Although the hotel was close to the Lulu Mall, it was kind of in the middle of nowhere, so if you wanted to get out of the hotel and go for a walk, perhaps find something to eat other than restaurant food - one would have to go by auto rickshaw or indeed a taxi. But really, this hotel was lovely.

This is a great hotel. The room was huge, the bathroom was divine with a lot of wonderful toiletries and the bed was very comfortable as it was large. The use of the sauna, steam room and jacuzzi was a huge plus - I was able to rest and recuperate from a busy trip in India. There were wonderful snacks in the room too - local and much healthier than the average hotel fair. The food was also outstanding. I slept there for three days and enjoyed every minute.

The view outside my room was a junkyard. I guess this isn't the responsibility of the hotel, but that's not the impression you get when booking.

I loved my room so much, it was as big as my European flat. My bed was huge and the sheets were sheer luxury. I loved that there were healthy locally made snacks in the room that meant I didn't have to snack on junk. There was plenty of drinking water and lots of tea to choose from. I absolutely loved loved the bathroom - the mirror was well lit so that a girl can do her makeup properly. Plus they had thoughtful toiletries like a local loofah and everything one needs. I had planned on using the swimming pool everyday while I was there, but I was so relaxed in my room that I never go there. I loved my in room dining experience too - my meal was brought on a huge tray with a lot of thoughtful bits and pieces making my experience rather elegant in my room. The buffet breakfast in the restaurant was just superb as was the dinner. You really don't need to go to any other restaurant in town when the food is this good and especially because there are a lot of veg options. I loved being so close to the Lulu Mall. I ended my trip to India here so that I could do a little shopping and relaxation. Speaking of relaxation, the complimentary use of the steam room and sauna is a huge plus. Also, the fact that the hotel is so close to the airport, makes this a place that I would stay again and again.

Despite the varied buffet spreads, there should be some control on the liberal use of pepper & chilli on every main course dish. We know the locals like their food spicy. We found additional spices like pepper & chilli flakes added to oil-fried breakfast sausages, which we thought unnecessary. Why not just offer pepper & chilli shakers on the tables or buffet side station? We had to be very explicit to the show cooks who were cooking the omelettes for absolutely zero salt & pepper. Even with creamy Western dishes on the buffet, there was liberal use of pepper. We were hesitant to order Western dishes from the Room Service menu because of this reason. The disposable shavers in the room amenity tray should have a re-look as they can be blunt & dangerous.

We tried this hotel in 2023 & loved everything about our stay, hence our return. An unfortunate delay & the Indian elections meant we had to change our follow-on itinerary on short notice. Security is a top priority at O by Tamara & everything gets scanned at the entrance akin to G20 meeting clearance! The smiling, friendly & helpful staff embody the meaning of genuine hospitality here. Mr Joseph, the general manager & the department heads are clearly visible daily & open to chatting with inhouse guests. They really listen to your concerns & do what they can to make your stay comfortable & unforgettable. During our stay, we thoroughly enjoyed sampling the local & international fare. Restaurant buffet spreads were wide & varied. Compliments to chef Ajay who prepared a non spicy dish for us at dinner when we could not handle the heat of the dishes served one particular evening. Compliments also to the great restaurant manager Rajesh & his team, also to restaurant staff Jithin & Sravanan who stood out with service, friendliness & the food recommendations to try. Attention to hygiene & cleanliness in the restaurants, public areas and washrooms is another consideration to stay here. Exec Housekeeper Mr Jaleel & his staff ensured our room was cleaned well on the days we didn't have the DND sign on the door. Special mention to HK staff Suddhu who was organised, methodical & fast. Compliments also to FO duty manager Raakhi in her service, also the receptionists behind the counter who were always attentive & helpful with their suggestions. On our 1st trip, we enjoyed the Spa and hairdresser but on this visit, the delays & time constraints prevented us from doing so. Lulu Mall is just nearby but you still need a taxi to get there safely across 2 busy roads! Well worth visiting.
