Worst management Firstly the worst hotel i have ever been in . This lockdown time. The service in the hotel is a joke.The guy who works in the reception, he do not know the rules of hotel management. We planned for 2nights. During this lockdown time they not supposed to give the room, but luckily we got the room after having a word with Mr. Anup. We spent one night enjoy mentally . Next day morning they requested us , for early checkout .its make us panic . They not supposed to tell that . cops are coming to check the hotel so please do the checkout early he said. Without police permission they offered the room during lockdown. we are 3. Anup offered suit room for us. Before doing checkin we questioned him, is the hotel is opened??? he replied with the smile , we are always welcome for the guest. But next day morning his behaviour quite different We are disappointed with the management. No wifi to be found and poor to cell reception wouldn’t recommend waisting your time here . We were lied to the staff, who had service the food to us. We said him we are the police guest. Its make us shameless. We are sorry to him.…

Dear Sir, It is extremely unbecoming of you to post a review of your stay at Sinclairs Retreat Ooty. On your arrival we had informed you that the hotel has been closed on account of Covid 19. You misrepresented to us that you are related to Police Officials and only on your insistence we allotted a suite room to you. You were fully aware that the hotel is closed and because of your pleading, out of human considerations and considering your predicament, we allotted a suite to you. Naturally in view of the closure of the hotel, which you were fully aware, none of the facilities were working. Therefore it is indeed unfair on your part to complain about the poor services. Since you have yourself admitted that you were ‘shameless’, we have nothing further to add. We are not concerned that you are disappointed with the management, because we will be happy not to have guests like you in our hotel.

Very good hotel with excellent facilities like gym badminton tt carrom. Went there during March 2021. The view from room was very good. Food is good . We had the best dal tadka and jeera rice with papad. No need to go out for any meal. Although only breakfast is included as complementary. Thanks to all the staff especially preetam who made our stay very pleasant.

Dear Mr Varma, Thank you for your review which we would like to respectfully submit, is an attempt to portray a wrong perception of our property! We usually do paid up-gradation on request but only subject to availability of rooms and our front office team and the Manager himself politely explained to you; however please do inform us about your next visit, so that we can allot a room accordingly. Please be assured that guest satisfaction and superior services are our prime consideration. We strongly urge you to visit us again – we assure you that you will return with happy memories as many of our guests do!

Great location - away from the center & hustle bustle. Possibly the highest location in Ooty at this point of time. Great view of the valley from the property and rooms(you should choose valley view rooms). Mr. Sumanta who is the Food & Beverage Manager is a great guy and you can count on him to ensure you are well taken care off with regards to food. Chef Chandan will always make you happy from his kitchen and his staff. Mr. Pritam Singh who was in charge of room services took very good care of us. So great staff, whom you can always rely upon for satisfaction & services. I enjoyed my stay thoroughly and i am sure most of you will.
