We loved this hotel, on a small quiet street within walking distance of the old town and a stone's throw from the sea. The room was lovely and big, the staff were helpful and courteous. The food was some of the best we had in the two weeks we travelled through Kerala! We booked our driver Manuel through the hotel and he was great. He looked after us for the rest of our holiday finally dropping us at the airport. He couldn't have been more helpful, friendly, polite and interesting, all in the right amounts! We would highly recommend both the hotel and Manuel!
