My family and I have been coming to this hotel for more than 20 years and everytime the service is excellent. The organisation of the restaurant and the club is so good and all the units of the hotel is very well coordinated. Mr. Anand has been in this hotel for as long as I know and still provides his best of service. The evening "Game of Housie" he conducts every evening just gathers the crowd to a pleasant and wholesome time. I would highly recomend this place if you want to wind back and relax.

It was an amazing experience, I stop for relaxation from the south of India, and it was a real magic. The place is so beautiful, the views… And the most important the crew was so nice, smiling all the time. Taking care of you, want to make sure you have everything. Simran was wonderful from the beginning to the end. Chef and kitchen made my meals just perfect, I didn’t miss a thing. Enjoy the vacation.

We had a fantastic stay at The Carlton. Everything was just perfect. We had booked a Super Deluxe Room which had a big verandah facing the lake and the adjacent greenery and hills. As regards the service, it was just top notch! Each and every staff member was so polite, helpful and kind. Had a lovely experience with every staff member from reception, to housekeeping to everyone at the dining hall. It was a memorable stay and would highly recommend it to everyone.
