The River Loom is a fantastic place beautifully set in nature, immediately on a river bank and a stone throw away from the beach. The room was nicely decorated and had everything needed for a short stay. We particularly loved the garden and the terrace with all its beautiful plants! The host and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful! We came as guests and left as friends :-). Absolutely recommendable without reservations!

"My recent stay at Tranquil Home in Trivandrum was truly delightful, especially given its proximity to the magnificent Padmanabhaswamy Temple. What made this stay exceptional was the owner's genuine care and positive attitude. He went above and beyond to accommodate us, making us feel incredibly welcome and comfortable. The warm hospitality added a special touch to our visit, and I highly recommend Tranquil Home to anyone seeking a peaceful and caring place to stay near the temple. A wonderful experience!"

Asok kept in contact from the point that I made the booking to when I arrived at La Casa and where he and his family met me at the door with a welcome and a smile. This continued throughout my three night stay and during which I felt welcomed and comfortable, although not where my privacy was undermined. Asok is a good judge of what people want. Asok made me a lovely breakfast each morning, and I had free access to the kitchen. My accommodation had been well prepared for my arrival. It was clean, tidy, and spacious, and everything, including the a/c, worked really well. The internet failed for a short while, but Asok did everything he could to resolve this with the telecommunications company, and this was dealt with fairly quickly. The internet works well. I often shy away from homestay as I am an introvert, and I dislike staying in someone's home. That being said, staying at La Casa was such a comfortable experience and meeting and getting to know Asok and his family a joy. When I return to the south of India, I would intend to stay here again.

Everything was ideal. The location was perfect being near the Padmanabhaswamy temple, restaurants and so on. It also offered a quiet respite from the busy city as the location is on a small dead end road meaning very little traffic noise. Meenu was unfailingly helpful and kind, making the place feel like a home, and giving the name 'homestay' true meaning. The room was very clean, with a good fan and ensuite bathroom. There is also good reliable internet, and Aircon if you require. It was helpful having a kitchen for making tea and breakfast, and communal space for chilling or working. There was only one other guest around so it felt very spacious. All in all a great stay. Thank you :)
