Strengths & Weaknesses

  • +
    Rates often fall below twenty five US dollars per night, among the lowest in Alappuzha for an air conditioned room with a restaurant downstairs.

    The restaurant is described by guests as good and affordable, serving Kerala meals and North Indian dishes, a practical advantage after long days on the backwaters.
  • +
    The central position between the beach, the lighthouse, the bus stand and the town makes it easy to walk or take a short auto rickshaw ride anywhere.
  • +
    Free parking suits families and groups travelling by car or tempo traveller, common for Indian holidaymakers in Kerala.
  • +
    Family rooms and a banquet hall make it convenient for group trips and family gatherings, and guests travelling as several families report good stays.
  • -
    The hotel is old, and online ratings are mixed, with some criticism of maintenance and cleanliness. Checking the room at arrival is advisable.
  • -
    Wifi is limited, with some listings mentioning a charge in public areas, so mobile data is more reliable.
  • -
    The hotel is not on the backwaters or the sea, so houseboat views and beachfront atmosphere require short trips.
