Stayed at hotel Darshan in May 2012 with family and absolutely loved the location & view from my room on 3rd floor. Pros: * Breathtaking view of Ooty lake & boathouse from virtually any floor (which you'd miss terribly if staying in a lodge inside the Ooty town). * Room service was prompt & courteous, and attended to my needs...

I loved this place. The rooms could do with a revamp but the fantastic ocation and friendly staff more than make up for it! I would definitely recommend it! :-)

Got hooked to this hotel after reading good reviews about the veg restaurant and the room service. But the hotel Darshan Management is most irresponsible in gust service. Here is my experience. 1. Room NOT at the promised location - While taking the advance they promised room at one property and allotted at a different location which has two cell... More

Very musty and mouldy. Room structure means no ventilation to bathroom... More
