hotéis em Thiruvananthapuram

Prós: Excellent location with awsome hospitality

Prós: everything was wonderful....exceeded our expectations

Contras: Nothing

Prós: staff,breakfast,beach

Contras: bathroom needs upgrading

Prós: Staff were courteous and helpful throughout our stay. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Cafe jade provided authentic kerala cuisines which added spice to our stay. I would like appreciate staff Ms. Mithya and Ms. Nithya for taking extra care.

Contras: There could work a bit more on cleanliness.

Contras: Hotel rules and regulations should have properly conveyed to customer at the time of check in, water was leaking inside the washroom follows to bedroom, which was quite annoying.

Prós: The mattress

Contras: Breakfast

Prós: 1. Dining room staff were excellent and attentive 2. Location is central 3. Beds are comfortable

Contras: 1. Upon arrival we were shown several rooms which were all dirty, especially the bathroom, which had stains of urine and feces around the toilet bowl. 2. Many rooms suffer from dampness which leads to moldy odor. 3. Staff was untrained to deal with guest comlaints. We needed to reach till the general manager to have out voice heard. 4. The hotel suffers from bad acoustics due to thin walls, and you hear noises from the hallway, other floors and other rooms all night. 5. Water inthe shower is luke warm at best. After complaining about it, we were rudely offered a bucket with boiling water! 6. There is a guys spraying poison against bugs every afternoon in front of the entrance. Poisonous fumes are dispersed all over without notice. It is a serious health concern which we adressed, but it was totally ignored. 7. Some of the furniture, towel and hallway carpets need replacement.

Prós: Location

Contras: Very arrogant approach from front office reception staffs.

Prós: Very nice and clean good location

Contras: Rooms

Prós: Great location. Good value for money and the staff are excellent and go out of their way to help

Prós: Top location, excellent service, Top spa

Prós: It’s position on an headland overlooking the ocean and sandy beach, wonderful individual rooms nestling under the coconut palms

Prós: Amazing food - there are no buffets so individual meals are ordered a la carte. We were worried about costs but most dinners were around £25 for two. We went with our 6m old baby and the staff could not have been more accomodating. There were very few mosquitoes and the water was safe with complimentary RO water. 25m drive from the airport. Traditional Keralan architecture and private beach were very special. What a perfect, peaceful tropical paradise. Thank you so much!

Contras: Nothing, everything was brilliant

Prós: The Niraamaya retreat is truly a paradise. The staff and the restaurant stand out as world class! the Food is impeccably cooked by the chef and is consistently perfect. The tandoori dishes were our favorite as was the kerala pratha. Normally we would try different lunch and dinner locations during our stay but here we did not leave this restaurant. A testament to the food and chef. The location and cottages are wonderfully positioned for amazing views all day and during sunset.

Contras: The Spa is nice and you get 10mins with a Dr before your treatment. Being an Auveydic retreat i expected the doctor to have a conversation about overall health however it was more just an explanation of the treatment i was about to have. Maybe i needed to book a separate appointment with the Dr but seems a little pointless to offer this as the leaflet explains the treatment very well.

Prós: If You need a quiet place for total relax then this is the right place! Very good service, amazing pool and private beach - like a paradise!

Prós: We have been there 3 times already. It feels like visiting a family. Everyone is so helpful and nice. The atmosphere and the landscape is like Paradies... We will definitely come back....

Prós: A beautiful resort at a perfect location. Our room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. All was provided which is needed. The single villas and houses are put in a lovely garden like setting. The restaurant offers a great view over the beach and the sea side. Food was lovely, service very good. Pool, beach, garden...all is very well maintained and clean. Staff friendly, Yoga sessions were great. The resort is not far away from Kovolam but still a little bit away from everything.

Contras: I was missing free water and water dispensers. This would avoid the excessive usage of plastic bottles.

Prós: Friendly, clean, cool, and very supportive in resolving issues arise

Contras: My request during booking was not carry out effectively, such as filling in the form should have minimize my time waiting at counter if they would have filled some portion they already have...

Prós: Ideal place near to the airport for a rest after or before a flight. Benefits of swimming pool, equipments and services are really helpful to relax. Rooms are spacious with private balcony. Staff members are kind and attentive.

Prós: Great Massage!!!!!!!!!!!

Prós: The very friendly staff.

