Good location, swift service, courteous staff and nice and clean rooms. nearby to the lake, they book vehicle on request. Breakfast is very good, though there is variety in the dinner, the taste is just average. Also the dining hall is not that great, it has normal plastic chairs and tables, can upgrade/renovate to make it more classy.

For those who are visiting Kodai to experience nature's beauty and calm and a siren environment, Hotel Jai is a perfect destination. 10 mins away from the hustle and bustle of Kodai city, this hotel truly stands by its tagline "luxury made affordable".

I booked this hotel based on TA feedback and overall this was a good choice. The Hotel is located away from the hustle and bustle of main Kodai and was peaceful and quiet. The room we took - Family Triple - was large and faced the front. It was fairly well equipped. There is also ample parking area. The staff... More
