Hotels near One Tree Hill Point, Matheran

There are some stays that linger with you for much after you've been there, some for good reasons and some for the bad. This one falls in the latter. It's been over 10 days since we visited Lord's Central and I can tell you we still can't get over the horrific stay we had there and are still reeling from the shock of what we experienced. It's the first time in my life that on a 2 night stay we were praying when the holiday would end and we could get back to the comforts of our home. The big problem there is with the rooms. These people charge today's rates for a room that was probably made in the 80's and is still that way, not upgraded, not improved and no effort made to provide comfort to the customers who put faith in them and come to spend a vacation there after paying a premium for this crappy place. The rooms are in a pathetic and deplorable state, which made us feel cheated and angry. They have no respect or value their customer's comfort is clear from the following. 1. The bedding is so uncomfortable with rough bedsheets and pillow covers that you will never get a sound sleep. We kept waking up in the middle of the night several times bcoz the hard and rough pillow covers and bedsheets rubbing against our faces and bodies kept poking us throughout the night. They don't want to spend money to put soft, comfortable bedding and expect us to bear this torture through the night, hence we were unable to sleep for 2 nights. 2. The blankets were foul smelling and rough and hence we just junked them completely and did not land up using them. They haven't bothered to change it for God knows how long. 3. The old sofas provided to sit and watch tv were infested with bed bugs and unusable. The old and jaded dirty sofa covers were very bad to even look at and it was disappointing to have this bad piece of furniture and not a clean comfortable one. We were of course not able to use it during our entire stay. 4. The wardrobes are broken and unpolished and drawers in a bad shape. It's sad to see the old rotten furniture in such deplorable conditions being provided to customers. There is a difference between vintage and junk. You can't sell junk in the name of heritage. It was just horrific. 5. They have one vintage Videocon ac which only throws air and hardly any cooling. Without a fan you can't stay in the room as the old ac is not enough to cool the room and this in spite of telling their Mumbai booking office that a good ac room was essential as it was hot in Matheran. 6. When you have an enclosed sitting area outside the room for the view, you ought to provide some cooling relief to be able to sit there. The vintage ac which was not enough to cool the room itself could not provide any relief there and a fan is imperative bcoz if you open the main door to the outside then the monkeys enter. So that was another area we could not utilise fully and so the whole purpose of paying a premium for a valley view room was defeated. 7. Who keeps dri

If you love the rustic old charm of Matheran, you will love Hotel Premdeep. Away from the noisy bustle of the market yet conveniently located for access to all the view points. The food with an all vegetarian spread is to die for..total value for money... Do go with family and Enjoy....

150 yr old bungalow built by british amid-st dense forest with a beautiful verandah. Placed strategically, close to the lake and view points. Unlike other hotels, it reserves the feel of a real forest bungalow - no swimming pool, party scene. Food is good, rooms are huge and clean, washrooms are clean.

The overall experience is quite good. Ac is working ok, hot water for the shower in morning and room is clean. One con point is that there is no reception so you have to call the person every time whatever you need and if somehow electricity is gone then no backup for that. Overall good stay in your budget.

Washroom was not clean plastic bucket was not washed mattress was also dirty can be cleaned no drinking water facility was there it should be there fan was very poor very high voice was coming from fan which was very disturbing mattress was broken and blanket was very old and dirty

For one day stay hotel is ok. Quality of rooms not too bad or not too good. But it's little over rated for cost. Staff is cooperative. Food quality is moderate.