Contras: Nothing that I can think of

Prós: Fabulous relaxing chilled calm environment in thwle tropics. Wonderful stagg and.room was fantastic, loved every moment we were there

Contras: Nothing

Prós: I liked everything. Close to local beach and airport, fantastic staff, pool, large room, good restaurant.. Fantastic last stay to unwind after Indian adventures and before flying out.

Prós: Nice, clean, great location, polite and helpful staff. I was travelling alone as a woman and felt safe. Mr Raghu the manager was a star, very nice polite helpful and generous. Ordered a car for day trip, nuce car good driver and punctual.

Prós: The staff, the premises, the garden.

Contras: One of our party members faced flooding in his bedroom. The resort's direction first accused that member of not putting his bag on the luggage rack, insulted him and we discovered to our dismay that they don't have damage insurance! We lost a lot.

Prós: Great location, lovely gardens and wonderful staff. Food was excellent, ayurvedic centre was good with superb therapists.

Contras: N/A

Prós: We booked a sea view room. The view from the exceptionally large private balcony was amazing. The room was much bigger and better facilities than I expected. The Ayuverdic centre was very traditional but excellent. However they were very busy when we were there, and I was on a waiting list. So if you want a treatment it is better to book before you arrive. The beach was excellent, the hotel having their own sun loungers and lifeguards; as the sea is very rough in this area. Also 2 nice pools. Early morning yoga, which was free was also excellent. Interesting they have a dental clinic on site where you can have your teeth whitened etc

Contras: Nothing. However for those who can not walk up steep hills and steps then you would need to book a room near the restaurant/ upper swimming pool

Prós: Food was excellent, one of the two pools was nice and clean

Contras: NOTHING like the photos or description advertised - loads of facilities that they list don't exist (no seating area in your room if booking a Heritage Premium, no grocery store, only 1 restaurant not 3, no indoor pools, no fitness facilities, the list goes on). We insisted on changing rooms when the first one we offered was tiny and the bathroom was outside (meaning there was a gecko in our shower). The second one we got was a bit bigger, but not much better. The whole place is very dated, very dark and very dingy. It's TERRIBLE value for money - I feel totally conned to be honest. If I'd known what the hotel was actually like when booking, I'd have gone somewhere else. I trusted the information listed and this turned out to be false.

Prós: The site, the kindness of staff, the cleanliness.

Contras: We were a big party of 10. One bedroom was flooded and caused a lot of damage. We tried to find a solution with the director, she didn’t want to communicate and said that we had to take a lawyer. We are doing as she wanted, and we won’t come back in the same resort even though the place is great.

Prós: Food is awesome

Contras: Not clean, not quite, no hospitality from staffs

Prós: The view and greenery

Contras: Beach is far away should have a private beach

Contras: There was no wifi availability while our stay. Need to provide indoor slippers and floor mats to avoid getting dirty.

Prós: Small bungalows, heritage style with small balcony and amazing seaview. Nice Ayurveda Center, great and helpful staff.

Contras: When checked in was given a room that did nothing look like the heritage room I booked, however, staff was very kind and arranged to change the next day.

Prós: It is quite a large hotel, 90 rooms I think and spread over a hill. We were shown to our room which we did not accept and another. Finally on the 3rd we were allocated a very nice room with a balcony and sea views. The restaurant was pleasant. It is a about a 10 minute walk to some good shops and Taylor’s. (Turn right out of the hotel and go through the alley signposted to the church. Carry on passed the church and you will eventually come to the street). We stayed 5 nights and enjoyed our R&R from being on the road for 4 weeks. Most of the staff were very nice.

Contras: We didn’t like the different standards in the bedrooms. My advice is look at the room first. It’s quite a long walk to the beach down in a lift. It’s worth going at 7am to watch the fisherman bring in their catch though. It is very spread out and some rooms are a long way from the dining room. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone with walking disabilities. The pool was also not very easy to get in and out off. Saying that though we had a pleasant stay.

Contras: the staff behaviour, especially the resort managers

Prós: Location was the best part of the stay - great views . Staff was helpful.

Contras: Food downstairs could be better. Change of towels , room & toilet cleaning that one expects at hotels like this, did not happen as part of regular service.

