Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Ooty
For most travelers, Coimbatore International Airport (CJB) serves as the primary and most practical gateway to Ooty. Being the nearest airport, it offers the most efficient travel options, including quick private taxis and budget-friendly buses that climb the scenic Mettupalayam ghat. Mysore Airport (MYQ) is another excellent alternative, particularly for those approaching from the north, providing a relatively quick and direct route by cab. Other airports are located in neighboring cities and require longer transit times. Calicut International Airport (CCJ), Cochin International Airport (COK), and Salem Airport (SXV) serve the nearby cities of Calicut, Kochi, and Salem respectively. These airports are better suited for travelers already visiting those specific regions or those finding significant flight fare savings. When planning your trip, consider that mountain roads can significantly impact travel duration; always prioritize pre-booked transfers for late-night or early-morning arrivals to ensure a smooth transition into the Nilgiri hills.

Good- The hospitality and standards of taj were very well maintained. The garden area is beautiful. Breakfast was great!!
Not so good - the 2 bedroom suite had just one bathroom and the suits are in the middle of reception. No privacy in that sense.
The individual rooms are much betterFamily friendly

Food was average
And some of the staffs didn’t pay attention to the room issues like
flash not working in morning ;
requesting to have breakfast during waiting time ( which looked liked a good gesture coz breakfast time was almost over and why to waste food but later asking to pay ( which should had been informed priorly )

Fabulous setting up on a hill about a 20 min walk down to the town(definitely get a rickshaw back). Didn’t realise we could order eggs for breakfast until our second morning (not offered them on the first morning). Cake at breakfast was yummy.
Bathroom hadn’t been cleaned on arrival and there were splatters marks on the wall above the tea/coffee area. We also returned to our room late afternoon to find maintenance working on our balcony - did feel this could have been done after checkout!
Fabulous shower.
We ate in the restaurant one night and the food was very good. The high taxes in Tamil Nadu added to the price (almost 25%) so bear this in mind . Cocktails weee excellent.
We did the morning ’hike’ which was well worth getting up for.
We were brought a hot water bottle on our second night which was a lovely surprise.
Tea & biscuits served between 5 & 5.30pm which was a nice touch although more of the breakfast cake would have been good.
Would recommend staying here as rooms, location & restaurant are excellent.FromUS$53

Don't expect the place to be like in photos. If you like to stay in an actual palace where a lot of movies were shot(if you know the movie references) the stay will be more enjoyable. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. You can walk around and enjoy, they have a ground and viewpoint. Don't expect other amenities like in the resort. Food is not that great and it is expensive. I stayed with my parents and kids. Enjoyed the stay. They have luggage service unlike what some other reviews have mentioned, but the radiator was not working in the room. The value lies in heritage and the movie references. Not crowded and noisy.FromUS$110
