The place was OK and staff was friendly. My only concern was around the security. The rooms at the back row had large sliding windows and accessible easily from the mud walls. There was no light there and not visible to the security staff.
Room: I booked a premium room with balcony for 2520, the room was ok. Washroom and room were clean. There's very low natural light in the room. I had to switch on light at day time also. Service: Service and hospitality of the hotel is pathetic. At the reception the guy was so cold, it seems he didn't want to see us there. No assistance for baggage. They don't have hand towels and the bath towel they provided was very dirty. I've attached the photos. The thin blanket they provided had hole in it. EVEN IRCTC PROVIDE BETTER BEDDING THAN THEM. Parking: Enough space Restaurant: Arabian Grill restaurant is there at the ground floor. As a vegetarian I couldn't find any option, but they have plenty options for non veg. The beverages are good though. For breakfast also they have only Dosa for vegetarians. If you're ordering something as room service, you have to make payment at time of receiving order instead of check out. Overall: If you REALLY want a hotel near Idukki dam, you can come here and book the basic room for 1000rs. Don't keep any other expectations. I suggest to totally avoid this place.
I visit the restaurent in this hotel atleast thrice a month. The cuisines offered are chinese, native, arabic etc. The food is delicious and the serving is much appreciable. Must visit restaurnt in cheruthoni
It was an excellent experience we ever had in our travel. It was such a gorgeous stay. The igloo has warm and grateful service from the staff. They were very welcoming & very much concerned about guest and it helped us to enjoy a warm and beautiful stay over there. The rooms are well maintained and available in reasonable prices. A warm and vibrant restaurant provides tasty food with very affordable prices We enjoyed a lot, one of the best place we ever met.
We called directly and booked their budget double room. The room was small but clean especially the wash room. Would recommend calling them and booking directly as the rates online are higher. They have enough parking space and also a good restaurant.
It looks good and beautifully constructed especially you have and awesome illuminated view during night. I have not been to the rooms but only to the restaurant twice. Its clean and new but you cant expect a class restaurant. Its just a normal restaurant just meant for the normal regular customers. The service is just normal and what would i say it has the ambiance but exactly same with every other normal simple restaurant we see in kerala at the roadsides of every small town.
A nice place to stay in Idukki at Cheruthoni. Rooms available suiting any class of guests. Daily house keeping is superb. Personal attention by the top management is commentable.
Wonderful stay i ever had at a reasonable rate, I I spend in buddy rooms with my friends where they have a buddy room which can hold a group of friends and even a large family can be holded in that room. Overall a great experience
Rooms are perfectly ok with space, but the mattress are really hard and annoying. The door locks are messy sometimes. Need to fix with upgraded or classy door locks and mattresses.
A great stop before you reach the crowded cheruthoni town if you are planning for a dam top visit.
This is on the neriamangalam painavu road and a half a km before reaching cheruthoni town
I will recomend to go an extra distance to use its facilities even if you are come from kattappana or othet directions to make your family feel comfortable before the dam visit or sight seeing
There is a department store nearby to replenish your inventory of food and beverages.
Especially if you are travelling with family. Use this spot for a coffee or lunch stop.and wasroom break before you go to the dam.
Rooms here are of good quality with a good range of prices.
They have a buddy room to take 8 pax. Decent quality beds not a dormitory bunker bed. Very good quality. Down side is this room has only one washroom.
Also two large bedded room to take 4 pax.
And then Single and double rooms also
Surprised and happy to see this quality in an otherwise shy town where accomodation is never even thought of.
Decent accomodations upgrades a day time visit town to stay destinations.
The adjoining restaurant has good menu and variety to make each person in the family happy.
Decent parking space. Well kept washrooms. (less in number so a bus load will be too much. Plan a queue)
It was an outstanding experience I ever had in my life. It was such a gorgeous stay along with the team igloo. From the very moment I reached there I experienced the warm and grateful service from the staff. They were very welcoming & very much concerned about my comfort and it helped me to enjoy a warm and beautiful stay over there. The rooms are well maintained and available in reasonable prices. A warm and vibrant restaurant provides tasty food. I enjoyed a lot, one of the best place I ever met.
Well, the name of this hotel is deceiving, it is not a resort and there is no heritage element I can see over there. It's an average hotel with a decent restaurant. I got the booking through makemytrip and booked a non-ac room for 1300/-rs.
Since its monsoon season I thought of booking a non-AC room which was wrong decision in Igloo. If you close the window, then there is no air circulation and if you open the window then all the kitchen smell will enter your room. I lost my sleep, my bad I could have booked an AC room.
Things I didn't like are they didn't provide a bath towel for me and while checking receptionist he said the towels are not dry which is an unacceptable statement. Also, the bed sheet and pillow cover have got stains on them which looks nasty. The service boys stays there until you pay them tip even if you are not interested.
So, Igloo is for you if you are looking for a budget stay and don't expect much on facilities. The location is excellent if you are visiting Idukki Dam and nearby places.
Edit: I just got a call from Igloo and they agreed to correct the flaws which occurred during my stay. Hope you guys will keep your word. Though I put three stars I will stay in Igloo once again to experience the difference they committed. Thank you for the prompt response Igloo
Ambience stay with a very affordable rate, where they got a restaurant with ambience and tasty food, the behavior of staff is most welcoming, they are stick to our needs and so caring, this is most suggested resort from my part.
A group of friends can take buddy room which will be so fun with our buddies. The restaurant which is located in the ground floor is so good and affordable.
It is a neat and clean, well maintained hotel. Service was great. The food at the restaurant was affordable and tasty. We took a suite room which had a bathtub as well. There is room service and an elevator as well. The location is ideal, right in the heart of Cheruthoni town. The tariff is reasonable.