Prós: The staff were exceptionally helpful the view was great

Contras: No telephone No TV Low quality linen No restaurant of its own No room service No view, the resort is surrounded by other buildings. Payment was manual, no computer system. I booked through trivago. But there's nothing to be related.

Prós: very close to beach.. early morning 5.00o clock to night 12.00o clock... we can enjoy the tourist place... feel very freedom..

Prós: The pool area beautiful.the food was fabulous. Staff very helpful and kind. Manager auctioned anything required he was a brilliant manager and always calm and friendly. Surrounded by tall palm trees.

Contras: Rooms needed a lick of paint.

Prós: Everything was superb! Room , clean every day , food amazing, and staff and treatments are more than I can imagine! I will be back as soon is possible ! Best place to stay !

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Pool was nice but it didn't get a lot of sun.

Contras: Not a great location - very far away from Kovalam and not alot around in terms of restaurants or markets.

Prós: Pool is good .... Surroundings is too good

Contras: Narrow pathway and there is no light.

Prós: The swimming pool was amazing and treatments were a treat

Prós: Great food, very clean pool, friendly staff Nothing too much trouble.

Prós: The Ayurvedic treatment and the doctor were first class. I didn’t have many medical issues but they cleared up any minor ailments I had. The food was good and the staff were always helpful and smiling. The bonus was a great swimming pool

Contras: Nil

Prós: Fabulous Ayurvedic buffets, beautiful pool and great staff. Good for solo travellers as small enough to be able to mix with other travellers if wanted.

Contras: Mattress on bed was like concrete. Very little else in the area.

Prós: The amminities are good

Contras: Staff Behaviour And a feeling of being greeted No hot water was available Not dental kits where available After calling they provided 1 dental kit

Contras: House keeping not good as earlierHad to request for Drinking water and News paper each day No hand towels..

Prós: Clean hotel with nice bars and restaurants. Pleasant helpful staff.

Contras: We booked this hotel purely because it had a pool. When we asked for pool towels we were told that we could not use the pool due to repair work. So very disappointed. I think that someone should have let us know that before we arrived to give us the chance to find another hotel that did have a working pool.

Prós: Apart from security staff everything else was horrible. It was total waste of money. It is such an over-rated hotel.

Contras: The condition of the room, service provided and cleanliness. There were many complaints for a single room, none of which were rectified, we had to keep switching rooms with each complaint

Prós: Location

Contras: Outdated but clean

Prós: The location is amazing! Surround by palm trees, with the golden beach is truly special!

Contras: The fact that you have to pay for everything additional, like yoga classes. If your not doing an ayurveda package, things seem a little less different. Also there were not many young solo travellers so was hard to mingle with people.

Prós: Location and ambience.

Contras: Not so Indian friendly property and the massage is not worth the money or hype.

Contras: We didn't get the Cottages we've booked. So basically the whole experience was bad. We had problems with the water on the arrival day and Air conditioning didn't work at the last 2 days.

Prós: Beautiful location. food was very varied and great

Contras: Staff not at all helpful. Really not suitable to stay for a few days - resort is a Ayurveda hospital and most people are in a health program and staying for a week or more. Staff do not seem to be bothered if you are not in one of these programmes

Prós: Lovely quiet relaxing spot at the beach with a good Ayurvedic centre for treatments. Friendly reception and treatment staff. Beautifully maintained property with plenty of hammocks to relax in and yoga and meditation which was fantastic to experience.

Contras: Restaurant was chaotic and disorganised if you were not partaking in the Ayurvedic buffet. English was very poor in the restaurant so communication was difficult Had to see a doctor every time you wanted a massage.

Prós: Tudo excelente. Recomendo e vou voltar.

Prós: The view

Contras: The lunch for vegetarian only

Prós: Magic spot by the beach. Nature, comfort and amazing massages and therapies. Food is delicious and vegetarian, healthy and great. It was my second visit to this heavenly place

Prós: The view from hotel room was amazing and all staff were polite and friendly. I really enjoyed the stay with my family.

Contras: The location is far from Trivandrum City and the only possible way to get there is having google map and internet.

Prós: Keep if up

Contras: Nothong

Prós: The view of the lake.

