Zostel Ooty

Ooty

Situated in Ooty, 2.5 km from Ooty Lake, Zostel Ooty features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant. The property is around 3.6 km from Ooty Botanical Gardens, 5.9 km from Gymkhana Golf Course and 10 km from Ooty Doddabetta Peak. The accommodation offers a concierge service and free WiFi.

Popular points of interest near the hostel include Ooty Bus Station, Ooty Railway Station and Ooty Rose Garden. The nearest airport is Coimbatore International Airport, 98 km from Zostel Ooty. I was staying few nights, and remote-worked one day. Location is excellent, on a small hill walking distance from the stations with grate view. Kitchen is available at the property. Internet was sufficient for work (meetings + few GB data transfer), if you need to hold presentation/screenshare, you might need a backup mobile-internet connection. I had a last minute reschedule because I couldn't get train ticket (check in advance if you're planing to take the train!), the staff managed to get a driver last minute, who took me to part of the route where the train goes (4h, Connor, Ketti valley), did a 30 minutes hiking, visited tea plantations, a handcrafted chocolate factory, viewpoints, had a very good time. I warmly recommend the property both for digital nomads or explorers.
