Testimonials: Wallwood Gardens - Coonoor

"Old is gold,… just two minutes away from Sim’s park, one of India’s finest Botanical Gardens (laid out in 1874 with over 1200 species of plants). The sun lounge overlooks one of the best-maintained pomological gardens in India.”

“Lovely old colonial building with plenty of character and beautiful gardens. Extremely  pleasant and helpful staff-as well as excellent food. Only stayed a short time but would come back- and recommend the hotel highly. We shall return another time. All the best.”

“Our third stay at a Neemrana property – this one has all the charm of the other properties, but with the added warmth of great personal touch by Geetha. The Tamil Rooms are good, food is excellent (Idlis at breakfast are fantastic) and the weather was awesome. Had a wonderful stay.”

“The keyword to our stay at Neemrana was “homely”….. a home away from home….. not perfect, but warm & comfortable. All the staff were courteous & very pleasant. Our room ‘Eucalyptus’ felt like a beautiful extension  of the outdoors. Waking up to the greenery with a hint of mist coming in was so refreshing .Great energy in the room. Would definitely consider coming back.”

An afternoon to cherish
I went here for a lunch, just to checkout Manjit Bawa's Sketches on the wall.... The staff prepared a lunch, tasty and spicy. I found the place to be cozy and inviting and I will certainly look forward to stay with them. As I was walking out I noticed that the garden at the side was swathed in warm golden sunlight and green cast iron furniture seemed to invite me to soak the warm sun and the ambience. After spending more than an hour soaking in the sun and the ambience, we were served some lemon tea and some cookies by the chatty, warm and friendly Robin....a perfect way to call it an Afternoon!

Best Boutique Home Stay
Best Holiday Rental in my whole trip. Extremely comfortable bed, spacious and well lit. We stayed in main building. Very good food, pre-order is recommended. One must book the bonfire, the calmness is best to experience along with slow pace of the city. Just perfect stay in the perfect city of Coonoor.

Amazing experience
We had an amazing experience. We were well taken care of and every small details was well attended. Few things i felt could improve was the breakfast buffet, the paintings on the walls and the dine-in menu. It felt truly homely our 3 nights there. Thanks Geetha, Robin and the whole team.

The colonial bungalow
Fell in love with the colonial beauty of this bungalow. The staff - Geetha, Lawrence and Robin were more of family than staff. Accommodative of all our needs. When a place feels like home more than a hotel you know there is something right.
Returning soon. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

Great location for workations
Spent 8 days here with both work teams and friends. Excellent staff, good food and good internet! A big shout out to Geetha and her team at the hotel. Keep up the good work. The location of the hotel makes it easily accessible and the historical look at the feel of the property along with the eclectic art gives it an old-world charm that is endearing.

One of my best hospitality experiences ever!
We went with our elderly parents and a 2yr old toddler and we're definitely a little nervous given the times we live in. All safety protocols were followed to the T. It's a lovely property looking over a beautiful tea estate. The place is run by Geetha who is an absolute rock star. She makes sure she and her staff cater to your every need. One of the staff members attending to us was Robin, who was just brilliant. Never did they ever say 'No' to us for any of our requirements. The food at the property was soooo good. It was like home cooked food and very reasonably priced. They have a nice variety in terms of cuisine on offer. All in a great experience that we'll never forget. Whenever we go back to Coonoor, this is where we'll be staying. All in all, this it was like a home away from home. Kudos.

Charming and well located
We spent two days at this hotel. Nice historics house. Rooms are spacious and clean. Bathroom is also renovated with good water pressure and hot water. Nice garden in the back.Very well located in a quiet area but near Sims park and upper Coonoors.
Food was good, not excellent. Breakfast would need improvement. Very limited choice.
Personnel was extremely helpful and nice. I would love to go back.
