My stay at Sterling Elkhill in Ooty was a mixed experience. On the positive side, the property is spread over a large area with a good blend of outdoor and indoor amenities. They have all the basic facilities in place, including decent parking for both 4-wheelers and 2-wheelers, with security personnel on-site. The garden area is well-maintained, and the overall ambiance of the hotel is quite appealing. I stayed in the Privilege Suite, which was spacious and well-kept. The room had two TVs and a queen-size bed, and they even provided a heater, which was much appreciated given Ooty's chilly weather. The suite was clean and comfortable, making it a great place to relax. The buffet meals, both breakfast and dinner, were decent. The spread was adequate but could definitely use some improvement, especially in offering more kid-friendly options. There is a play area for kids outside, as well as an indoor games section. However, I noticed that the indoor games seem to be paid, which I felt could have been complimentary given the nature of the hotel. One downside I encountered was the layout of the rooms. Due to the hilly terrain, the construction is a bit complex, and some rooms are located past the games area, making it slightly inconvenient to navigate. In terms of location, the hotel is a bit off from the main town, but for those traveling with their own vehicle, this shouldn’t be an issue. However, my biggest issue during the stay was the lack of consistent hot water in the bathroom. This was a significant problem, especially in a cold place like Ooty. Although the staff attempted to fix it after I complained, the problem reoccurred, which was frustrating. Having regular hot water is essential in Ooty, and this was a major letdown. Lastly, the in-room dining menu felt overpriced. For example, a biryani and a non-veg starter cost around ₹1300, and the food was overly spicy, which didn’t quite justify the cost. Overall, while Sterling Elkhill has the potential to be a great place to stay, the inconsistency with the hot water and the high prices of in-room dining are things they need to address. I would consider returning, but only if they can guarantee a more reliable hot water supply.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Sterling Ooty Elk Hill, and I must say that it was a truly remarkable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a genuine smile from the staff, which set the tone for my entire stay. The location of the hotel is simply breathtaking. Nestled amidst the scenic hills of Ooty, it offers panoramic views of the lush green valleys and mist-covered mountains. The tranquil ambiance and serene surroundings provided a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The property is old, and the rooms allotted had old furniture and washroom fittings. The rooms at the Sterling Ooty Elk Hill Hotel were comfortable but had small bathrooms. Mine had a stunning view of the valley, which I could enjoy from the windows. The bed was cosy, and the amenities provided were top-notch, ensuring a pleasant and relaxing stay. The hotel's restaurant offers a wide variety of delectable dishes, and Jain food is available. The breakfast and dinner buffets were okay, but the food quality might need some improvement. The staff at the Sterling Ooty Elk Hill Hotel were attentive, polite, and always ready to assist with any request or inquiry. Whether it was arranging transportation, suggesting local attractions, or simply providing information about the area, they went above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The hotel also offers several recreational facilities, including a spa, and indoor games (some of which are paid), which added to the overall experience. I particularly enjoyed taking leisurely walks in the beautifully landscaped gardens, soaking in the tranquilly of the surroundings.

Just lived it , loved it !!!! Spacious rooms , superb view and top class hospitality is going to make your stay memorable.. Very friendly staff , very good food... Breakfast spread and service is just superb... Restaurant staff Ranjit , Manjit , sudhir , manager JP were so kind and prompt.. They have an OBSERVATORY deck.. The feel and the views are breath taking... We would definitely recommend this place for a longer stay .. Minimum 2 nights to experience the feel . This property is at a certain height.. Make sure you book the property with the meal package.. Also , this place is totally plastic free.. Make sure you carry your own water if needed .. They serve RO water in glass bottles ... We also used the activities area .. Was decent , we liked all of them... We have to specially thank Mr Shankar .. A very senior manager who made sure we were totally happy with the rooms we got .. Must have shows us at least 2-3 rooms .. The man is at the property since 30 years ... Very humble , very caring.. Thank you Mr Shankar !!! Reception staff is too young and careless... We particularly found this reception staff Devashree rude and adamant.. Her attitude towards local guests was totally different to ours... Hope management takes a note of this.. Nevertheless, we left that place totally Happy... Full marks to this property !!!

One of the best hotel/resort located on the top of Ooty. Mr Suresh takes care of all the guests very well and all the staffs are very cooperative. We have booked 1 bhk which has amazing view from the balcony. They have also decorated the room well for birthday celebration. The hotel has huge area with ample parking space, Kids park, spa, Activity area etc. Actually there is a lot more which you can enjoy during your visit. You can opt for buffet which has varieties of veg and non veg and you can enjoy the food with a beautiful view. I recommend this hotel. Must visit!! Sharing some beautiful photographs with you.

Fantastic service and ideal location! The hotel staff provided exceptional hospitality throughout our stay, ensuring every need was met promptly and with a smile. The convenient proximity to major attractions made sightseeing effortless. While the overall experience was superb, improving the buffet quality could elevate the dining experience even further. Nevertheless, a highly recommended choice for its stellar service and prime location.

An absolutely fantastic property ... A very soothing and relaxing ambience ... Courteous staff... Small yet Cozy and warm rooms... Well furnished ... Good and thotful amenities ... Albeit missing/empty mini bar... A fantastic view... A bit congested balcony ... Smooth Checkin ... Helpful, quick and efficient service ... We were so taken over by the experience, that we wanted to extend our stay by a day or two ... Unfortunately, there seemed some confusion bcoz twice we were told rooms are not available and twice we were informed that rooms were available ... In all these confusion, i had booked a room in Coimbatore and had to cancel considering first thy said rooms are available and later said not available ... So i actually lost some booking amt and also felt disappointed that i cldnt extend my stay and enjoy the vacation better... Felt a bit let down and hence we checked out early nxt day without even doing some of their activities including a fmly photo shoot... The Nilgiris Express restaurant has a great ambience ... The food was delicious and finger licking good... We had A la Carte for dinner ... The breakfast buffet was good too... The spread ws quite good... Good varieties ... Delicious dishes... Overall, a great place to escape for some relaxing time.... A must stay property ...
