Varikatt Heritage , thiruvananthapuram

A great place to stay. We stayed two nights and loved it. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Centrally located. Tuk Tuk at the front gate. Lots of places to eat around. But Molly’s cooking is fantastic. Roy and Molly made us feel right at home, nothing was to much trouble. Roy has some great stories to tell. The house is a story itself. Highly recommend staying here. We hope to be back.

Beautiful historical colonial property, right in the center of town with a lovely garden.

And don't miss Roy's amazing stories before going to sleep. He is an amazing story teller. We enjoyed this stay a lot.

Probably the worst place to stay ( and I am used and aficionada of India), I ended with a broken vertebrate because they do not clean. I slipped on a plate of fat in an alley of the garden and could not even get up as the floor was greasy. Result : end of the holiday , medical repatriation and three month of orthopedic brace. And the owner insisted that I pay before going to the hospital! Plus, being very closed to one of the main road, it is awfully noisy. Last but not least, there is two v...
