Good(128 Reviews)2.0 / 5.0
The staff were extremely slow and never listened. Multiple occasions where I ordered something from room service or in the bar, and then had to chase staff 40 minutes later. It was easier to go to reception and get it myself. I tried organising a taxi for when I checked out the next day - reception staff were incapable.
Very disappointing.

The location is a good spot. Apart from the porter who handled the baggage, staff were indifferent during the stay. This was especially noticed during the breakfast dining time. They lacked the attentiveness and friendliness to customers. Also good portion of the staff had very limited to limited English language for speaking

Great hotel in general, bathrooms and diner could be improved.

All the staff were very helpful, friendly and professional. But the hotel itself needs some serious renovation. The bathroom looks like its from the last century, the white tiles are yellow and the ceiling is mouldy. Such a shame a hotel with rich history (yes there's a whole display of it in the foyer) has fallen into its current state.

Hi lovely colonial hotel just outside the town. We had one of the basic rooms but it was very comfortable and spacious - Lots of staff on hand
We eat the restaurant both night and the food was average not particularly to my taste
There are two bars and both had lovely roaring fires in the evening which was very nice to sit and have a cocktail by

Lovely property. and excellent staff. However very thin ceilings and walls. Suggest you always stay on the top floor as the ground floor is incredibly noisey with the sound from the occupants above

Large rooms, nicely maintained. Good location close enough for a nice stroll through town. WiFi is terrible, very slow making it rather impossible to get work done. Overall not bad at all.

An old colonial building with lots of character and very helpful staff. Beautiful!

This hotel is absolutely beautiful! The staff were great and very helpful. The rooms are great, however they are a little dated. All of the staff were very helpful. The food was good as was the high tea in the salon. My only suggestion would be that the hotel do more to control the temperature of their wine. The hotel has a beautiful walk in wine cellar, but I think it is too warm for the wine.

The shower has no raiser or divider so the floor area gets soaked . They offered a car & driver services saying I would have the best and be protected and their driver took me north instead of my destination in the south and dropped me in a place i did not want to be ! The refunded the trip cost but refused to refund my two nights hotel reservation at my prescribed destination ! I am still out the money !

We stayed for 2 nights at Jetwing St Andrew's and overall were happy with our stay. We were upgraded on arrival to a large room, with a huge comfortable bed.
The hotel itself is old and you feel a great sense of history. The bar is a great place to relax with a roaring fire and great tunes being played. There is an extensive buffet dinner offered every night which is reasonably price but there are plenty of dining options elsewhere in town.
The gardens of the hotel are lovely but quite small, but even so you can spend some time enjoying them. The hotel offers bird and frog tours with their resident naturist.
The staff on the whole are good and helpful. We did have a problem in that they forgot to pack us breakfast for our early morning trip to Horton Plains. This was incredibly frustrating as we said it's fine not to have food, that we did not want it as we were in a hurry and asked just to be provide with some bananas. We waited 15 minutes for the bananas to find a whole packed lunch provided which we stated at least 3 times that we didn't want. As a result we missed the sunrise that we had got up for and also the unobscured view from Horton Plains which was our whole reason for staying at the hotel! The duty manager was just not listening and more concerned about providing what he was supposed to than what the customer wanted!
The location of the hotel is a bit of a walk into town if you are venturing out but you can cheaply get a tuk tuk.

BED BUGS !!!
My daughter and I stayed 2 nights at the Jetwing St. Andrew's.
The Hotel is well located and has lovely common rooms (bar with fireplace, pool room, etc), however, the room itself was very noisy (could distinctly hear the neighbours and the people walking on the floor above), the bathroom was completely unpractical with water from the shower splashing everywhere and not even a small place to put a toiletry bag and, last but nor least, the beg had bugs. I got my my body covered with bites. Luckily my daughter was sleeping in another bed and wasn't affected. Despite assurance from the manager that I'll receive a partial refund in compensation, nothing happened.
Big disappointment...
PS: the bed bug bites are quite itchy and take about 2 weeks to disappear completely...

The staff were a bit pretentious and the hotel was quite tired - it needed an update. The breakfast was very expensive too.

We enjoyed our one night stay. The hotel has a colonial history and is in the old style. It is not by any stretch luxurious - it is well preserved and a little dated - bathrooms especially. However the staff are friendly and helpful and the facilities adequate for the length of our visit.

Paid 3 x the amount of grand so thought would be good - big mistake - food very poor (menu terrible) - tried to charge for things we didn't have. Rooms big but v dated - mould in bathroom....dogs (?) woke me up at 3am fighting. Did not in any way resemble the jetwing we stayed at night b4. I feel robbed. Stay elsewhere - at the grand or similar.

The Jetwing looked promising on arrival with fab gardens, however it was short lived! The rooms were big but the bathroom dirty, mouldy,leaking shower/toilet and stank of cigarettes. Breakfast was awful, cockroaches crawling around the food and all food items were barely stocked so you had to keep asking for things. As a foreigner hotel tried to serve tap water and when questioned said you can have a bottle but forgotto mention 130 rupee charge! Overall would not recommend this hotel and its not worthy of it's star rating!

The hotel is amazing in sense of history. It has been there for more than 120 years. However, the breakfast had no variety.
