Chithirapuram Palace

Luxury and comfortable stay. Place is as shown in photos. Highly recommend it! This town is more scenic and less commercial than Munnar, which makes it a better place to enjoy quiet time and great views. It's also within reasonable distance to major tourist spots in and around Munnar. It is located on a semi-paved road, with the road from main gate to reception being very steep. There are people on-site who can help park or drive your car up the steep section to the reception, if needed. There are only stairs and no elevators in this place. If you have someone in your group who cannot climb stairs then specifically request to book the room which is on the ground floor. Manoj and his team take really good care of their guests and property. Kitchen is onsite and the food is delicious. There are not many restaurants within walking distance, so eating at Chithirapuram palace is recommended. Swimming pool is also being constructed and should open before summer 2024.

Let me unravel the chronicle of my misadventure at the Chithirapuram Palace, an escapade that began with a simple WhatsApp booking and ended in a saga more slippery than the very road that led me to this peculiar palace. So, there I was, all hopeful, having booked a room via the modern mystique that is WhatsApp. Little did I know, the journey would unveil itself as an odyssey worthy of an ancient Greek tragedy. Upon reaching the vicinity, the sight of the road caught me in a limbo between incredulity and outright panic. It was steeper than my aunt's gossip and slipperier than a politician dodging questions. This road, draped in green moss like a slippery catwalk for frogs, welcomed me with open arms, and by open arms, I mean it tried to embrace my car into its slimy bosom. The spectacle was not just remote; it was the kind of remote that makes the phrase 'middle of nowhere' sound like a cozy city centre. The whole place had an aura of mystery, like a scene from a horror movie, complete with the soundtrack of my anxious heartbeat. Summoning courage, I ventured to take a peek at the room. Surprisingly, the rooms were more delightful than a surprise discount on shoes. But alas, dear reader, the allure of a comfy room couldn't mask the fact that I was practically in the wilderness, miles away from the bustling charm of Munnar town. It was as if I had booked a room in Narnia, only with fewer talking animals and more eerie silence. As I hesitated at the precipice of indecision, pondering my predicament, the folks at Chithirapuram Palace, in all their remote regality, declared a firm "no" to my refund request. It was like negotiating with the Sphinx, only less enigmatic and more frustrating. The booking fee, it seemed, had embarked on a journey of its own, far from my pockets. In conclusion, if you fancy a remote rendezvous with nature, and by nature, I mean moss-covered roads and the eerie symphony of solitude, Chithirapuram Palace might just be your cup of questionable tea. For me, it was an escapade into the unknown, a comedy of errors, and a lesson in the art of choosing accommodations more wisely. So here's a word to the wise: if you like your roads straight and your refund policies fair, you might want to steer clear of this mossy mystery. Cheers to slippery adventures and lessons learned, even if they come at the price of a non-refundable booking fee!

My experience is very bad Staff is good, location is good but service is very bad every thing have to demand many times 4 to 5 times like milk powder packets , tea bags, sugar packets even toilet paper, towel, sope etc it's very cheap price They are not On AC said climad is very cold, mini freeze also not working have to use common kitchen freez there is no altranat arrangement even have to wait 30 to 45 minutes in between on breakfast table as less staff Diner was prepared 3 to 4 hours back and served with warm in the owen. The taste of food and chapati becomes completely useless. I am not recommended to stay here
