Grande Iris is a one star hotel with a large listed set of facilities, set 2.2 km from the centre of Sultan Bathery, about 25 minutes on foot, in Wayanad district, North Kerala. Free parking, a lift, air conditioning and a 24 hour front desk make it easy to use. The guest score, 4.1 out of 5 from 736 reviews, is the deciding factor: solid for a one star property, and worth weighing against the low star rating.
What Grande Iris lists
Grande Iris carries a one star rating, and the list of facilities is unusually broad for that grade. Air conditioning, a refrigerator and a kitchen appear among the room features, with family rooms and non smoking rooms also offered. Outside the room you would find a restaurant, a bar, a fitness centre, a spa, a hot tub, a swimming pool, a games room, a garden and a beauty salon, alongside a banquet hall and a business centre.
Practical items are covered too: free WiFi and free parking, including valet parking, car hire and taxi service, a 24 hour front desk and 24 hour security, express check in, a concierge, laundry, luggage storage, a lift, room service and wheelchair accessible access. The guest score is 4.1 out of 5 from 736 reviews.
Sultan Bathery, Wayanad
Grande Iris stands inland in Sultan Bathery, a town in Wayanad district, in North Kerala. The address places it at Dhottappankulam 32 460A 673592 Sultan Bathery India. The centre of Sultan Bathery is 2.2 km from the centre of Sultan Bathery, about 25 minutes on foot, so walking into town is possible for a steady walker and short by vehicle.
Wayanad district sits in North Kerala, and Sultan Bathery is one of its main towns. The hotel's position is on the edge of the town rather than in the middle of it, which keeps the setting quieter while leaving the town's services within a walk or a short ride. The distance is useful for judging the walk, particularly in the heat.
Who it suits
Grande Iris suits travellers who want a wide spread of facilities and free parking, and who are willing to accept a one star rating to get them. Families and groups have space to spread out, with a pool, games room, garden and several dining and leisure options on site, and drivers will find the valet and car hire useful. It does not suit anyone who treats star ratings as a guide to finish and service, because one star sets the expectation low, and the guest score of 4.1 out of 5 from 736 reviews does not lift it into a higher grade.
Before you book
The listing gives no check in or check out times and says nothing about cancellation terms, so confirm both with the property before booking. Ask which facilities sit inside the room and which are shared, and whether use of the spa, hot tub, swimming pool or fitness centre carries conditions or timings that are not published here. The address and the 2.2 km distance from the centre of Sultan Bathery, about 25 minutes on foot, should also be checked against the transport you plan to use.
