I recently stayed at Calicut Palm Residency with my family in July 2025, and we had a mixed experience. The staff were extremely polite and helpful throughout our stay, and the hotel's central location in Calicut city was a major plus. The rooms were clean, but the size felt congested, with limited space to move around the bed. This was particularly challenging with kids. Unfortunately, the design wasn't kid-friendly, with numerous sharp and pointy edges on the TV unit, wardrobe doors, bed, and side tables, posing a risk to our little ones. Additionally, the king-size bed seemed to be made of two smaller beds joined together, which could be hazardous if kids were to jump on it without knowing this. Despite these drawbacks, the staff's hospitality and location made our stay pleasant. With some improvements, I'd still consider staying here again.
