I stayed here with a friend in March 2012. We arrived around 5pm and had to pay an entry fee at the park reserve gate. We were told that even though we were leaving around 12 noon the following day, this entry fee was to be paid daily and we would have to pay it again in the morning if... More

If you want to enjoy the nature in tranquility with your loved ones - this is the best place in Periyar. The room rents includes buffet breakfast and dinner, and those are lavish. The cuisine is not restricted to South Indian. Rooms are clean and spacious. You can't go outside the lodge's boundary after 6 p.m. Normally not much guests... More

Periyar House is without doubt one of the best budget property of KTDC ( Kerala State Tourism Development Corporation Ltd. ). I had stayed there more than atleast 20 times , at different seasons. The rooms are impeccably clean, spacious and well furnished. Earlier, frequent monkey raids to the rooms were a cause of concern for the tourists staying there.... More

stayed for three days over christmas '11. there is a very limited choice of places to stay in the park, and this lack of competition is probably why we found the staff uninterested and generally unhelpful, the food mediocre and the room standard quite low. some wildlife, like monkeys, hornbills, wild pigs and deer could be seen on the grounds,...

If you want to spend some quality time with your loved one from the bustling city, periyar House is the best place to stay. The property is within the Tiger Reserve and closes for guests by 6 PM and one can have a great time within the premises of the property with loved one. Food is good and the boat... More

After our near miss with the KTDC property in Munnar we were worried what this place would be like. I must confess it is nothing special in its own right, I suppose if Travel Lodge did budget hotels in jungles then this would be it. It was spotlessly clean, the room was a good size, bedding was clean and the... More

Well it is 50-50. The property is well maintained. Nice big size rooms and very clean. Good service and polite staff. Food is excellent and well priced although the buffet in evening is average. Location is a plus as you stay inside the jungle. Periyar's main attraction is boating and there are two options. 1) Forrest department boat 40RS and... More

We were attracted by the location but soon found that the limitation of being locked in at 6pm (park gates close) was really annoying. Otherwise the hotel features basic accommodation (Indian Government guest house style with slightly better quality in the higher categories. The food was ok and the place clean.
