WelcomHeritage Fernhills Royal Palace

A lovely building but perhaps not the best choice in the winter.

Pros: Fernhills Royal Palace is a wonderful old building, set in its own grounds away from the centre of town. It has charm and lovely staff. We enjoyed the food in the restaurant.

Cons: The building had no heating so the room and restaurant were cold at night. They did provide a fan heater and hot water bottles but we were cold especially using the bathroom.

memorable

Pros: sheer step back in time. the history of the building is of a lost era.

Cons: somehow it lacked energy and life- but it’s so massive i’m not sure how it could be energy filled.

Pros: The palace was a true gem. A step back in history and style

Cons: N/A

Would like to come again with more visitors at a warmer time of year.

Pros: It’s interesting history and nice suite with ante room and courtyard. Lovely books in the library, excellent food, great staff. Hot water bag much appreciated!

Cons: Being the only guests in the vast ballroom. The option to have meals in a smaller room might have been nice.

A majestic taste of a bygone era

Pros: Elegant rooms and furnishings, and beautiful grounds. Fascinating historical items and photos. The staff… particularly William… were extremely friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to look after us. One can really get a sense of what life must have been like in Ooty in times gone by. Delicious food.

Wonderful

Pros: The breakfast was decent and it is a nice quiet lavish place.

Cons: Maintenance can be improved

Pros: Absolutely stunning hotel. The room I stayed in was spacious and had everything I needed. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The meals there were also absolutely fantastic and the kitchen staff cannot be praised enough!

My favourite property in Ooty 4ever!

Pros: Everything! I don't know how come such a magnificent place so underrated. Ooty was a whole new experience while staying at this heritage property. From staff to food to the proximity to city attraction everything is just perfect.

Cons: Only not meant for people who like modern amenities. Everything here would teleport you to the bygone era.

The stay was nice and the location was also beautyful.

Pros: Overall the location and the ambience was good and the food was nice.The staff was very friendly and very cooperative.

Cons: There was an additional 20% discount on food which was mentioned in the booking but the hotel didn't give me the discount on food. When asked about the same the hotel staff told me that there is no discount but it was mentioned in the itinerary.

Lovely place, highly recommend, but make sure you understand what they offer

Pros: Very happy I stayed here. Lovely building and grounds, very large room, staff very friendly. 2km from RR station. But be warned it doesn't have same facilities as a recently built 4 star hotel. Hot water not always available (but should be hours you'd probably use it). Needed space heater to fully heat room (which was large!). Again, I would highly recommend, but website ads don't make nature of facilities 100% clear so make sure your expectations are appropriate.
