Family-friendly Hotels in Udupi

We loved our stay at Jyoti Residency. Will definitely recommend anyone going there to stay there. Spacious clean rooms and close to the temple. Very few hotels out there who can provide the services like them. We were lucky to get 2 rooms there as someone had cancelled by the time we got in to their hotel around 9.30pm. Scouted a dozen hotels in and around the area but did not find any clean and tidy for a family of 4 to stay. Out of desperation, would have ended up taking some lodge hadn't I tried my luck at Jyoti Residency. Always suggest everyone to book hotels before going to such places. We had gone during Ugadi so almost all hotels were completely booked for the night. Would like to thank Biju and his team at the reception desk who were helpful throughout our stay and always wore a smile. Would like to specially call out to Tikko (housekeeping staff) who got my severe bout of shivering to a halt with his hand and leg massage and Reji Annan (their in-house driver) who drove me all the way to the nearby hospital that is 30kms away (Adarsha Hospital, Kundapura Highway) at around 1am in the night and got me back to the room safely by 3.30am. I'm really happy that there are such good people in this friendly temple town who goes out of their way to help you (something that was missing in our previous day stay in an overhyped Cafe, Gokarna).

We took AC room and booked from MMTbwith breakfast included. Room was small but tidy and clean. Not much space to accommodate ***y baggages. Hot water is not available for 24 hours. Morning when you open tap for 5 to 10 mins after that hot water will come. Breakfast was good. It was Udupi style idly, upma and sheera. My daughter enjoyed a lot.service was good. Overall good experience.

#FIRSTHEPLUSES We met the owner the day we arrived. This was my message to her. Thank you so much for arranging for a cooler. That sure made our evenings very pleasant in the sit out. Your recommendation for Prawn Biryani,silver fish 🐟 rawa fry for dinner was perfect too. And ofcourse it was only because of you that we could get to see the Heritage Village in Manipal and enjoy that regional authentic lunch at The Mill. She had also recommended seeing the Chariot procession held every day at the Krishna temple at Udupi. 🛕. Which we couldn't see but mentioning here for the benefit of other traveller's. #THEMINUSES The resort is blessed with an absolutely fabulous location. You are blessed with an absolutely fabulous location for the resort. However, would like to give you a suggestions to make your resort more attractive. 1. The overall look of the resort needs to be spruced up. The pond behind doesn't look clean. There was a foul smell coming from where our rooms were. But upon telling the Manager the next day that was taken care off. As in any other resort the cleaning staff should be on the job for it to always have a spruced up look. 2.The approach to get on to the boat needed to be swept clean and the boat itself needs to be spotlessly clean at all times for after all the charge for an hour is a considerable amount. Must add though that the boatman does a good job of showing the various sites. 2. The rooms- A)They were musty . B)There were cobwebs on the windows. The curtains had a few rings come off and they are definitely not adequate enough to shut out the light. The curtains need a change too.Perhaps Jaipur prints? C) One of the lights was not working. D) The lighting is inadequate. Table lamps will add to the general ambience of the room. E) The bathroom needs a shelf near the sink to keep toileteries.As well as more hooks or stand to hang clothes/ towels etc. The one already there is too high. F) The bathroom floor is smooth mosaic. It is dangerously slippery when wet. G) The colour combination of the walls and upholstery is dark. Could do with a more cheerful look. H) There is no intercom. It is unfair to expect guests to use their personal phones to get in touch with the staff. I) The wifi has very poor connectivity. The breakfast- On the first day since only the four of us were present in the resort There was no buffet breakfast. So after being told what was available the idlis and the sambhar was stone cold. The vada and the Dosa were both not upto the mark. There was a strange oil smell in the food. The order took a long time in getting done too. But having reported this to the manager the next day the breakfast was good and service prompt. A word about the staff- They are all very polite and helpful. And we were happy with their service. Only, it is important to ensure that they are bathed and clean when they report for work. Since the tariff you charge is steep, it will be nice if you pay immediate att

Location is excellent, right near bus stand and auto stand with nearby markets and eating joints. Nice and courteous staff. Well maintained and clean property

This is one of the best hotels I have been in India (under my budget). I loved it! The room was super big with wonderful views of the city; you could see up to Malpe (I was on the 8th floor, room 308). It was spotless clean and the staff were lovely. I couldn't ask for anything else. There is a nice pub with open view on the 4th floor to chill out at the end of the day. Besides the location is great, near Khrisna Temple and the bus terminal. I totally recommend it and if I go back to Udupi I'll stay here again.

The rooms were pristine clean, clean bed linen and towels. Plenty of hot water. Tea/ coffee kettle in room. Excellent service both at reception and restaurant . Staff Benedict/ Aroop went the extra mile with their service and so did the young restaurant Manager. The location is also superb. Only issue was that due to heavy rains the street was flooded and so was their basement car park. Also wish mid range hotels in India had shower cubicles. The whole bathroom is wet after a shower!
