My stay at Sterling Fern Hill Ooty was truly remarkable, with superb hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere. The views from my room were beautiful, and the service was outstanding, especially from Subrata and Jaya, who made my experience exceptionally smooth. However, the breakfast options could use improvement since they tended to be repetitive and not as fresh. Overall, it was like a home away from home, but the dining experience needs some attention to reach the same level as the service.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. While the location offered wonderful views of the valley, the experience was marred by extremely slow service and some disappointing dining options. Housekeeping was understaffed, which led to long wait times, and the food quality was below what I've come to expect. While breakfast was a highlight, the overall value for money felt lacking, especially for the price.
