The ambience of the hotel is attractive n the rooms are descent but b'coz there is no ventilation u feel suffocated so AC is a must. Also the breakfast served is way below average specially when the milk given for cornflakes is more water then milk n the poori bhaji's bhaji was more watery then the semi solid bhaji also... More

Situated in remote area. Value for food is zero. Few rotis and dal comes to rs 1000. No AC in a 5 star hotel room. No wheel-chair avaliable for senior citizens. No proper plug points for charging phones. Who gave them the extra 3 stars? VERY VERY BAD EXPERIENCE.

Ambience: Average Rooms: Clean, big but average nothing worth mentioning. Patio rooms had big sit outs. Bathrooms: Nothing great Restaurant only one. Decent food not very great. Serves only beer. I think doesnt have a... More

We visited Munnar in December 2010 (though I am writing this review in May 2012) and stayed for one night and two days at The Elephant court. Our first impression of the resort was not that great as it somehow did not feel welcoming, though the staff actually gave us a traditional welcome. But once we checked in, our opinions... More

Elephant Court is a lovely resort for a holiday in thekaddy. Good rooms, nice location, well maintained pool and of course, excellent staff. Good food options too. Rooms are large and have big sitout (patio rooms). Overall a grt experience. Worth the money. Strongly recommend.

The entrance to the hotel is lovely and the welcome with flowers etc a nice idea but felt a little contrived as we were both hassled about losing something and felt the flowers and towel rather thrust upon us! Rooms are spacious and well equipped but not air conditioned. We had a duvet (!) and as the fan was so... More

We arrived after a long hot drive only to find that our room did NOT have air conditioning, only a ceiling fan. Having checked with other guests, it was apparent that their rooms were also non a/c. Although we had a large balcony facing the tropical forest, it was obviously advisable to close the doors at night despite the heat,... More
