Tea Castle is in the old town of Munnar, called Chithirapuram so it means it’s an uphill drive so view is more breathtaking than hotels closer to market.

We were on 9th floor so just below restaurant and had view of the winding road amidst tea plantations as well as the hills beyond. It’s a superb view.
The bathroom is the cleanest and best we experienced, no fancy twists and turns to get the water to flow. An extra steel sink outside is a boon. Tea coffee maker with electric kettle in deluxe room.

Staff is very good, courteous and warm, both room service, reception and restaurant.
They offer a la carte and buffet in the restaurant. Jeera rice was Rs.70; Vegetable curry Rs.70; Phulka was Rs.5 for one. The complimentary breakfast had the widest array of items from wada, idli, uthappa with sambar, bread toast, omelette, cornflakes with milk, tea, coffee and juice.

Drawbacks
- Tea Castle is near the tea plantation and factory but far from market area and Mattupetty dam if you're keen on sightseeing but Munnar is for doing nothing so the hotel is ideally suited.
- The food quality could improve.
- There were small roaches but only in the wooden cupboards. Glass topped table and 3 chairs can be used to put baggage on so that roaches don’t trouble. Pest Control required as others may not be so tolerant of roaches but Kerala is a place where there will be insects because it's cheek by jowl with nature.
