Guest as saying

I would rate this stay 2 stars at best. Considering the price—close to 6,000 per night—the level of comfort and overall experience fell well below expectations. The property brands itself as a 4‑star hotel, but it is nowhere close to that standard.The breakfast spread was quite limited, and the food quality was just average, nothing impressive.The biggest issue, which is not mentioned anywhere on their website, is the severe pigeon problem. The balcony was covered with pigeon feathers and droppings, and even the windows were dirty with bird waste. This made it unpleasant to even open the balcony door, significantly affecting the stay.The location is also not ideal. While it is near the beach, the area is crowded and not very clean. It did not meet expectations for a peaceful beachside experience.Additionally, I was informed by the staff that the property is around 17 years old, and given its condition, the pricing feels unjustified.Overall, not worth the price being charged.

We visited Varkala to perform annual rites of our parents. Since this hotel is very close to the beach it was the perfect location. While the staff at the restaurant etc was courteous, the food quality was excellent and the rooms were clean and nice we found that the staff at the reception were over smart and with an an intention to fleece customers. They tried to overcharge us inspite of having fully paid for the accommodation. So just a caution to the guests who visit via online platforms to keep all your booking records with you else they may try to extract more money from you

The hotel is okay just because of the location but the facility and service is pathetic. The air conditioning is very bad we had to change rooms multiple time and settle because they had nothing better.
