The Fern An Ecotel Hotel, Lonavala

This hotel is very near to 2nd Entry of Lonavala, say after Khandala entry of express way. We have reached early so we have to wait for the room but they have given us the room at 12 noon where as check-in was at 2 pm. Check-in was very smooth. Rooms are quite spacious for 2 but with 3rd bed it will be full. Not much space left. There is not much view from hotel. Ours was facing express way. Room has all the amenities required. Bed is quite comfortable and king size. Cleaning staff was very helpful. They were ready to help if you want cleaning more then once, they are ready with smile. They have given us many more water bottles due to hot temperature. They have very beautiful spa. We have used that. Masseurs are quite professional and understand our requirement. One can try this. They have wide variety in breakfast. You get south India, north Indian and continental breakfast. Service is also good and fast. Stewards are ready to help. We appreciate ‘Urvashi’ at the restaurant. She was very helpful. Book hotel with breakfast only. We have not taken lunch/dinner so can’t comment. Overall good hotel to stay with good service.

Location is excellent. It is near to city centre. The surounding is calm and peacefull. Few rooms have beautifull view of mountains. Staff is very polite. Hospitality excellent. The pool area is very nive. They have hot water Jakuzzi too beside the pool, which gives a very relaxing experience. A big green lawn to play cricket, badminton etc. There is indoor paly area too. Spa is also available. The rooms are very spacious. The food and breakfast is very nice. Excellent stay at comparatively lower tarrif.

If you are travelling between Pune and Mumbai and need to break the journey then this is a great location. The hotel wasn't the easiest to find from the main road, but it was raining heavily and was dark! The food was good, I had the buffet and both the Thai green curry and non-veg Indian options were very nice. Breakfast was OK. Overall the hotel is very good, it has the feel of a nice hotel trying to be a really nice hotel nd just falling short but overall happy with the stay.

Size of the room - we had a suite so a lounge, bedroom, cot, bathroom with tub - balcony with excellent mountain views. It was really lovely. The air was clean, no need for AC or even the fan! The food in the restaurant was excellent and the waiters were very attentive

Staff was helpful. Room was comfortable. Food was great. Overall a nice stay for 2 days.
