Aranmula hotels from HK$82

"Yes"

"They could offer cold bottled water for guests on arrival. Need to provide soap at sink in bathroom. "

"The hotel had no food or amenities. Did not even have a breakfast of any kind. I have never been to such a hotel. "

"Room was clean and spacious; hot shower available; quiet"

"Clean room and courteous staff."

"This is a very basic 1 star hotel. There are no pictures of the bathroom for a very good reason. Absolutely dingy and disgusting. Bathroom was small, had a stained toilet and a bucket with no enclosure for bathing. Bedrooms are small and again, very basic. Looks even less than in pics. "

"The room was good. The house keeping had to be called a couple of times to get the TV working as there was no professional available then. The room service was highly priced and the quality was not all that great. "

"Good reference to knowledgeable driver for sightseeing "

"Initially we booked a standard AC room but upgraded to a deluxe AC room on the 2nd floor which has been constructed newly. The room had ample space with a small balcony as well as with TV and a small storage cupboard. The room, attached bathroom-toilet was clean and the bed linen as well as towels were clean. Provision for tea/coffee in the room was available. A table chair would have been nice. Nearby dining options are available. The not-so good reviews are mostly due to the standard rooms on the first floor. Overall, a decent budget hotel close to the Kayamkulam train station with friendly front-desk staff who can arrange transport to visit nearby places."
