Prime location, pretty views, and good food
The hotel is located at the heart of the settlement, with most rooms facing the Kodai lake. The close proximity to the lake and the surrounding market makes this a prime tourist spot. The rooms are standard-grade 5-star offerings. The cottages are the highlight. Although just marginally expensive than the premium rooms, they come with three rooms, plus a bathroom, and a garden. The bathrooms have a bathtub which is the cherry on the top, and quite rare in the region. The food offers plenty of variety, with the buffet consisting of over a dozen options. In terms of added facilities, have indoor games like air hockey, TT, tennis, as well as spa services. The lush green gardens are a highlight, with swings, see-saws, and other contraptions for both children and adults.

Great place for a family vacation
Great location, ambience, food and facilities. Service especially in restaurant and room service can be improved. Need to improve accessibility of lower floors. As a family with small kid and stroller it was hard to move up/down the hotel.

Nice hotel with good lake view
We went to Kodi just to relax. No plans to see places as most of the time famous places are either overcrowded and/or not properly managed. Most of the time we were at the hotel relaxing or enjoying hotel facilities. We enjoyed our time. 3rd day we went to see nearby falls but there was no rain so no water. Nobody bothered to tell this to us. So half way we cancelled our sightseeing and went back to hotel.

Excellent service at very comfortable hotel
Stayed at the Carlton for 4 nights and was lucky to enjoy good weather for 2 days. Room was very comfortable, only room for improvement is the sound-proofing. Food and service from very attentive staff was excellent. Enjoyed a cocktail in the ambient bar and a cycle round the lake. The complimentary tour and paddle boat ride were appreciated.
