King's Cliff

Firstly, I was given a room in an extension block that seemed to have been built recently. It was modern but lacked the charm and character of a true heritage property. The main building, with its fireplace and historic ambience, was nowhere to be found. This was especially disappointing considering the premium price I paid, comparable to what you'd expect from a 5-star hotel. The lack of attention to detail continued throughout my stay. When I checked in on a rainy day, I had to walk to the extension block without an umbrella despite the muddy road. The staff seemed unbothered by this inconvenience. Additionally, the room didn't have slippers, and the floor was cold, with no heating available (although they did provide a basic room heater when requested). To make matters worse, I had to call the front desk to confirm my room for the second day, which should have been done automatically as part of their standard procedure. This lack of efficiency only added to my frustration. The toiletries were also woefully inadequate, with only basic soap and shampoo provided. Power cuts were frequent, and I had to notify the front desk each time, which seemed like a hassle the hotel should have anticipated. The breakfast buffet was uninspiring and lacked flavour. To make matters worse, I had dinner at their restaurant, which was rated top in Ooty, but my experience was average at best. To add insult to injury, they got our order wrong, substituting Nasi Goreng (fried rice) with Mee Goreng (fried noodles). When I brought this to their attention, they made no effort to compensate for the mistake. In conclusion, Hotel King's Cliff fails to live up to its reputation as a heritage property or even a 2-star hotel. The overpricing and lack of attention to detail make it a poor choice for travellers seeking a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Ooty.

Maintains a perfect ambience ( relaxing, thought provoking, simple, clean and above all nature at its best) Travelling back on the history, it is nice to know that we have been a part of the old colonial heritage. Service is excellent with courteous staff. Food is good. Hot water and hot water bags have a soothing effect. Garden with exotic plants can never escape our memory. Fire places, old photos and furniture blend with the ambience and provide a completeness. We recommend the place to anyone with a taste for this kind of an ambience. It is certainly value for the money.

We booked the garden view rooms. The feel and vibe was beyond words. cozy and spacious rooms with a fireplace and old English furniture. The garden view was cool and peaceful. The food was awesome. Chef Indrajeet took us on a culinary trip to remember. The staff were polite and courteous. Pictursque location.

If you’re looking for a good place that has best food and stay options, this is your place to book! Such a pleasant and comfortable stay! Beautiful views all over the property and excellent food menu! Enjoyed the polite and warmly service of the staff. Looking forward to coming here again! Thankyou team, kings cliff!

Nestled in the hills of Ooty, King's Cliff offers a charming escape for travelers seeking a taste of history. The hotel's location is a key highlight, location - is it close to attractions, does have a good view. The building itself is a testament to a bygone era, with the property ageing more than 100yrs. While not overly luxurious, King's Cliff provides a comfortable and memorable stay. We had a very pleasant stay. The staff was really helpful and courteous.
