A long-standing budget haunt, Reflections sits across the road from Ooty Lake. Most of its 12 spotless, good-value rooms have lake views; the best come with freshly updated bathrooms and open on to a grassy terrace. The super attentive owners serve snacks on request and can organise guided treks. Hot water is available anytime when requested.
