Set within 700 metres of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple and 4.5 km of Napier Museum in Trivandrum, RAMAS GARDEN provides accommodation with seating area. The bed and breakfast, set in a building dating from 1995, is 2.2 km from Ayurvedic Medical College and 2.5 km from Trivandrum Railway Station. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and currency exchange for guests. A really great surprise for a close to the airport hotel. Exceptionally clean and helpful staff. Even cooked an early breakfast for us. Everything in the room worked and was in great condition. One of the greatest value places we’ve found in India. Also close to a temple.

• Nestled along the Coromandel Coast, The Leela Palace Chennai stands as the city’s only oceanfront luxury palace hotel, offering breathtaking views of the Bay of Bengal. Spanning 4.8 acres of serene landscapes, this architectural masterpiece seamlessly blends regal grandeur with world-class hospitality. Nicest hotel that I have stayed at in India. Beautiful common areas in the hotel, great restaurants and fantastic view from the room. Room was large, and very thoughtful design. Very happy with my choice, and was also able to spend a nice day relaxing by the pool!

This bed and breakfast features free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. Located on a quiet alley in Fort Cochin this hotel is a new beautiful oasis. The facilities are great with a good breakfast included in a roof top room. There is a really cute lounge across from the breakfast room, a comfortable way to relax at the end of the day. The rooms aren't huge but large enough to feel very comfortable. The bathrooms are very modern and I liked the rain shower from the ceiling and a shower curtain to keep the room dry. The hotel is walking distance to all Fort Cochin tourist sights. Shaan the owner is friendly, welcoming and helpful. Our last morning I couldn't get Uber to work to get to the airport and Shaan helped us get a taxi. I highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Cochin!

Located in Kollam, 300 metres from Kollam Beach, Prasanthi Hotel features views of the city. With a garden, the 3-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. There is a restaurant serving Chinese cuisine, and free private parking is available. I loved everything about Prasanthi Hotel. The rooms and common area are well designed and stylish. The room itself was decorated very nicely. Comfortable bed. Clean towels and linen. The bathroom was very nice. Great water pressure. Nice shower. Really, the attention to detail was what made this one of my best stays while travelling India. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The location is excellent. Not even a 5 min walk to the beach. The breakfast was superb. Everything was great down tige well maintained greenery around the property. The dinners were delicious. The wait staff were very friendly and quick to make suggestions and share the specials. I would’ve happily stayed longer had time permitted. 10s across the board.
