First of all - - this is higher-end 5-Star hotel. We went for a family trip and stayed at The Carlton for one day. The main purpose was to have a lakeview and relax. Thanks to our timing and the hotel staff for making sure that we got a lake-view room. Being a star hotel, their service was very nice... More

The Carlton has the benefit of being on the most prime location-near the lake. The service is quite mediocre. On cold evenings it's great to sit by the fireside sipping your drink. But I would definitely eat elsewhere. The dinner buffet is terrible. Every time.

We stayed there in the 1st week of March, 2013. This was the second time - after a gap of nearly 10 years. On both these occasions, the peace and quite we were yearning for, were denied. On the first occasion it was a marriage party. And this time it was a business group who "took over rest of the... More

We loved the place. Not too big and not too small. Great location, clean rooms, outstanding staff, great food and not but not the least the lobby with the fireplace makes this place worth staying. We were told that this is the only five star facility in Kodaikanal. Added attractions are the daily tour of Kodai, and boat ride that... More

Excellent room quality - looks like recently renovated. The lounge with a fireplace is real cool. Not a sprawling property (there r few in Kodai - Kodai International) but probably the best in Kodai. Best to go for package as the hotel throws in few goodies like boat ride, sightseeing with MAP) - the buffet is a combination of South... More

Stayed 2 nights in March 2013- awesome location with great lake view. Very courteous and helpful staff. Specially loved their dinner buffet which had great variety for vegetarian guests. Tariff on the higher side, but still worth it.....
