Great room, serene view and service especially from staff at dining/breakfast hall. However the wifi is unreliable perhaps due to the signal at such high altitude. But I was disappointed that my wifi was deactivsted on the last day before I checked out.

Beautiful location with a mesmerising view of the Kodai lake. If you want to relax and enjoy your vacation this is the place. The hospitality is wonderful. From reception to housekeeping, from the restaurant staff to the security you will remember the smiling faces of the staff for a very long time.

Had a wonderful 3 day stay at Carlton, people are warm and the hospitality is amazing, the staff took good care of us and of all our needs. Specially enjoyed the activities in the evening hosted by Mr Anand, playing housie and watching a magic show by the bon fire was the highlight of our stay here! The rooms are spacious, not to mention the lake view! Spectacular scenery, very calming and pleasant. Would love to visit again.

Clouds shrouded the city but the Carlton provided a lovely solace. The staff were cordial and helpful. While I didn't opt to eat in for all meals, the breakfast selection was good. The events at the hotel were nice, Mr. Anant was a lovely host. Would recommend.
