Kodaikanal Hotels

TTDC Hotel Tamil Nadu (tel 257, tlx 0430-3202) is just below the new bus-stand. Clean and friendly, it has the prime beach situation, with some lovely rooms (Rs150) overlooking the sea. Food is good, and so is the dormitory accommodation. Hotel Cape (tel 222) is also run by TTDC and has rooms from Rs175. TTDC also run a Youth Hostel next to Hotel Tamil Nadu with rooms from Rs50. The better budget lodges are located down by the old bus-stand. Manickam, North Car St, and Lekshmi, East Car St, have the best roofs for sunrise/sunset views, and charge Rs40 for clean, adequate rooms. The brand-new Hotel Saravana, opposite Vivekananda pier, is a little more expensive but worth it.
