Swastikam Heritage Inn | Rooms & Wi-Fi

I booked this Swastikam Heritage Inn | Rooms & Wi-Fi/guest house to attend a wedding at Payyanur. Another guest at the wedding had also booked at the same guest house in a nearby room and hence I had good company. Swastikam is an old house converted to a guest house and has great ambience and a beautiful, peaceful look. The rooms are spacious and provided with facilities like ac, hot water in the Bath, a nice bed, clean sheets, towel etc. Although the place is peaceful most of the time, during afternoon and early morning from 5-6 (sometimes 4:30 6 Am), there's a loud speaker from a local temple with music, chants etc at very high decibels! Furthermore, since it's next to a lane, auto rickshaws and other small vehicles create some noise. The cleanliness in the precincts, back yard, lobby table really requires attention. So does removal of dust and cobwebs in bathroom etc. However, those looking after the guests are hospitable, kind, attentive and food is local and of good quality. The ayurvedic therapist associated with the guest house is good but there are no massage room in the guest house and one has to go to the clinic, which is at 6km distance for full treatment, although the therapist is available morning and late evening for treatment, remedy etc. Waste management is poor and use of single use plastics is quite high. Since, I had gone for a wedding and sight seeing and stayed totally for four nights, it was ok since it was quite close to where we had to go to for the wedding, reception etc. However, for a traveller who is planning a peaceful stay away from the din of big cities, this would be a big disappointment.

Had a good time at this property during my short stay. Friendly and courteous staff. Clean rooms and decent facilities. Peaceful location away from the Road traffic and noise. Enjoyed my stay.
