This place is about a 15 min drive from the town of Munaar and you can't walk to anywhere from it because it is located down a very steep dirt road that goes down the mountain. They send jeeps up to meet guests at the main road because normal cars have trouble getting up and down the road. Since the town of Munnar is noisy, crowded and hideous (filled with ugly cement block buildings and hundreds of unattractive commercial signs), it is fine staying outside of the town. Good points about the hotel: It is affordable and the staff are very nice and eager to please. Negative points: No AC in rooms and the rooms are very humid and musty smelling. There are fans, but the mildew smell is quite strong. They should wash the bathroom walls and shower regularly with bleach to kill the mildew. The walls between rooms are very thin, so you can hear EVERYTHING in the rooms on either side. I wanted to go to sleep early but the people next door were talking all night outside on the patio in front of their room (and next to mine). Someone in another bungaloo was playing loud music, which is not what you want to hear when you are trying to get away and have a jungle experience. A couple of the staff speak English but most of them do not, so communicating can be difficult. The food was mediocre - the omelettes were very very salty, the toast cold and hard. If you WANT A BUDGET HOTEL, THIS IS A GOOD PLACE TO STAY FOR A NIGHT, but I wouldn't spend more time there, as it really isn't a "resort."
