Kalkulam Hotels

"Our room with a/c and ceiling fan, contained a large bed, tables, chairs, fridge, kettle and sink with separate toilet/ wet room. Settee outside on the verandah, large ground space from where you can view the sea, restaurant, promenade. Nice helpful staff. "

"This is a no frills hotel - good for a quick overnight stay. On a busy street and no ocean view. But it worked for us because we walked early morning for the sunrise views - it's another story that there was no sunrise view because of cloud conditions. "

"Restaurant excellent for evening meal. Check-in experience good. Noise from alarms and building works annoying. View from room directly into incomplete rooms or another constitution site. Room small compared to other Indian 4* hotels, although much cheaper too. Location slightly out of town, close to sunset point."

"Great view, but was a VERY CROWDED Weekend."

"Clean Room big room nice location Breakfast needs improvement Helpful staff"

"Chakra cottage had aesthetic interiors and very spacious even for a couple with small kids. Seeing sunrise in the lake from the portico was wonderful. Staff were really courteous and friendly. Spa was great too. Overall it was a lovely peaceful experience just an hour drive from Thiruvananthapuram. "

" Overall good experience Couple of noteworthy items 1. Misleading listing Beach is NOT PRIVATE 2. Shipping Port The port right next to the hotel with the ongoing construction work (which went on even through the night) is noisy and is a blotch on an otherwise scenic sea view experience"

"Bedsheets were not changed before our arrival. We had to ask twice for them to be changed. Room was comfortable but not clean. Attention to detail would make the stay that much more enjoyable. "

"Good value and location,needs a bit of TLC"
