Pros:

Location and ambience was really good. I stayed for 1 week. The staff were really good and helpful. The breakfast was awesome. Do try their famous pancake. Rooms were clean and the balcony was my favorite spot!!! Would love to stay there again if I revisit Varkala.

Cons:

There is no backup generator or inverter in case of load shedding.

Pros:

Location is good and near to beach.

Cons:

There is no car parking facility inside, you have to park the car near by area. Breakfast options are very very limited, so plan accordingly. If you are just looking for a room to stay then you can go ahead.

a peaceful and enjoyable stay with amazing staff
Pros:

The location was nice, just a short walk from the sea. The hotel was clean, and the breakfast was very good. I loved my little terrace with a sea view. The biggest highlight, however, was Arun and the entire staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, helpful, and always made me feel well taken care of.

Cons:

The only minor downside was that the room (Queen Room with Sea View) was a little small and could have offered more storage space for luggage. Otherwise, everything was great.
