Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms, but there were some hygiene issues during check-in. The service staff are friendly and attentive to guests' needs, even though there were delays in service. The location is excellent, with beautiful waterfall views and pleasant gardens on the property. The dining experience provides a wide variety of delicious dishes, especially in the morning buffet. Overall, a mixed experience with some room for improvement.
My stay at Hotel Kodai International was pleasant overall. The rooms were neat, although a bit cramped for the price paid, and had a nice big balcony. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure a memorable trip. The location, though needing some improvement, was still enjoyable, especially with the beautiful view of the falls from the hotel garden. The dining experience was a mix of good and not-so-great offerings. Facilities were satisfactory, offering the essential amenities needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel provides clean and pleasant rooms despite being a bit smaller in size, although some may find the pricing a bit high. The location within a large fruit plantation offers a safe and comfortable setting, ideal for families. The dining experience is good, especially the morning buffet, though there could be more options. Overall, a decent value for money stay with great service and location.
The hotel's rooms were neat but not so spacious for the tariff; however, considering other positive aspects, I was satisfied overall. The service was customer-oriented, with a slight delay in room allotment. The location, with gardens and a view of the falls, was excellent. The dining experience had good breakfast but could improve on options.
The 'Kodai Resort' offered a pleasant stay overall with very cooperative staff. However, the rooms tended to get a bit hot at night. The location was safe and comfortable, especially for families and girls, with activities organized nearby, although some external noise could disturb peace.
