Location & Location Otherwise average.
Great Location, just a few minutes walk to Varkala Beach and North Cliff. Its Value for money, but rooms are small and bit dated. Bathrooms are small with basic sub standard toiletries. Breakfast buffet is average but Dosa and other south Indian dishes were good. Outside sitting area adjacent to restaurant was covered with a net with bird droppings This property seriously need maintenance and renovation.

Nice hotel but there is room for improvement
I have had a long association with this hotel and always found it pleasant to stay. The location, bang at Papanasam Beach, while at walking distance from the Janardanaswami Temple, is great. The tortoise motif everywhere keeps telling to 'slow down' and live the life of yours instead of zipping around in a rush. That really is fine. The rooms are, as always, well appointed and each room has a great view of the beach and the sea. Kudos to the Architect (Ar. C Muralee of Trivandrum). Poor response was to phone calls from House keeping was anb unexpected jarring nopte in an otherwise most enjoyable stay. The reception has top class staff. Their Operations Manager, Shri. Anoop, was super helpful in arranging our get together, local travel etc etc and his name is worth mentioning here. Possibly one of the best choices in varkala.

Terrible
We was eating on there resturant. It was so bad. We waited oner 1 hour and when the food came it was cold and the meet was so bad that I wouldent give a dog it. When we ask the chef way it was so bad he started angry talk back. I will never go there again.
“Poor Service and Food Quality”
My sister and I are currently staying at this hotel, and unfortunately our experience has not been very pleasant. The service has been disappointing, and the food did not meet our expectations. The Wi-Fi is also not working, which has been quite inconvenient for us.
To give an example, I ordered a simple chicken club sandwich and fresh milk tea. However, they sent a vegetarian sandwich and tea made with condensed milk, which was far too sweet. When I requested a replacement, they only added a few shredded pieces of chicken to the same sandwich, and it still did not taste good. This really shows the lack of attention to detail and care in food preparation.
Overall, the quality of service and food needs serious improvement. I hope management will look into these issues and make the necessary changes for future guests.
Worst accomodation during my entire Kerala 9 days trip.
Shower was full of mould, ants in room and bathrum sink. Requested extra bed in booking, the blanket was full of someone else hair. If you looking for a morning walk next to beach, it is terrible as this place is very busy in morning due to creamation prayer activities. You will not get a morning beach walk vibe. Not recommended at all.
