Great Hotel, Ok location

The hotel is a bit away from things, but still close enough to some other hotels that you don't feel isolated, but there's some traffic and noise. It's about a 15 minute walk to get to the lake and to the area of town with shops and restaurants. The hotel itself is lovely: clean, well-maintained, comfortable rooms, and good food. One evening they played a Bollywood movie during dinner, which we enjoyed. The staff was efficient and courteous... very professional. Overall a good place to stay, though not as centrally located as some of the other hotels.

Pleasant Experience

Hi all, Visited kodai for the first time with my family. Booked Hotal Jai thru online. It was one of the best hotels we have ever been. I have booked a Family triple room which is very big and clean. Both my kids enjoyed and had enough space to play inside the room itself. U can make tea, coffee any time u want without any cost. They have wi-fi and good car parking space. They provided us a complimentary buffet breakfast which is hot and excellent taste similar to our home made food. They help you to book cabs for sight seeing and tours. We had a very pleasant experience in sight seeing especially the forest tour. Entire hotel staffs are keen to help us to make our trip pleasant. Thanks to all for making our trip a pleasant memory.

gute Lage & ein Hotel zum Wohlfühlen

ein einfaches aber sauberes Hotel mit sehr freundlichem Personal. Das Haus ist etwas abseits gelegen, so daß der Straßenlärm nicht stört. Die Angestellten sind herzlich und kompetent. Der Ort ist ein bekannter Urlaubsort in herrlicher Landschaft gelegen. Von Seiten des Hotels ist man sehr bemüht den Gästen einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt zu ermöglichen. Dazu gehören auch zu bestimmten Anlässen sehr nette Überraschungen für die Gäste wie das Abendessen als Gartenparty mit Lagerfeuer. Das Essen ist typisch indisch und sehr gut. Telefon und Internet funktionieren sehr gut dank kostenlosem WiFi . Die gesammte Anlage ist sehr sauber und es gibt wundevolle Blumen und Bäume dort. Ebenfalls ist ausreichend Parkmöglichkeit vorhanden und die Fahrzeuge werden bewacht. Ich würde das Hotel wieder buchen, weil ich mich wohlgefühlt habe, sowohl im Ort als auch in diesem Hotel.
