The hotel is ok. The location is inside the main road. Service is good. Hotel was inside a house. Owner's house is in the hotel. No intercom is available. Restaurant is available in Hotel Lighthouse which just in the front of The Hill Side Cottage. The hospitality of the owner was good. He takes care of everything.

The host is very nice and helpful person. He gave us the best plan to enjoy the beauty of Ooty. Its more like a home stay though you can get hot water all the time. View from this property has been limited by other properties. They don't have enough parking space. The approach road to this hotel is terrible. They don't have a restaurant.

It was really a very pleasant stay at The Hill Side with family. The rooms are very neat and kept properly. Don't expect the facilities like 3* hotel but a guest house like your home. The best part is the owner of the property who himself take care of guests and addresses all their requests promptly so Kudos to him for such initiative. As the property doesn't have its own kitchen so a newly opened restaurant opposite to the property is the option to bunch although tea & coffee is not an issue. So people looking for simple stay with good rooms are highly recommended to go for it.

First things first. Ooty is a highly commercialised place, the most expensive in South India. So considering that, the room charges here were value for money. The property is a three-storey building atop a hill. But no great views from the rooms, just decent. When we arrived, the owner received us well and led us to the rooms. The room service boys were off duty that day. The rooms were generously-sized, squeaky clean and had all the basic amenities. The bathrooms too were sparkling bright. Str ...more

    It was a weekend trip with my wife. We reached here early in the morning and owner arranged early check in for us. He helped us to book cab for sightseeing at reasonable price. Caretaker Raj was very helpful. Room was neat and clean. Only one problem was - there was no nearby restaurant but you can easily order food online from Swiggy and Zomato. Overall it was a great stay with 'The Hill Side' Cottage. Highly recommended for family and couple. Room and bathroom were neat and clean.
