Sherlock Hotel

Tucked away in the hills of ooty and packed with character this charming hotel hosted us just one night and we loved every minute. Our highlights were the delicious food and attentive staff who went above and beyond to make us comfortable.

Perched on top of a hill, 5kms from the Ooty bus stand, the road to Sherlock would make you feel like you are arriving 'somewhere'. The auto would charge you about Rs. 250/- for the journey. The arrival is a delight, the sight of the property gives you a very good feel, with its glass houses, beautifully decorated garden and the greenery! We had booked a couple of rooms, for which we were taken a steep flight of stairs down, but the view we got from our rooms was worth it - that of hills on the horizon! In terms of room amenities, thanks for the room heater, it really helped us keep warm during the night. Availability of hot water is reliable, even beyond the stated timings. But the quality of towels we were initially provided was not good, they had to be replaced. In the evenings, the campfire was lit, followed by we spending a great time indoors by the fireside. The snacks we ordered had great taste, especially the fish and chips! The food, overall was great too! We tried quite a few different items, including the Thai green chicken curry, chicken stroganoff, murgh makhanwala and the dal tadka, all of which very much met our expectations. The breakfast spread was good too, addition of fruits and juice (which had to be asked for) to the breakfast menu could be a welcome addition. Also, there was a persistent issue of flies around the dining table, so keeping a fly catcher would help. Beyond food, provision of a badminton kit and carrom ensured that we spent quality time on the property! Overall, we really loved our stay at the Sherlock, and would recommend it to our friends/relatives for a relaxing stay at Ooty.

Location is ideal and food service is excellent. Mr.praveen especially took good care of us during breakfast.

If charge point we're more than 1, it would have been ideal. Not a worrying issue though.

I truly like the location, staffs were very courteous and helpful. I would want to mention few names that I remember, Marshal, Praveen, Yashwanth & all the staffs were very helpful. I really will recommend this place to all my known contacts.....You guys are the BEST....!

Can't think of anything.....You folks are best at it............. :)
