Berry Hills Resort

Great staff, amazing views, tricky location

Leora Mincer

The Berry Hills Resort has great staff and views, and is not too far from the main part of the Ooty town. The main downside of the Berry Hills Resort is that it's in a bit of an inconvenient location - down a small, rocky, unpaved road. The Berry Hills Resort was very good about providing a jeep for transport when we needed, but it was more of a hassle than if you could go directly to the Berry Hills Resort. The views from the room's balcony were absolutely stunning. The room was very clean and comfortable - though we were three people in the room and it would have been nice if they could have provided an extra cot for us. There was an attached restaurant that offered room service, though we never used it. We went to the restaurant for breakfast one morning and it felt a bit disorganized and understaffed. That was one of the few downsides. Otherwise, a Berry Hills Resort in a lovely location, with very helpful staff and amazing views.

Amazing view

Pooja Yadav

We had booked a Superior room in Berry Hills, in the month of May 2017. Once we reached there, we did not want to go out. Every room had a big balcony and the view was just amazing, one gets to see the whole city of Ooty, and the mountains beyond it, specially from the front facing rooms. It looked magical at night. The room and washroom were also good. Hotel staff and service was nice. Food was also good. It lies very close to the Tea factory. Other tourist attractions like Dodabetta peak and the city are also not too far. The only drawback was the access road which was in a bad shape, but they provide their vehicle for pick-up and drop to nearby landmarks. Overall we had an excellent stay at Berry Hills and would love to go there again.

Not recommended for stay

Mahuya Chatterjee

We went with a lot of expectations after reading all the previous reviews about this Berry Hills Resort. However, we did not find this Berry Hills Resort as a good place to stay in Ooty. The approach road is horrible. You cannot take your vehicle. Though they provide transportation from the nearest tea garden but the road is horrible. Secondly, once you are in the Berry Hills Resort, you cannot go out. So, we were rather compelled to have dinner in the Berry Hills Resort. The food is below average. The bed sheet was torn. They did not change it even after requesting. There was no soap. We had to ask the front desk to provide soap. There were many other issues, which cannot be covered in 250 characters. Overall not a good experience.

Good location but poor service

Ashok Metagudda

I stayed in this Berry Hills Resort on 11th June and took risk to book even after Reading lot of reviews because of location. Below are pros and cons: Pros: 1. Good location and nice view of Ooty city. 2. Free pick and drop facility to tea factory. Cons: 1. PATHETIC road condition. I thought I can somehow manage to reach this place because of location, but felt guilty for booking it even after Reading reviews about this place. If you have no other choice, then you may want to consider the option of dropping your vehicle at tea factory and taking their pick up facility. 2. Though people are very polite but very poor service. Asked for water and got it delivered after reminding 4 times.

Good view; pick up/drop facility available

Shanmugam Ramanathan

On the positive side, they have very good view points (only Superior rooms), good Bolero vehicle pick up/drop service (since the approach to the resort is bad), rooms were neat and clean and courteous staff. On the negative side, pathetic restaurant and related services (delayed food delivery, restaurant staff reluctant to take room service requests, no one picking up calls to restaurant, very average breakfast, no drinking water filling, etc). Not well equipped for handling additional guests, extra beds are laid on the floor that was not taking up the Ooty cold.

Room is Excellent, but Location is Risky

Sravani Pagidela

Room is excellent and really worthy for the money. Food, service, maintenance all are good, but location of the Berry Hills Resort is risky in night times because of bad roads, no street lights etc and the Berry Hills Resort is bit far from Ooty bus stand, railway station and transportation to the Berry Hills Resort is risky as Berry Hills Resort management is providing transportation only from doddabetta tea factory only, they need to provide transportation at night times from either Ooty bus stand or railway station.

Good one although still to improve on ways to get to the resort.

Gaurav Bhaskar

I liked the stay and arrangements they had made for us even though we happened to reach early than their check in time. The rooms are very clean and beautifully located. Room service is very good and prompt. The availability of the service folks are timely and worth full. Gardens very neatly maintained. Best suited for family with a long & leisurely weekends. Unfortunate to get a room which was not facing the scenic hill but the restaurant. Would advise guys to avoid choosing room no.307 and 306 which wont have a view.

Room maintenance needs attention

Vamshi Krishna Ghanapathi

The Berry Hills Resort is built at a vantage point. Mornings with the sight of the clouds passing were bliss. Local Tours in a good cab were good. Staff were polite and made the trip better. On the con side: Room maintenance needs attention. Heaters would add to the pleasure as nights are too cold not enough for a blanket. Location should be better described as the place close to the road of Doddabetta Peak. You have to leave your car and travel in their jeep as the road is treacherous. Overall, the stay is pleasant.

Decent rooms & good for family

Mohammed Ariff

The room was decent, restaurant food is good and economical along with buffet breakfast. Management service is highlight of this place, kind, helpful and caring. Good Berry Hills Resort for family. However room pricing is expensive for location of the Berry Hills Resort where for additional bed they charged Rs. 2000/- which is 85% of the actual cost of the room. Due to poor road you can never reach directly to the Berry Hills Resort but they pick you from Tea Factory. Hotel is not posh when compared to rooms.

