The best thing about this hotel is that it’s set a little farther from the hustle and bustle of the main city. However, it’s not that far too. Probably a 15-minute walk from the bus depot. The other good thing is the balcony alongside the 2nd and 3rd floor rooms. But those are the only positive things Hotel Darshan has... More

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...

We visisted Ooty in the month of May 2012 and Hotel Darshan offers best view of the Ooty Lake. The ambience in Hotel is very good and clean, the hotel staff are also very courteous. Preferably you have to take rooms in first floor of the hotel as it avoids climbing the stairs. The hotel has a very good veg... More

Stayed in hotel for one day in between 23-24 April 12, the hotel has no lift and you have to climb 97 odd steps to reach to the costliest rooms (not luxurious) available with hotel. Even, hotel staff needs breather after reaching room. There is total cheating if you book room through internet. We had totally disappointing experience. You may... More

Ooty happens to be one of my favourite destinations. I love the drive up from Bangalore, and have visited Ooty 4 times in last 6 years, and each time, landed staying in this hotel. Note that, I've always visited Ooty, "off-season". The key to enjoying Ooty (like most other places) is to visit when tourists are least in number, you... More

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
