Visited in March 2013. The property is situated a bit far from the main attractions of Ooty. Situated at a certain height. DO NOT THINK OF STAYING HERE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR OWN TRANSPORT. Going down to market will not be a problem, but coming up will certainly be. The Property is large but average. Rooms are big... More

The staff was very nice. I'll bet this place was really nice when it was brand new. It is not brand new anymore. My room had a musty odor. For a hotel of this category, more care should have been taken in not slopping paint and varnish where it doesn't belong. At least they have repainted obviously, but not recently.... More

I'm afraid Ooty is horribly over-rated, and the Monarch may once have been a fine establishment, but it is now a sad shadow its former grandeur. It's like walking into The Shining, like entering a Soviet era mausoleum. The place was deserted (to an extent that was creepy), we had no hot water (someone had forgotten to turn a stop-cock),...

We traveled to Ooty and stayed at The Monarch. The hotel's location is really good. We wanted to stay where there is peace and quiet, away from the everyday noise. The garden is also very nice and you will get a very beautiful view of Ooty from the hotel. We stayed at the King's Suites from where we got an... More