Staff friendly and helpful

Sharmila Chakravarty

Pros: The view from the Berry Hills Resort is its best asset. The Berry Hills Resort is a bit away from the noisy streets. Lots of birds. Rooms are clean, good with 24 hr hot water. Staff friendly and helpful. Cons: But in some rooms fittings are broken, shower doesn't work. Access road is not paved and not in good condition. But the Berry Hills Resort provides a free jeep service to the main road. Bit difficult to find as there are no signs from the main road or entrance.

Fantastic. No words to express

Nitish Krishna

The resort is located at a fantastic location with a panoramic view of Ooty from the rooms. we had a great relaxing vacation here. The staff are very friendly and the food is awesome. The approach road is a bit bad and hope will be fixed soon. Highly recommended for those who want to relax in a soothing surroundings of the beautiful peaks around complimented by chirping and tweeting sounds of different varieties of birds. Look forward to get there again soon!

Very nice and pleasant stay

Aravind R

Apart from the place being bit difficult to reach even though it is 20 mins away from bus stand the stay was quite good. I checked in early and had breakfast which was not part of my itinerary from there. During final settlement they did not charge me for that even though it was changeable. Staff service and co operation was good. Only thing is that if you want want a better in room view please choose superior room or else deluxe room is just fine.

Good Stay

Pavan Kumar Bandaru

Food is good. Service is good. Nice stay except roadway to a Berry Hills Resort. Please do not drive if you have a personal vehicle.

Great stay and located near to tourist places

Surabhi Hegde

It was a great stay at Ooty. Good location except the road from tea factory. Very delicious food, service, view from our superior room (room no. 305). Had a great stay. Lots of places to visit nearby to the resort they are Botanical Garden, Ooty Lake. Experienced climbing the hill stop from the city to reach the resort, too much adventurous. Hope to visit again to Ooty. Had a great time.

Berry Hills

Amit Shah

Scenic view from Superior room, very good jain food and well maintained garden and landscape. Enjoyed thoroughly with family and friends. Only one point to improve is approach road to Berry Hills Resort which is very bad and can be travelled only through Berry Hills Resort vehicle

Good

P Arunkumar

Road access is bad from main road to Berry Hill resort. Service is slow. Toilet flush was not working, after complaint repaired it. Hot water problem some time, morning time no problem for hot water. Garden maintained by Berry Hills Resort is very good.

Govindanagarajan kannaiyan

Good Stay

Abhijit Mandal

It is a nice place to stay and enjoy, on the hill top with picturesque beauty of stone house it really impress one with its own beauty that is OOTY is known all about. A great place to relax and enjoy the weather. Particularly in the evening it was wonderful.

Poor road but good service

Jaganathan nachimuthu

Road is very poor. Hotel, location, restaurant, service is also good. Rooms and toilet all are very clean so, I like this and also nearby Doddapet. Garden, tea Museum all are very near only we reach Berry Hills Resort. Hotel pick-up van not use our vehicle.

Great and relaxing holiday

Balu Ramanathan

One of the best places to travel as a couple. Barring the approach Road, everything else is fantastic. Clean rooms, hospitable staff, good food, awesome view. Was worried about the TV connection based on previous reviews but we did not find any issues. A special mention on the adventure activities just above the resort which is definitely worth visiting.

Nice place on the hill side

Raja Malempati

Pleasant place to stay and value for money. Rooms are neat and clean. Nice location to have beautiful scenic view. The only problem is finding the Berry Hills Resort route. When you reach there and call them, they have pick up and drop option. Well maintained. Food you need to order early if you like to have different menu like fish and meat or special menu. When you say in advance they will make it available. Whole heatedly nice place.

Good Stay

Suresh J W

Maintained the same quality in the room.

Berry road way is not good

Dayakrishna Munnangi

Overall good but road to Berry Hills Resort is not at all good need improvement. At night time it is very difficult to reach Berry Hills Resort due road condition. Servicing and food is good. Rice quality used for food need improvement. Fantastic view of Ooty from Berry Hills Resort. Nice stay at Berry Hills Resort.

Overall its was a pleasant stay

Omkar Gopi Krishna P

Location was excellent except for the approach road. Rooms are clean and are well maintained. Courtesy of Berry Hills Resort staff was very good. Food taste good. Overall its was a pleasant stay and good value for what we paid. Couple of improvements, since the Berry Hills Resort has own restaurant, MAP plan can be thought of clubbing with the Berry Hills Resort tariff and good dish connection to be provided for the TV in the room.

Superb location & lovely atmosphere

Sunil Kumar

Fast room service & friendly staff

Madhusudan PG

Good view and surrounding. Except food, everything else was good. Road was little bumpy but that's just for 400m and they provide Bolero for transport. Room service was fast and good. Staff were friendly and polite.
