I booked Mayura Sudarshan, Ooty (27–30 Nov) expecting the beautiful garden view and peaceful ambiance shown on MMT.But upon arrival, I was shocked to learn that my booking had been shifted to a completely different property — Mayura Royal Heritage — without my consent. Later, I discovered that the room categories shown on MMT under Sudarshan (like Heritage Room, Heritage Wooden Cottage, Dome Room, etc.) do not exist at all in that property. Sudarshan actually has only Wooden House, Suites, AC/Non-AC Standard Rooms, and Premium Rooms, all facing the garden. This makes the current MMT listing misleading and inaccurate. Because of this, I ended up staying in a boarding-area location with no garden view, which defeated the entire purpose of my trip. Additionally, services like breakfast were inconsistent — no buffet on 28th when only two couples were staying, but a full buffet on 29th & 30th when more guests arrived. Overall, the experience felt misleading, disappointing, and frustrating. --- ⚠️ IMPORTANT ALERT FOR FUTURE TRAVELERS If you have already booked Mayura Sudarshan or are planning to book, please read carefully: If you booked any “Heritage Room” under Mayura Sudarshan — that room is NOT in Sudarshan. If you are expecting a garden view, but booked a Heritage category listed under Sudarshan — you will not get it. You may end up being shifted to Mayura Royal Heritage, which has no garden view and is in a completely different location. This can lead to disappointment, frustration, and a feeling of being cheated. 👉 Please check the room category and location carefully before booking. Only the actual Sudarshan room categories (Wooden House, Suite, AC/Non-AC Standard, Premium) are in the garden-view property. --- I hope this review helps future travelers avoid the experience I went through.

We had a pleasant stay at KSTDC's Hotel Mayura Sudarshan in Ooty this May. It is a heritage property over 150 years old, located about 3 kms away from the main town. The rooms, while not plush, were spacious and clean and had a vintage feel to it. The bathroom was large and clean with hot water available throughout the day. There is a restaurant attached and though the menu was very limited, the quality of food was fairly good. The biggest reason to stay on this property is the well maintained Karnataka Horticulture garden that is spread over 50 acres and attached to it. One could spend a few hours just exploring this beautiful garden. The staff were very attentive and super helpful, especially Ashwini at the reception. Would certainly like to visit Mayura Sudarshan again.

"Mesmerizing views, delectable food, and exceptionally cooperative staff made our stay unforgettable! The hotel's ambiance and service exceeded expectations, making it a truly remarkable experience for all guests."

Stay was good, clean, check-in was on time, KSTDC garden is wonderful much much better than Botanical garden. Food was good only thing if they can extend the food timings little more for breakfast, lunch n for dinner timings would be good.

Very Romantic and peaceful place ♥️👌🏻 Staff good and Helpful .. Room is very clean and comfortable ... hotel destination is very nice cause very calm and comfortable
