I had a wonderful two-day stay at New Carnival Hotel in Naidupuram, Kodaikanal. From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed and well looked after. The hotel is conveniently situated with easy access and plenty of parking. The property is well-maintained, showing the care and attention of Mr. Murali Dass. Mr. Murali deserves special recognition for his kindness, humility, and sincere hospitality that truly distinguishes this hotel. He is soft-spoken, attentive, and personally ensures every guest is comfortable, especially with the dining experience. His passion for hospitality shines through every detail. The food is excellent—fresh, homely, and full of authentic flavors, served in a cozy 40-seat restaurant with a very polite and attentive staff, making each meal enjoyable. The rooms, spread over three floors, are spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged. The views from the rooms are stunning. Notably, there are three beautifully decorated rooms for newlyweds, providing a romantic and tranquil setting. The top-floor rooms offer breathtaking views of the hills on one side and majestic eucalyptus trees on the other, creating a peaceful and refreshing environment. The ever-changing mountain weather adds a magical element, making every moment special and memorable. During my stay, I met several other guests who shared similarly positive experiences regarding the hospitality, comfort, and service. If you want to enjoy Kodaikanal's natural beauty along with warm hospitality, delicious home-style meals, and a peaceful stay, I highly recommend New Carnival Hotel. My sincere thanks to Mr. Murali and the entire team for making my visit so comfortable and memorable. I look forward to returning. This is a must-visit spot for nature lovers, food fans, and anyone seeking genuine hospitality.

Staying at this amazing property was an unforgettable experience. The hospitality, food, and the staff's excellent attitude truly went beyond what I expected. Mr. Muralidoss, the owner and manager, is very involved in his work and treats his team with respect and kindness. His humble personality and selfless service deserve special recognition. I look forward to visiting again and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to enjoy their time in Kodaikanal.

Outstanding service

During the last week of June 2026, my family (wife and two kids) and I stayed at New Carnival in Kodaikanal, about 2km from Kodaikanal Lake. I would give our stay an 8.5 out of 10. We reserved a Terrace Room for 2 days at over 3.5K per day, which had a queen bed and a single bed. The room was great, and the heater worked well. The best part was the beautiful view of the mountains and pine trees visible right from the terrace. The hotel also offers parking for about 10-15 cars, which was very convenient. Our booking included complimentary breakfast, which was excellent and tasty. However, the dinner we ordered separately did not live up to our expectations and was somewhat disappointing. Overall, aside from the dinner, I highly recommend this place for families!
