Atmospheric, traditional and kind

It is a place full of character. Delightful staff (limited English with some did not take away from their kindness and personal care). The building is all traditional Kerala, lots of dark wood, and a very amusing lift playing Tamil music. My balcony faced the fires of coconut palms, with birds occasionally calling out, but the dominant sound was the breakers as the beach is 20 metres down the lane. The room was spacious and comfortable: a bit old fashioned so this is not a modern smart business hotel. It is much better. I really enjoyed my stay. The worst thing was the feeble WiFi. Plenty of storage and the bathroom entirely adequate. Its proximity to the beach, the quieter end, is a bonus.

Kovalam Beach Hotel - Not a good hotel to stay in

This may be the worst hotels I’ve stayed in, and if I returned to Kovalam I would definitely not stay here again. I stayed for 4 nights Many things were broken. The safe didn't work, they said it was the batteries, but never got that fixed. The shower did not work (although the tap in the bath did) and every day I told them and every day they said it was fixed and when I went to my room it wasn’t. People would come, try and turn it on, and leave saying they'd get someone else to look at it, but I never saw any actually attempt to fix it. This was completely unacceptable. One of the windows wouldn’t lock and after 2 days of telling them they told me it was because of the air condition unit. Odd as it was nowhere near the unit, and the window close it just needed a key to lock it. I asked for a wakeup call to get to the airport and they didn’t call. Someone called the hotel and asked to be put through to my room, and they took ages to work out which room I was in, and then told the person I wasn’t answering (in fact my phone never even rang). The door was just a thin door, so for a woman staying on her own it felt less than secure. . It’s also down a side road, so walking back at night doesn’t feel safe, I had to ask someone to walk me back Also the hotel backs onto open land and other apartments. It was noisy with dogs howling throughout the night. Nit something the hotel could help, but not a peaceful night! The staff are just slow, don’t understand what you are asking for, and don’t seem to care that they haven’t fixed the problem. Other people I had travelled with stayed in other hotels and they seemed much better.

The staff was really helpfull and friendly. The room was fine, a beautiful view from the balcony. They cleaned when We asked them, but they forgot towels and tolietpaper a couple of times. The Wi-Fi in the room worked for a couple of days, but then stopped working. And they didnt fix it, even after asking several times. The sink and the shower leaked the entire stay. It is very close to the beach, about fine minutes walk to the boardwalk with the restaurants and shops. Overall a good stay, with a few faults. Ok value for the price.

Inget vi kan rekommendera

Hotellet som sÄdant var trevligt och skulle kunna ha stora förutsÀttningar med rÀtt ledning. Bra lÀge pÄ en mycket liten gata, och nÀra stranden. Servicen var dÀremot obefintlig! Lakan och handdukar hade nog varit vita en gÄng, men var nu smutsgula och fulla av flÀckar. Man ifrÄgasatte om de verkligen var nytvÀttade. Likadant med kopparna till frukost. Garderoben var liten, kort och ofrÀsch med tvÄ galgar! Vi föredrog att behÄlla vÄra tillhörigheter i resvÀskan! Badrumsinredningen var smutsig, dammig och full med kalkavlagringar. Duschslangen var trasig. DÄligt med varmvatten. Inget toalettpapper med automatik. Ett samtal till receptionen var nödvÀndigt varje gÄng! De första dagarna fanns en mindre frukostbuffé, som helt försvann senare. Frukost skulle serveras fram t.o.m. kl. 10.00, vilket inte gjordes. Vi skulle ha uppskattat en kyl och en bÀnk för resvÀskan. Rumskostnaden för detta hotell Àr helt klart alldeles för hög, i förhÄllande till vad som erbjuds. Vi bodde pÄ hotellet i 10 dagar, sÄ vi hade möjlighet att utvÀrdera det under en lÀngre tid.

Kovalam Beach Hotell- en pÀrla.

Ett vÀskött hotell med mycket bra lÀge. Det ligger lite utanför den mest turistiga delen och bara ett par steg frÄn stranden. Alla rum Àr bra, en del Àr vÀldigt stora och en del har Àven fantastisk utsikt. Personalen Àr vÀnlig och bemötande. Vi var en grupp pÄ sju vuxna och ett barn. Alla var lika nöjda. Jag lÀngtar redan tillbaka.
