What guests said.
Shown as written. Some are Google reviews, marked as such.
Location of the property is good. Sunrise view point is good (atleast for photos). Service is prompt and excellent. Buffet breakfast is also good and had multiple options to eat. Staff is very courteous. Negative thing is entire property is tightly packed. And rooms & beds as well as Bathrooms feel smaller. But yes, they are very clean.!
We had an amazing 3-day stay at Mango Hills, Shola, Ooty with our 5-year-old. The property is even more beautiful in real life than in the pictures, surrounded by breathtaking greenery and a peaceful atmosphere. The highlight of our stay was the exceptional hospitality. A special mention to Mr. Biswal, the Restaurant Manager, who went one step ahead every single time to ensure we had a wonderful dining experience. The food was delicious throughout our stay, and compliments to the talented bakery chef for the incredible baked treats! A perfect place for a relaxing family vacation. Highly recommended, and we would love to visit again!
Here’s a polished English review message for Mango Hill Shola Ooty: We had a wonderful stay at Mango Hill Shola Ooty. The property, its location, and the overall service were truly excellent. A special thanks to the food in-charge, Mr. BISWAL AND HIS TEAM, who was extremely helpful and supportive throughout our stay. He especially took great care of our children by arranging fresh chapatis and ensuring our food requirements were properly managed. We are also very happy with the Jain food service provided at the property. Everything was prepared with care, and we did not face any issues at all. The hospitality and personal attention from the team made our stay even more comfortable and memorable. Thank you once again for the amazing experience.
We had a wonderful 2-night stay at Mango Hill Shola, Ooty. The property is very scenic, peaceful, and well-maintained, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The rooms and washrooms were neat, tidy, and clean throughout our stay. The Wi-Fi connectivity was also good, which was helpful when needed. The food was delicious, and both room service and housekeeping requests were attended to promptly. Every item we requested was delivered on time, and the overall service was efficient and professional. A special mention to the housekeeping team, especially Kowsalya and Ashok, for their excellent support and attention to detail. The reception staff were also courteous, helpful, and efficient in handling our requests. Overall, it was a comfortable and pleasant stay, and we would be happy to visit again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful stay in Ooty with great hospitality.
We had an excellent experience at Mango hill stay. The stay was quite awesome. The rooms were clean and service was very good. Overall good experience and value for money. Need to mention Sudharshan and Syed service for extra special care and hospitality. We stayed with twin babies and we have been provided baby food whenever we required.
It’s an excellent new hotel and well maintained property. Courteous staff and immaculate house keeping. Food at Buffet breakfast and dinner is quite extensive and tasty. I wish the property were renting scooters to go to city and sight seeing. Auto or cab is the only mode of transportation. Majority of the residents have their own car.I also recommend the management to start working on activity for hotel guests with corresponding transportation.
