A spotlessly clean hotel with excellent food in the restaurant, just a stone’s throw from the national park, and with staff who are always on hand to help and provide us with some very interesting sightseeing.

Lovely hotel with excellent staff
Pros:

Fantastic location right near the national park and very close to the shuttle bus and starting point for other activities. Restaurants and shops all close by. The staff were really helpful and answered many of our questions about the activities we'd booked in Periyar NP, they even saved breakfast for us when we were late back after our morning nature walk without us even asking them to. Our room was very spacious and had a lovely balcony area on top. The setting of the hotel is very scenic and despite being on a busy road it is quiet and tranquil.

Cons:

A bit warm at night due to no air conditioning.

Parfait hôtel pour un séjour à Thekkady.
Pros:

Personnel professionnel, attentif et donnant de très bons conseils. La localisation de l'hôtel était parfaite en étant proche de l'entrée du parc du Periyar. La chambre était propre et spacieuse. La nourriture servie était simple mais bonne, cela répondait parfaitement à nos attentes après une journée dans le parc. Rapport qualité / prix excellent. Nous recommandons grandement cet hôtel à Thekkady!

Cons:

מקום נחמד ובסיסי בעיירה
Pros:

מקום נחמד ובסיסי בקצה העיירה, הרבה חנויות ומסעדות קרובות, קרוב מאד ל-tourist information. הצוות מצויין ומאד שירותי.
החדר היה בסיסי אך מרווח עם מרפסת נחמדה בקומה השנייה.

Cons:

הכל היה בסדר גמור, לא מעבר.

Just Perfect.
Pros:

One of the best hotels I have stayed. The hotel is not luxurious but vintage. Very well maintained and great attention to details. The breakfast was great. Highlight were the staff and the service they offered. The moment we entered they guided us with maps. I didn’t know about anything about Periyar Tiger reserve but after talking to them my day was sorted.

Cons:

Limited items in the cafe menu

A cosy jungle retreat
Pros:

The Wildernest is a cosy small-scale hotel conveniently located right at the border of Periyar National Park. The staff here is so helpful and kind, rooms are huge and clean, and the restaurant offers delicious dishes with a beautiful view on the courtyard. Overall it's a 10/10, our stay there was perfect and i would have enjoyed a longer stay. Until next time!

Great staff in a quiet but close ( 10 mins ) to everything above
Pros:

Great little place close to the bamboo walk & the national park, get a buggy to take you round to the lake where you can book more trips. Nice town to walk round too, where you can pick up local spices & fab Kashmir scarfs for good prices & Monkeys & bird life all round

Cons:

Nothing

Very conveniently located to experience activities for National park.
Pros:

Quaint and spacious, staff were very hospitable.

Cons:

I wish the cafe had a few more local delicacies on the menu. We had breakfast and lunch from the cafe, and went to a restaurant nearby to experience local cuisine.
