The property is very clean. It’s near the train station and in a quiet neighbourhood and is easy to find! The caretakers are very kind and helpful!!! It has two floors and the balcony is very cozy! Washrooms are clean and hot water is present!
It’s 15mins walk from the beach! So pretty close!

Such a cute, colorful place with amazing hospitality, we absolutely loved our stay.
Pros:

The property is artistically designed and so beautifully maintained. Every corner of the place has thoughtful details. The colors, paintings, and art give it such a vibrant and cozy vibe.

It’s also located very close to Varkala Cliff, which made exploring super convenient.

What made the experience even better was the hospitality. The hosts were incredibly warm, polite, and welcoming. They were always smiling and happy to help whenever we had any questions or needed anything, which made us feel really comfortable throughout the stay.

We truly loved the vibe of the place and had such a pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and peaceful stay near Varkala Cliff. And if we ever visit Varkala again, we would absolutely love to stay here again❣️

Cons:

Nothing!

Pros:

The staff were amazing! Responsive, helpful and friendly. The property is in a quiet and peaceful spot, perfect place to unwind from travel. The room was spacious and clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The bed is very firm, nothing major, just something for others to note if they prefer soft beds.

Weekend Getaway
Pros:

This would be a great property if someone's looking for a homestay, it's just a 12 min walk to the cliff. The host is very sweet and the rooms are pretty comfortable with a vibe.

Very good
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful people. The location is very nice and in a calming place.

A sink and a mirror in the bathroom would be nice. Also a little wardrobe to store some clothing could help.
