Set within 700 metres of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple and 4.5 km of Napier Museum in Trivandrum, RAMAS GARDEN provides accommodation with seating area. The bed and breakfast, set in a building dating from 1995, is 2.2 km from Ayurvedic Medical College and 2.5 km from Trivandrum Railway Station. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and currency exchange for guests. Great location by the temple and close to the airport. Clean room. Great breakfast. Everything was exactly as described. By far the best aspect was the manager and all the staff. Extremely helpful, kind and helpful. The manager helped me with options for my plans, found out and let me know temple opening times and I was able to keep the bags there a few hours while I explored the area. When I thought I had lost something he helped me look for it and that was very reassuring. All in all, a very good choice.

We really enjoyed our comfortable room and our stay at Seacoast Inn. We even had a kettle and decent size cups, and access to a fridge meant we could buy teabags and milk and make unlimited cups of tea, something I really missed on my travels in India. Breakfast on the roof was lovely too.

Set within 700 metres of Marari Beach and 44 km of Kochi Biennale, Marari Beach Bungalow Resort Alleppey features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Mararikulam. There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. This 4-star country house offers private entrance. This was by far the best place we stayed at in Kerala! The entire staff was very kind and welcoming, and it is visible how well they work as a team. The service was excellent, the rooms are spacious, sparkling clean and high quality finishes and furniture, and the entire building is designed with the best taste for architecture and interior design. Congratulations and hats off to the owners! Besides the accommodation, the landscape of the garden is inviting and relaxing, having kept the original trees layout and hence the nests of all kinds of birds that enchant you with their symphony before the sunrise. We had access to the pool in the evening after our arrival and it was very relaxing. There were also some fireflies flying over our heads while swimming. Food was extraordinary! Such unusual flavours we could have never imagined...We had kingfish with curry & lemon rice & aloo gobi masala - simply delicious. We had the privilege to meet the cook herself :) We had great conversations with Joseph, the hotel manager - a kind-hearted person, and also with Ramesh, part of the staff, who was very kind to explain to us different aspects of the Indian culture. Sounds like a fairytale but it actually happened and we will definitely come back here if we get the chance!
