“Awesome view at an unexpected location ”

Review of Villa Retreat
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 20 Aug 2023via mobile

To be honest I didn't expected the view and serenity at a hotel which is in close proximity to the market and main attraction points but Villa retreat really blown me away with its hospitality. Superb service and wonderful stay experience overall. Definitely will recommend to anyone traveling kodaikanalm P.s. :- I opted for the valley view room

Villa retreat offers the best stay in Kodai. Go here for an unforgettable experience.

It offers a lot of facilities to make your stay as pleasant as possible. It’s located right along Coaker’s walk and opposite to Bryant Park giving you great morning and evening walks.

We went for a villa as we were a group of 6. The rooms were super clean, very hygienic and super spacious. There’s a fireplace inside the room and the staff will give you an option to light it up for free. The glass windows and the garden gives you the view over the entire main city. Great for clicks throughout the day and night.

There is a cafe inside the property which offers complementary breakfast and additional pay-on lunch and dinner. The food is delicious and the head chef is very friendly. He personally takes reviews on the food from the guests and also plays guitar for entertainment from time to time.

5/5 stars overall

The stay was very comfortable, and we had awesome sunroom with valley view. It was an amazing view. It was raining and our room had awestruck view thus we loved staying at room. The staff was very courteous, and their hospitality was great. The food was nice, and the interior design was very thoughtful. I loved the garden, which had beautiful and unique flowers.

Excellent small hotel close to what we wanted to do. Within walking distance to Bryant Park, shopping, lake and most of the decent eating places. Its best to leave your car and walk down to these places as parking is a mess around town.
The stay for us just perfect - quaint rooms, hotel set-up and the staff. The dining experience was just awesome, although wait time during breakfast can be a bit - however we were on holiday so waiting was not an issue.
There is a limited choice on the menu for lunch / dinner which was perfect for us as the preparations were spot on.
Will come again.

Property: Very beautiful property (externally) and so closely located to a lot of sight-seeing touristy places. The valley view from the property is breathtaking! The property has this rustic old-world charm. Good vibes!
Rooms: We stayed in a "sun room with a valley view" and what a view it was! 🥰 but the room definitely needs an upgrade. There were no cupboards where we could store our luggage. At least one is required. Bathrooms need a revamp - the bath fittings are worn out and looked very dirty. A better cleaning of the bathroom needs to be done by housekeeping.
Food: Breakfast spread was amazing and so tasteful but sorry to say, the lunch/dinner menu wasn't up to the mark. We had our dinners there for 4 nights. Not everything on the menu tasted good - 50% of the menu can be cooked better just by sticking to its original taste.
