The Tryst - Coonoor and Glendale Estate - Coonoor.