Contras: I was the only guest at the hotel. Instead of putting me in their best room,they put me in a room where my view as of the roof overhang covered in cigarette butts. They couldve upgraded my room and when i asked to be upgraded it cost me more to do so, there was no buffet breakfast but was i compensated for that? No! I had to eat in my room coz restaurant was closed, and charged for the room service fees!! I asked for young coconuts...3 days i was there..not one coconut.if i asked at dinner i was told its only served for breakfast, when i asked at breakfast it was going to be served at 10 am. It went on like that. Whats on the menu isnt what u will get. No explanation or apology is offered. Mashed potato isnt the same as wedges, but in their case, interchangeable.no explanation. Ask for no nuts on icecream, yes yes madam they say,but yes it arrives with nuts. I felt stuck and i didnt enjoy the experience at all. The one guest in the hotel and they couldnt make it fun.

Prós: Nothing

Contras: It was dirty. There were carvings of topless women in the bar. The staff were untrained. No bananas. Bad coffee. The lightning in the bathroom was terrible

Prós: Staff was helpful and the quality of food was good as well. The executive bar was neat and tidy with a pleasant ambience. Room service was good.

Contras: The water in the wash rooms were muddy. Despite repeated complaints the water was muddy in both the rooms till we checked out. This was raised a couple of times but sadly little was done to change the quality of water in the wash rooms. We had no choice. I was told several other customers also raised the same issue. Food as listed on the menu was unavailable multiple times and the American and continental breakfast was way below expectations. Several other menu items were unavailable on multiple occasions in the restaurant.

Prós: The property is well maintained. Whatever they have is of good quality. And be it the amenities,the supplies or even the food, there wasnt a feeling of cutting corners unmecessaeily.

Contras: Location is the only thing that might be a negative,if you insist on giving a negative.

Prós: Nothing

Contras: Firstly it's not a five star, not more than 3 star rating you can give. We were the only guests in the hotel and for little late check out request they were acting as if they running full. Second bad stinky horrible bathrooms. Third food was horrible and it took more than an hour for appam kurma to come

Prós: The services were excellent, staff very helpful and friendly, they helped me so much: arranged airport shuttle, Kovalam sightseeing tour and late check out. They are very client orientated and try to do as much as they can, that client would be happy.

Prós: Very helpful and friendly staff. A good spot to be that little bit away from the crowd but near enough to enjoy the beach. Good for relaxing. Food was good.

Prós: Staff very friendly, beautiful well-kept grounds, nice big pool, excellent restaurant, room clean and comfortable and the possibility to get an ayurvedic massage. A wonderful place to relax and enjoy a memorable holiday! And while the beach nearby is not as good as the (popular) Kovalam beach it is nice to walk on the beach and to see the village life of the fishing village outside the resort.

Prós: Beautiful green oasis in tranquil surroundings with refreshing pool to really swim in. Great restaurant with delicious food and very attentive and friendly staff.

Contras: A little too far from the beach to walk daily with small kids.

Prós: Overall impressions of the hotel were excellent, public areas were clean and well maintained, the bungalows were spacious, well maintained and were immaculately cleaned every day. The pool was kept clean and plenty of pool towels were available. All the staff were friendly, polite and knowledgeable. The restaurant food was well cooked and very reasonably priced. A hotel to go back to.

Contras: The sunbeds are getting a little old and should be replaced. It would be nice to have some low tables by the sunbeds.

Prós: We really enjoyed our first week in Kerala staying here ! We stayed in a cottage with a view of the pool. The mature garden is paradise with coconut palms, mango trees and many other tropical plants. The buffet served a wide range of delicious curries and there’s also an a la carte menu to choose from and they always serve fresh fruit. If you don’t fancy an Indian style breakfast you can have boiled eggs, an omelette and toast and of course fruit like delicious pineapple. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We had several massages which were excellent - just what we needed after busy lives and several flights. The long, sandy beach is a ten minute walk away and you can hire beds and umbrellas for 200 rupees per person. The lifeguards are great at showing you where and when to go swimming in between the big waves. I took a yoga class each morning and some evenings with a lovely teacher ! There are many day or half day trips to go on. We went to the Elephant Rehabilitation Centre north east of Trivandrum - watching the elephants bathing and being fed was very special. The place is not touristy which was nice but they do need the funding to care for the elephants. Several people we met took boat trips from Poovar (10km away) through the mangrove swamps. A very relaxing place in a gorgeous garden ... and a big pool to dip in when your hot ... what more can you need !

