    A cozy and a memorable getaw

    mohammed a.solo

    Had a fantastic 2-day stay at Zostel Ooty. The staff were super professional and made sure everything was taken care of. The rooms had clean beds and toilets, which was a big plus. The view from the property was simply amazing. The food was delicious with a wide variety of options, although the prices were a bit on the higher side. But the cherry on top was the bonfire night organized by the team, complete with great music that made our stay truly unforgettable. Highly recommend Zostel Ooty for a cozy and memorable getaway.

    Had an amazing stay at Zostel Ooty! The vibes were chill, and the staff was super friendly. Loved the cozy dorms and the stunning views of the Nilgiris. We had a bonfire night with some impromptu music, and it was pure magic. The in-house cafe served some great coffee and food. Highly recommend for a budget-friendly stay with a social atmosphere. Can't wait to come back! 😊

    Charming heritage stay with great vibes and delicious food!

    chintan s.couple

    Zostel Ooty is set in a beautiful colonial-era building that’s over 100 years old, which adds so much character to the entire stay. The location is peaceful with stunning hillside views, yet close enough to the town for quick trips. The rooms were cozy, clean, and full of vintage charm. The common areas were warm and inviting—perfect for socializing or just relaxing. The food was absolutely yum and savoury, and the bonfire nights made the experience even more special. The staff were friendly and always ready to help. Overall, a unique and memorable stay that blends heritage with comfort.

    The rooms were clean , but some of the dormitories did not have washrooms attached. There’s a born fire which really helped all of us to connect with other people. And the food is quite good.

    anjali p.family

    In the 6 seater stay it's very congested, washrooms aren't attached so you will have to go to common washroom. on the way to washroom if it's rainy season then you'll get wet because it's not properly shaded, plus there is not proper arrangements for cold weather , rooms are suffocating

    property is good and staff is also very supportive and understanding. there were very little things to do and bunk beds could be more improved by providing curtains for privacy.
