this is a typical indian hill station -type - big block - no charm hotel . No taste, didn't even know what it was until i went in. Such a BEAUTIFUL amazing location ( on top of all ooty) but such a terrible hotel. Staff was ok. it is HUGE looks like a conference room inside , no place to... More

My Wife and I stayed here for just one night after a trip on the famous railway. The location is quite a way from the town and up a steep hill so a tuktuk was required when we wanted to see some of the sights of Ooty. The Reception and central Atrium show what a great place this was once... More

Inside, this hotel was once extremely glamorous, but that was late sixties/early seventies and is now in dire need of a refurbishment. Dark and dingy. Apart from the decor, the hotel was very average, and making allowances for the age of the bathrooms they were fairly clean. It's a good walk to the centre of Ooty, uphill on the way... More

I happen to be in the Nilgiri's valley (Ooty) which has some brilliant yet scenic places and hotels, one in which happens to be "The Monarch Hotel". Well the name speaks a lot in itself and specially when it comes from a backing of none other that Mithun Da.... I happened to dine at The Monarch quite recently with my... More

I was hoping for some good clean accommodation, disappointed to see this hotel is linked to a famed Indian actor, with his trophies on display at reception. Hotel poorly presented, kitchen staff disorganized . I will not recommend stay here.

I stayed 2 nights with my family the room was ok...but had peeling plaster & old furniture. The food was very bad...in one word Taste Less.We had prepaid for our breakfast & dinner but the staff in the restaurant behaved as if they were doing us a favour by serving food. The food was the worst part of our stay... More

We were in Ooty on a long weekend and we did not book a room in advance. We wanted to stay in another hotel, but since that hotel did not have private Car parking, we decided against it. All the other hotels were full and 'The Monarch' was the only one which had a room with Car parking. Only, the... More

We stayed for one night. The room was extremely dated and the bathroom had mildew and mould all over the the place. We stayed only one night and we didn't even take a shower because it was very dirty. Instead of central heating, they provide a small space heater for the entire room .. very inadequate for the night time... More

We stayed at the Monarch for 2 nights. The bedrooms have a wonderful view over the valley and our room was clean and spacious with a wonderful balcony/room attached. For a western palate the breakfast was disappointing with cold fried eggs and not so good coffee. Also there was no hot water at any time during our stay. The garden... More
