    Reviews Summary

    Powered by Myra.AI

    The property has a fantastic location, just a stone's throw from Varkala beach and surrounded by picturesque landscapes. The ambiance is peaceful and traditionally styled, adding to its charm. The staff, especially the manager, is often noted for their warm hospitality and helpfulness. Rooms are generally clean and provide a cozy retreat, but there are complaints about small sizes, lack of basic amenities, and dining options. Overall, it offers good value for its prime location despite some drawbacks.

    A good homestay

    donata m.family

    Varkala Palace is a delightful homestay – a tranquil retreat boasting well-maintained, excellent rooms. The peaceful ambiance is commendable. However, the absence of food services, even for essentials like coffee, tea, and breakfast, is a notable drawback. The overall experience is slightly marred by the lack of dining options. Despite this, it stands out as a bit expensive for what it offers.

    Poor Stay

    souvik s.

    Delux rooms are not for 3 adults. Don’t fall into the trap of less price for 3 people in a room. Place is good. But a good place will only take you to 2 star rating when hotel service is terrible

    This is no palace

    denzil p.family

    We had booked 2 double rooms. The beds in 1 of the rooms were so small, we had to switch rooms with our daughter. The bathroom towel rail was broken so there was nowhere to hang the towel. There are no showers in the bathroom and the bathroom is tiny. No toilet paper is provided, not is any mosquito repellent coil, no drinking glasses or water. The only saving grace was radhakrishnan the manager and his assistant who were very helpful and pleasant. This place has a lot of potential, but at this time does not live up to the palace in its name.

    Please be informed that i do not want to publish the rating and want to defame the property/ owners but want to highlight the issues to the responsible authority for making it better. The property was good but the bed was as hard as wood. Linen were good and the cleanliness was substandard. The room was full of dust with spider webs on the ceiling. We consulted a physician in varkala due to heavy sneezing. Bathrooms were tolerable. I can easily compare the bathroom accessories with sulabh sowchalaya and will sulabh on a higher standard considering the quantum of people using sulabh toilets and the comparative hygiene issues. Unfortunately i don't have images and requesting you to highlight the issues with the property owner.

    Not worth the money (even though it’s cheap)

    roopak c.

    I paid 2200 for the room (including taxes. I recently visited varkala many times and stayed at various stays for less than 2000 rupees, from that experience i expected a mediocre stay but to my wonder, the stay was awful. The interaction with the house owner was also terrible. The non ac room was small with a small bed. There wasn’t even a blanket. The toilet was really awful. Just looking similar to government hospital toilets. I have seen far better rooms for cheaper prices, that’s why i’m writing such a bad review.

    I guess the professionalism is lacking at varkala palace. It feels more like home stay. Wireless router is not reachable to your room. We had to leave early at 3:30 to visit padmanabhan swamy temple. But there was a lock put at the main gate. We had to wake up the caretaker who felt bit irritated. There were also some unknown locals visiting the place in the evening arguing themselves. Overall architecture of the house is from old time which looks very aesthetic to eyes but its a homestay and not a hotel.
