Location is excellent, nearest to the sea. Food was also very good. Services were also very good. But regarding amenities, especially AC, it was not working properly.

It is an average property. Not value for money. Maintenance poor. The wash basins were broken which looked as if there was hair inside. The geyser inside was not working so was the exhaust fan. Breakfast below average. Rainwater comes inside. Though it is very near to airport the road to reach the property is very narrow on the edge of see. Overall wasn't a good experience

Location was absolutely fantastic. Beach, city centre, airport, mall are convenient, yet it is quiet. The property is facing the beach. We took a stroll at night on the sea beach, then casually walked to the airport to pick up mango slice from a grocery shop in front of the t1 gate that too at 10pm in night. Earlier in evening we just took a rickshaw from round the corner to padmanabhan swamy temple that was a short ride. There is also a bus but i didn't explore it. The home stay is very well maintained with good collection of antique furniture. There are sitting benches outside placed between plants. I enjoyed my tea here. One literally feels at home. Arun welcomed us and asked what we needed. He assured us he will provide us airport drop even at night. Appam and stew one of our favorite kerala breakfast was served hot in the dining area. We enjoyed chatting with other guests at breakfast and exchanging our trip details. There was a serbian, a polish girl and another austrian couple who joined us. Earlier evening there was a norwegian couple enjoying their wine sitting in the patio watching the sea. We spoke about our travel experiences, they were amused when i asked them if they were from oslo and told them about my travel to norway. And how i struggled with norwegian phonetics like i do with malyalam. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many european guests. They have a fully equipped kitchen that guests can use for any small needs. We made our own tea to drink whenever we liked. The ac worked well, bathroom has electric water heater. Bed was large enough to accommodate couple and child, room was spacious and full of antique furniture like wardrobe. On my request they arranged a full day tour cab. I visited jatayu rock, experienced elephant ride like a mahut. They held on to my luggage as my flight was late after checking out. It was ones my most memorable stays.

Delightful place — a “home stay” rather than a hotel. The house is superbly presented with great furniture, antiques, great decorations. The staff are very friendly and do everything they can to be helpful, and Nisha Babu responds to every request very quickly. There is a home-cooked breakfast each morning, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. There is a kitchen area outside each group of rooms. They offer a friendly, free shuttle service to and from the airport, which is very local. We stayed here for three nights and would definitely stay here again!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming establishment and wanted to share my positive experience. The cleanliness of the room was impressive, providing a comfortable and hygienic environment throughout my stay. What truly stood out was the warm hospitality of the host. Their friendliness and willingness to assist created a welcoming atmosphere, making me feel right at home. It's refreshing to encounter such genuine and accommodating service. The ambiance of the hotel added to the overall enjoyment of my stay. The place boasts a charming and relaxing atmosphere, creating a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. I highly recommend this place for travelers seeking a clean, welcoming, and pleasant experience. My time there was memorable, thanks to the excellent service and inviting ambiance. I look forward to returning in the future.
