I liked the situation, overlooking the seafront. I liked the heritage buildings and the furniture and the gardens. Our upstairs room was large and airy - the a/c did work for the two nights we were there - and I liked the big table and chairs on the glassed-in balcony. All the windows opened and the sea breeze blew in... More

We had a ground floor room-a/c not working for the first night but they did get it working for the second night. The hotel had potential but as other reviewers say, there is so much room for improvement. Prices are a rip off for what you get-not to mention the 20% ish extra luxury tax. It certainly should not be... More

Bar none, the worst service - uncommunicative, inattentive, disrespectful and the second floor room with glassed in balcony room was tired, and dirty. The front desk staff at check in was more interested in interacting with the young men milling about than checking in overnight guests or returning passports. Another 'staff member' spent his time trying to get us to... More

This hotel, which should be wonderful considering the history and pleasant appointments, is banking on its past glory and not providing decent service. We checked in to find a large and pretty room -- but the sink in the bathroom was falling off the wall and the room was infested with mosquitoes (even under the netting on the bed!), plus... More

The room cost 4707 rupees including all taxes, for 3 people. 3000 for the room plus 1000 for an extra person. Why 1000? They keep a spare bed in all the rooms so it's no extra hassle. The most we paid for an extra bed anywhere else in Kerala was 300. We had an early flight so wouldn't be able... More

The hotel is the former British Malabar club and my room certainly reflected this, large spacious and airy with fan and a/c a double bed with full mosquito tent and a huge bathroom with victorian fittings which look like something from Nemos Nautilus. Outside the room I had a private screened patio with fan. I ate in the lawn restraunt... More

Beach hotel is located in a very beautiful site just opposite to the calicut beach. We had gone there for dinner. The restaurant is not clean and hygienic. Table cloth not clean. Tissue papers and cigarette stumps all over the place. The food was tasty but not worth the price. Went with Friends. More

This was a friendly hotel, which was able to accommodate us on very short notice. We had a giant room with beautiful old furniture, very high wooden ceilings, and a large private windowed porch/balcony overlooking the beach/ocean. The A/C worked great and the the shower was very hot once it had a chance to warm up. The room was very... More

Horrible place! The room was musty, damp and dusty. The beds smelled awfully damp. The restaurant tablecloths and napkins need a good wash. Terribly run down. Staff are friendly enough though the place itself should be totally renovated. Not worth the cash. More
