We were 17 adults. I booked 7 rooms 4 months ago . I stayed ooty sterling 2 nights ( all 17 ) Kodikkanal sterling had terrible experience. First they don’t have big vehicles access to resort. Second they accommodate 7 rooms , but they charge for 2 adults 3790 for even sleeping in the floor. For 3 days trip they charge me over $ 3000.00 . Very bad

Room maintenance needs to be looked into. The tiles had water marks all over. The soap dispenser was coming out. The sofa was too soft to sit onto. The blankets were not properly maintained. Outside the rooms the property was good but the room condition wasn't good

2/10 Poor

Misleading name with terrible service.
It is not by the lake. You can only barely see the lake from one part of the hotel, and that tool few hundred meters away. Terrible service. No Wi-Fi except lobby. And to top it all they give weird juvenille excuses as if the guests are morons. It is not the individual servers that were bad, the management sucks. Big time.

Okay except for the breakfast
Breakfast is very poor taste wise if you are used to tasty food. The restaurant cutlery cleanliness is questionable as forks and knives which fall on to the floor are replaced on the table with out being cleaned by the staff with out even blinking an eye

Amazing resort. Great hospitality!
The resort is located at a nice spot.. Reachable easily by a local taxi. The lake view is nice. The front desk is very helpful and they helped me check-in / check out easily and quickly. The villa like rooms very stunning and the interiors were of high quality. Only thing we noticed was there is no pre installed room heaters. We had to call the housekeeping to provide us a portable room heaters. They housekeeping staff was highly hospitable and quick in responding. The most amazing thing about the resort is the in house restaurant. The food was amazing. They also have a food truck at the resort lawn, serving coffee / tea and snacks. The lawn is beautiful and well maintaine. They have an amazing set of out door activities. They got in house bicycle hire shop, so it is very comfortable to hire a bicycle for an hour and take a quick tour around the lake. The food / other amenities are at a reasonable price compared to the location. The engement activities like bon fire, DJ night, theme based dinner..Was amazing. Overall it was a great experience and an unforgettable stay at the 'Sterling by the lake'. Can't wait to come back to your hotel!! :) Great job guys!

The stay was good at the resort with clean rooms and excellent staff. It is highly recommended for families with young kids as there are many activities within the resort. The only negative is that the restaurant is run by a different vendor and their pricing is quite confusing - varying from low to very high. Food taste is average.

Nice-ish Hotel, close to the Lake, no Lake-view.
I found that the staff were sluggish, and not up to date with tourist information. Not too clean. The bathroom smelt very strongly of mould.
