Super Consigliato
Pros:

Tutto veramente bene comedescritto dalle foto
Camera molto grande con terrazza dove ci si può rilassare ma al tempo stesso incontrare gli altri ospiti
Colazione semplice ma abbondante e fornita nuovamente su richiesta
In una via secondaria ( un pò difficile da individuare ) dovei'è molta quiete ma allostesso tempo vicino a tutti i ristoranti e altri negozi
Staff molto disponibile
A me è stato accordato un late check out con semplicità e senza costi aggiuntivi
Super Consigliato

Cons:

Indicazioni per arrivare a destinazione

Okay, aber nicht außergewöhnlich.
Pros:

Die Lage war zentral und der Balkon mit Blick in dem kleinen Vorgarten war schön. Es kam sogar ein Pfau vorbei.

Cons:

Das Zimmer entsprach nicht den Fotos, es war sehr viel älter und könnte einen neuen Anstrich vertragen. Der Service war freundlich, aber auf das absolut Wesentliche reduziert. Man hat sich nicht herzlich willkommen gefühlt.

Pros:

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, vicinissiama alla spiaggia. Siamo tornate in questa struttura per il secondo anno consecutivo,

Cons:

La colazione è sempre uguale (omelette, toast e marmellata) ma per pochi giorni va bene. Comunque nei vicinanze ci sono svariati locali dove fare colazione.

Value for Money Stay Near the Beach
Pros:

The staff is very flexible and helpful. They assist with luggage and can even prepare food if ordered in advance. There are two staff members, both supportive and approachable.

The hotel also helps with arranging cabs and local transportation, which makes travel easy.

The property is located about 400 meters from Kovalam Beach, making it very convenient to walk to the beach, swim, and return for a shower. The staff is accommodating and flexible with such requests.

Overall, the stay is value for money and a good choice for travelers looking for a relaxed beachside experience.

Cons:

Access to the hotel is challenging, as you need to walk nearly 150 meters through a very narrow lane from the main road. This can be difficult, especially if you’re carrying luggage or traveling with elderly people.

Walking through this lane at night feels uncomfortable and inconvenient.

The furniture and fittings are old and worn out.

There is no lift in the hotel. If your room is on the second floor, you’ll need to climb stairs, which can be tiring.

Pros:

Lokalizacja, blisko do plaży, piękne otoczenie, dużo zieleni, poza śpiewem ptaków, cisza 😉. Pokój duży, przestronny z pięknym balkonem. Łózko wygodne, duże, czysta pościel i ręczniki. W pokoju lodówka. Personel bardzo miły i pomocny, ostatniego dnia przedłużyli nam pobyt do godziny 16 bez dodatkowej opłaty. Polecam gorąco.

Cons:

Czasami rano nie było ciepłej wody, ale popołudniami była zawsze i bez ograniczeń.

Semplicemente PERFETTO!
Pros:

Abbiamo trascorso giorni splendidi in questo Bed & Breakfast a Kovalam.
Le camere sono carine e accoglienti, ma il vero gioiello è il balcone: spazioso, silenzioso e arredato con tavolino e sedie perfette per rilassarsi.
La colazione è ottima.
La posizione è ideale: a due passi dalla spiaggia, dai ristoranti e da tutto ciò che serve, ma al tempo stesso in una zona tranquilla e silenziosa.
Un ringraziamento speciale va a tutto il personale, gentilissimo e sempre disponibile, e in particolare a Robin che è stato davvero straordinario: ci ha ritrovato uno zaino che avevamo dimenticato al ristorante e ce lo ha fatto recapitare a Varkala nel nostro hotel successivo.
Davvero un’esperienza eccellente, anche per l’ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo.
Avremmo dovuto fermarci per due notti e invece siamo rimasti per una settimana!
Torneremmo senza dubbio!

Pas satisfaisant malgré le charme du lieu
Pros:

La verdure environnante. La gentillesse du personnel.

Cons:

La climatisation est très bruyante, le frigidaire ne marche pas, l’insonorisation de la chambre est très moyenne, on entend les voisins. Bruyant. Odeur d’eau croupissantes ou de moisi. L’accès à l’hôtel est très difficile.

Ruhig, sauber, grün, super Personal
Pros:

Superfreundliches Personal! Als es mir sehr schlecht ging, haben sie mich mit Wasser versorgt und mir Medikamente geholt ..und später noch nachgefragt, wie es mir geht, ob ich noch irgendetwas brauche! Ruhige Lage und dennoch braucht man nur 2-3 Minuten an den Strand/Restaurants etc. Sauberes und großes Zimmer mit tollem Ausblick, leckeres Frühstück. Immer wieder gerne :)