Prós: Staff very nice. Room clean. BathToals and bed white. Nice restaurant. Very nice employes . Good and clean swiming pool. Quite. Lovely enviorement. Beautiful garden.

Contras: Bad furniture but nice beds. Far from main beaches.

Prós: Stay was very nice

Prós: It was quiet and the pool area was quite nice.

Contras: We stayed in one of the bungalows, although it was clean it was very run down and basic. Also there was metal bars at all windows which made it feel like a prison cell. There was no safe in the room, the mini bar was an mouldy empty broken fridge and aircon constantly stopping and starting. The room which breakfast was served was very dark and not inviting and service was very poor. We were there over new year whereby the hotel held a nye gala. We were not informed of this or invited to join and only became aware of it on return back to the hotel at 10pm. The location is poor no restaurants In walking distance. We left a day early would not recommend.

Prós: Almost everything, cleanliness, service from staff and management. Ayurveda treatment was fantastic. Food was good. Staff couldn’t do enough for you. We like to drink fresh coconut water and they would make sure they get it for us everyday. Fresh lime soda was made at least 3 times a day as that is what we like drinking.

Contras: I think everything was good just there was not a lot by the hotel as I like to walk and browse in shops.

Prós: A varanda do quarto com vista para o jardim e as copas dos coqueiros é muito relaxante. A piscina é óptima para nadar e ficar dentro de água a olhar o céu e os coqueiros e a praia que está perto é a mais bonita que vimos em Kerala. Luxuriante e natural, sem restaurantes ou muita pegada humana. Apenas existem dois resorts lá e têm as construções dentro da mata deixando o areal livre e lindo.

Contras: Pelo preço, esperava um hotel mais moderno. Conserva todo o charme de quando terá sido construído e é confortável, mas ganharia muito com uma remodelação de interiores. O espaço é muito bom e merece uma actualização, sobretudo as instalações do centro de ayurvedica.

Prós: Just the ocean view

Contras: Dirty beach. No comfortable access to the beach. Breakfast was disappointing. Noisy ceremony from early in the morning from the other hotel till the afternoon. Was not safe at all to go out and hang around.

Prós: Breakfast need to improve.. some vada can be included, sambhar to be little thick(more watery now). one more chutney can be introduced

Contras: some outside barbeque can be done ..fish chicken etc ppl can select fish according to their likes which can be a better option

Prós: Nothing about this property I'm afraid. Very disappointing compared with other locations in this area of a similar or lower price.

Contras: I arrived at the property quite late - though 10pm is not exactly the middle of the night. The young man who registered me was arrogant and surly and was not welcoming at all. Rather he seemed quite put out that I had arrived at all and was hard pressed to answer simple and reasonable questions such as What is the wifi code? I felt it a very cold reception from him and the accompanying chap there to escort me to my room. Although it sounds quite charming to take a boat to the accommodation it was not. With bags it is a hassle across a very dirty lagoon in a rickety old boat. The feeling is one of being disconnected and unable to come and go from the property without endlessly awaiting the boat trip to reception and out of the hotel. My room was located in a row with others adjacent to the restaurant and I was woken very early by the sound of staff dragging tables and scraping chairs across the floor and preparing breakfast. The view was out onto a lagoon and beach - strewn with debris and rubbish being picked over by crows. It is a mid-price hotel but very poor quality - better to pay more - or even less for a clean and happy homestay. As I found out my friend at another location was ill, I decided to check out after one night - although I accept I had booked for 3 nights. I paid in full with no discount but on reflection did politely request that I was refunded so as to pay for only 2 nights - a fair compromise? This was refused. The hotel is a poor quality money making business with little regard for guests. I would not recommend.

Prós: Small (21 rooms) , hence rather personal, because the staff is very friendly and competent, this can be considered an asset. Should be very restful, except the week of the badhrakali festival when there is music, some would call it noise, all day and most of the nights. Good food with enough choice and some exciting local specialities. Offers Ayurvedic treatments from one to four weeks.

Contras: No easy access to the beach, Rather dangerous sea. Because all staff are very friendly, it is impossible to tip them all. A general “tip-box” would have been welcome.

Prós: Location

Contras: Room service and taste of the food not up to the mark.

Prós: Location & view

Contras: Food options were less. Limited North Indian food options .service was slow as kichen was far . quantity of vegitables is also very less per plate
