Let me start by saying we were fortunate enough to see elephants, buffalo, bison, deer, wild boar, wild dogs, monkeys and some beautiful birds so this may affect our review. Unfortunately even if you are staying at one of the 3 hotels within the national park you still have to pay the 300 rupee per person entrance charge, something we... More

This property has changed my conception of normal government property. Excellent service and well located in the heart of the jungle. Which impressed me was an all inclusive package which covers all the meals and a morning trekking. Great views of elephant and deer in the morning and those chanting music of birds this is a must one time visit... More

We are a small group from Switzerland, spent two days in this very special Hotel ( March 2013). Lake Palace was one of the highlights in our two week trip in Kerala and Madurai. I would like to specially mention the locality and service. Once again thanks a ton, Johnson sir, Mr.Saji and all other staff.

When I was paying a high price for a state run resort, I felt like overpriced. But, now after having a blissful stay in KTDC Lake Palace, I wish to stay more for a day or two. I have been to various state run hotels around the country and always found the hotels are spacious with poor maintanance and service.... More

My wife, I and four friends had the pleasure of staying at this erstwhile maharaja's hunting lodge. The setting in Lake Periyar is brilliant allowing views of wildlife including elephant, gaur, Nilgiri langurs and various deer. To wake up to the enigmatic sounds of the jungle was truly magical. All of this was capped by excellent service from the manager... More

This place is a real gem. Accessible only by boat through the Tiger Reserve, it is a perfect spot for seeing buffalo, deer, wild boar and others. We even heard a tiger roar from across the water as we sat out on the lovey lawn, which slopped down to the shore. Our room was beautiful in its elegant simplicity, and... More

Beautiful rooms, excellent service, and views of wildlife while lounging on the grounds characterized our stay from Jan. 29 to Jan. 31, 2013. Meals cooked by Kuncho and Rajan were superb. Same day laundry service was also provided. This was one of the most peaceful and idyllic places we stayed during a 3 week Sierra Club tour of southern India.... More

Beautiful, peaceful surroundings, dont come expecting to have things to do other than unwind with nature. Good food, and friendly service made it a great stay, Try and let them... More

This is a small hotel inside the Periyar National Park. The hotel is run by KTDC and has six rooms. We stayed in this place on 27 December 2012 to 29 December 2012. The place is expensive worth the money that you pay for it. We stayed for two nights, one in a room facing inside and one in a... More
