Average hotel. Reasonably acceptable breakfast. Wifi was not working. Staff courteous. Nothing much to praise or blame for. Located just opposite the Kodai International school. ATM, coffee shops, restaurants all within walking distance. Noisy rooms and in the night the outside lights make darkness impossible.

Been to Goldan Parks after 3years this time with friends. Been happy to see the facelift and surprisingly to see a SUBWAY and a trendy Freshys restaurant in the complex.
Planned for a 1nighter and eventually extended a day more.
Anytime I recommend the hotel and services to people now. A way difference I can see how it used to be and now.
Kudos guys!!!

Food was really yummy and only veg food was available since it's a vegetarian restaurant. last but not least Mr.CLINTON (General Manager) really made our stay more comfortable during our stay. Thanks to him and his team for given us a memorable holiday .

My family celebrated Christmas and New Year's at this hotel. The staff was very friendly and even made us a meal in the middle of the night when we were hungry. There is an excellent bakery called 'daily bread' nearby which serves amazing muffins and ginger cookies. There is also a Subway and Dominos below the hotel. The ice rink is closeby as well. The club, which as we were told is the oldest architectural landmark of the city, can be seen from the hotel.The best part is that the lake is a 2 min walk past the fruit market. We spent a lot of time boating and cycling around the lake!

Good experience....we stayed at Golden Parks Inn. A family of 7. We got the family suite - 2 bed rooms 2 toilets plus sitting area with dining and great view in one room . Good price and all of us enjoyed as well stayed in the same room. In other hotels we would had to take 2 or 3 rooms and be separate. This was good fun and we had a great time. Hotel is close to bus stand and KPN office is in the building. Everything is nearby and walking distance. Staff were friendly and nice. Great place for a family on a budget....☺

Walking caterpillarly towards Goldan Parks as my only hope for accommodation dreading the nuances of a “Budget” hotel during my visits twice earlier…I stepped in to experience an end to end positive evolution shockingly surprised .
The change began from the charming turnaround attitude and warmth of the reception staff, and behold the room was amazingly fragrant “comfort” fresh with crispy clean linen not excluding the spotless fully functional toilet and 24/7 hot water.
With its best location and attached food service conveniences combined with most importantly NOW! the above I sure would be back in September or earlier.

We have also launched a new summer menu at our pure vegetarian restaurant - Kovai Annapoorna featuring Karaikudi and Tandoori specialities for lunch and dinner. For non-vegetarians, the chicken dhum biryani at Kurinji, our multi-cuisine restaurant is fast becoming a city favourite! A quick service take away counter is now open at the lobby level offering packed lunches enabling guests to maximize time for sightseeing. We hope you will return with the family, especially your charming daughter and your friends to stay with us and explore more of Kodaikanal.

I arrived in Kodaikanal and was searching for a hotel that was near the lake. I entered 2 other hotels near the bus stand and felt the tariff a bit high, and in my 3rd stop, I entered Goldan Parks Inn and I felt the tariff was more towards my liking and it came with free breakfast. This hotel is located in the main town and it is walking distance to the bus stand, the lake, and food joints. The rooms were decent and the staff was friendly. The staff even helped me find a local guide who took me to other tourist spots for a nominal fee. I had a great weekend without spending too much money.

I have never seen sych a worst hotel anywhere in TN.
1. Rooms are dirtt.. No cleaning
2. Yellowish water in wash basin
3.Towels, chair cushions, screen clothes has so many dirty marks of prev visitors.
4.if you call room service, they will attend like EB office pune. Simply say nio one to attend now...
5.NV Restaruent will use a rice brand worse than govt rice for making awesome briyani, pulav etc.
6.Veg Restaurent will serve only idly dosa and chappathi... Nothing else.
7.Unfortunately no milk, no coffee, tea will be served from buying the road side tea shop for 5 rs and billed 20 rs.
8.You can hear too many phones ringing in other rooms, window, door sound, etc during your sleep hours too.
9.Max all budget hotels are sorrounded this hotel offer rooms half the price than this monopoly with few good reviews here in the past.
All hotels in lawghats,7hills road etc are nearby lake and bazar,busstand etc... So choose something else... Avoid this govt hospital.
