Hillside Hideaway Gudalur

Solid rooms like you would find at any other budget hotel in India. The location is very good, less than a minute walk from the bus station and on the edge of town so that all restaurants are within reach and yet, on a hill facing away from the hustle and bustle. What disappointed us are the amenities. The listing said "air conditioning," but in reality, this costs ₹ 500 extra and is currently broken and unavailable anyway. The owner served with help and advice, e.g. by arranging an early morning taxi to Mudumalai for ₹ 1300, a very fair price. The only problem is, the taxi never showed up, making us late for our tiger safari. The bathroom has 24/7 hot water and a shower, but the two are not connected. So, the shower is always cold, but you can get a bucket of hot water. I feel they are setting a high standard for themselves - and failing to meet it in many regards. This feels unnecessary and disappointing. There is room for improvement that would make this a much better hotel.

1. While staying at the hotel, there was no power supply for the entire night and the following day evening also the same issue. They didn’t even have a ups to provide backup. 2. Not worth for this price range. 3. Staff is good.

Sorroundings are very bad. Foul smell everywhere. No roomboys to support luggage. King-size bed in space of single coat.
