Ours was one night stay, The Room given to us was stinking as there was no cross ventilation. The staff did try to clean twice but it was so stinking that my wife slept out. The towels in the room were not clean and we used our own towels. Rest of the things like arrival, swimming pool etc are good.

The Elephant Court Hotel is perfectly placed in Thekkady for visitors the the wildlife reserve and lake. It is however tired and a bit run down. The worst of the hotels we stayed at in in Kerala because it just didnt live up to its billing. Our room had light bulbs out, the bathroom with shelves loose, a toilet that... More

I was welcomed by amazing receptionists, and they helped with what ever I needed. They have WiFi in the lobby only which was a bit too far from my room. If you have difficulty climbing stairs, ask for a room closer to the lobby and restaurant. The room is amazing, clean and has all amenities. Hot water doesn't run for... More

The stay at elephant court was good overall. The rooms are big clean and well maintained. The bathrooms are spacious and well maintained. We find the food good in taste but the service is little slow. The swimming pool is also in good condition. Overall the good property to stay.
