Aswang's 3 days trip to Coonoor

Had a good experience with travel traingle previously. This time I feel the we had not been compensated properly with regards to hotel. Hotel exterior looked nice and the inside was clean but it was extremely small. Barely enough space for one bed, let alone the luggages. I'm not sure how much margi

n is kept aside by travel triangle for profit. But I feel like the for the price we paid the hotel experience could have been better. Apart from that all good

Pccegoa's 3 days trip to Coonoor

Travel agent provided us reliable, decent and patient kannada speaking driver as requested. The places were well covered. But, I had opened my conversation to suggest places. She could have told me about longest drive over two ghat section from Ooty to Kodaikanal, which seems to be tiresome Also,

no attempts were made to cancel the stay at Kodaikanal. We have to forgo stay at kodai. Overall, trip was good. Enjoyable and made treasurable moments

Mudumba's 5 days trip to Coonoor

Every thing is good. Payment screenshot should also be shared to customer regarding hotels as there is some gap between manager and receptionist even though you had done on time. Regular Follow up should be there regarding driver and hotel allocation before the trip inspite of customer calling every

time.

Praveendhr's 3 days trip to Coonoor

Hotel provided was just ok. Not that great. No toiletries were provided.when we requested. For an upgrade of the room they said they would charge us 1000 extra per night. However they demanded 1500 while checkout. But finally they agreed for 1000 per night which I felt bad on their part. They never

told me 1500 extra per night. Same type of breakfast for three days. Travel agent did not call us a single time to know the status and Check if we have any issues. Expected call from the agent. Cab driver was an excellent guy. He helped us with all the tour details and always had right suggetion.
