Hello gomathi7 and welcome to indiamike.

Maybe there are some in our hotel section, you could check.

If you give us some idea of your budget, maybe somebody can help.

Best value for money right now [off season] is the Hotel Tamil Nadu run by the govt TTDC. you can check availability and rates, booking etc at tamilnadutourism.org
I have stayed here many times in the off season, as apart from being low priced, its also best located on a small hillock, quiet and just 5 min walk from the main Charring Cross / Commercial St area.

Budget is the main issue; If you can afford it: Hotel Kings Cliff is a lovely heritage bungalow. Further up strawberry hill is Howard Johnson The Monarch, a good 4 star hotel (with interesting discounts if no full).

i'm staying in the reflections guest house by the lake and it's lovely. really cosy rooms - 400rs without tv and 600 with tv. 10 minutes from the main drag and all the shops, food places and internetings.

lovely place, they arrange walking tours (and make you a packed lunch) with a really knowledgable chap, sightseeing tours around the nilgiris and will even arrange onward transport. they also have a communal sitting room with an open fire for chatting the night away. the food's not all that though.....

all in all... a lovely place to stay

I lived in Ooty for 3 years..I know the places but I don't know about hotels though.

I hope the lake is cleaned up. It was a mess last time I was there - about 6 years back. Thoddabetta and the botanical garden are nice places to see.

The narrow gauge train from Mettupalayam to Ooty is one of the best train rides you can get.

i have stayed in one hotel nahar which is pretty nice and posh. also hotel darshan adjoining the lake is a nice bet ...

but both of them are a bit on the costly side about 1.5k ...

Woohoo a post about Ooty! A place I actually been to!

I wonder if the hotel "Ootygate" is still there? It is about a two mile walk from the town, and a mile from the state bus stand. When I stayed there it was about 600 rs a night, but that was a few years ago. It's an "Indian hotel", I was the only westerner, and the place was excellent! There was only one mosquito that I had to kill in all of three days, they rented heaters out for the cold, and had wool blankets, clean, and the only annoyance was the walk- but you could always take an auto...

Ive been many times to Ooty and the Nilgiris district but never seen a mosquito or a leech, of course I have always been in winter when it is probably way too cold for them to survive.
First time I heard about mosquito[s] in Ooty. They must be intruders from the grotty plains!
