Alappuzha hotellia

Plussat: Excellent

Plussat: Very nice traditional place to stay for few days and enjoy the vacation.

Miinukset: None.

Plussat: Super deluxe rooms are excellent. Views are awesome. Swimming pool and recreation facilities are good. Complimentary boat trip is excellent

Miinukset: Location was bit far from kochi city. Deluxe rooms are bit small.

Plussat: Beautifully located in a quiet resort. Very good food and friendly staff. Nice.

Plussat: Vegetarian food is good, but it is good in all India. Sea food dishes was realy poor, and overcooked.

Miinukset: Welcome was not pleasant at all. We booked the queen room with one double bed and one single bed, lake view( most expensive available).But at the arrival we were given a diferent room , with only one double bed, and facing other vila. I asked a person who welcomed us, how we 3 are going to sleep in one bed? He replied, that he will bring a foldable bed, which is ‘LIKE A GOOD PROPER BED’ I asked him was it a joke? And i said the i have paid for a premium room, and that we are not staying in it. So he went to talk to other staff member, who replied that we will be getting another room after 2 hours. So the issue was sorted. But not in a proper manner.

Plussat: This place is magnificent! Quit, peaceful very charming. Highly recommend for maximum relaxation. Stuff was outstanding, king & helpful. Room was very convenient. Private balcony to the backwaters. Food at breakfast& other meals at the restaurant were really delicious. Very good ayurveda massage!

Plussat: Beautiful location, hidden away nice and quiet. Pool was really good.

Plussat: The location.

Miinukset: Bugs in the bedroom.

Plussat: It’s a truly unique place, quite magical. Rustic atmosphere, very lovely and comfortable, excellent food prepared with great care. The grounds are beautiful, with a butterfly garden and picturesque quarters. And large colorful turkeys strolling about!The staff couldn’t be nicer. You know this will not be a typical hotel the minute you arrive at a tiny dock and wait for the boatman to ferry you across the canal to the entry gate.

Miinukset: The bathrooms have an open skylight covered by a screen above the shower. When it rains a lot the bartheoom floor got quite wet. Probably only an issue in monsoon season.

Plussat: Amazing trip, loved the boat, it was big, clean and the food was outstanding, I would fully recommend anyone who wants to sleep overnight on a boat to use this company. Its not cheap, but you get what you pay for, it was worth the money!

Plussat: The boat was perfect as were the staff. It was a really relaxing 24 hours in beautiful scenery.

Plussat: The food was superb. The boat was very nice and the staff excellent.

Miinukset: For the price, being one of the more expensive house boats, the interior could have been a tiny bit better, but it really didn’t change the amazing overall experience - it’s still a lovely boat.

Plussat: Nothing not to like, everything was fabb!!!!!!

Miinukset: Boat for 2 it is fabulous !!!!! So quiet and charming ,the view during the trip is amazing . Everything is fabulous but this is first of all because of the staff who was fantastic. Chef is fabbb,food was really tasty,caffe was amazing .

Plussat: The on board staff and facilities are top notch. It's a great, relaxing boat trip. The small canoe trip we were given was a great little addition. Food is great and staff are super nice. Overall, exactly what we wanted from our houseboat.

Miinukset: The route is pretty mundane. Most of the time is spent around the lake area. Almost no time in the canals and really interesting, relaxed areas. Though I assume this is the standard for the houseboats, would be nice if the route could go off the beaten track. Also a large amount of boats on the river running this route. Lastly, it's not cheap....

Plussat: The luxury experience of the private houseboat. Well looked after and great facilities

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Spacious private house boat, very clean, delicious food, very nice and welcoming staff. Amazing views of the river

Miinukset: The arrival to the location and check in area should be improved. It gives you a feeling of a 2 star place, but when we entered the boat, the impression changed.

Plussat: The staff was super friendly and helpful, food was great

Miinukset: There was nothing in particular I disliked

Plussat: The lake front and general layout.

Miinukset: Kerala style toilets. Boat cruise through backwater slums. Food quality was average without much choice .

Plussat: Lake facing sitting area. Play area for chess, table tennis, shuttle were well maintained. Very clean premises.

Miinukset: Breakfast was only average with very little choice of dishes. There was no buffet for dinner and karimmen pollichethu (as suggested by hotel staff) we ordered was was way below our expectation.

Plussat: Its a very well designed resort with Heritage values every where. Every thing was soooo good that i will try to come and stay here every year. Property, Staff, food, facilities.. everything is up to excellent mark. Salute to all team and the people behind it. I will suggest this resort as the first best in whole Alleppey. Being an architect i like the complete design of the resort, its heritage concept with all wooden classical interior. Food was too good and the captain and the staff of restaurant was very carrying and humble. Front desk staff was also super. all facilities were up to the best quality mark.

Miinukset: nothing. nothing, nothing, nothing, noting, nothing.

Plussat: The place is serene, the grounds are extensive, right on the water. There is a lovely restaurant, the pool and the massage facilities were great (highly recommend massage). The hotel kindly offered chai hour and an hour boat ride which were highlights of my calm stay at the hotel. The staff were wonderful too, trying to accommodate and very helpful/kind.

Miinukset: Upon checking-in I would recommend asking if there is entertainment scheduled for the evening(s). The hotel booked a group for a reunion, there was a Dj and the works. It was one night and they did stop at 10:30. But for three hours the party was bumpin' and ABBA and Indian beats were plentiful. It would have been nice to be warned about this ahead of time as I came to Kerala to relax from the loud and noisy Mubai.

Plussat: To approach the Hotel you need to cross the backwaters by canoe. Location is good. Staff arranges transportation anytime you need to go out or get back. They are courteous and helping.

Miinukset: The heritage type wooden door of the room looks great from outside with a vintage locking system. However There was no handle to the door of the room from inside . Only Tower Bolts to lock the door from inside . When you have to open it , you need to pull by the bolt knob . Electrical Switches in the room are not in good shape. On the day we stayed , the weather was cloudy . Probably because of it ,in the evening there were plenty of insects including mosquitoes outside the room. There is no Indoor restaurant or Dining Room . Dinner / breakfast is served either in room or you can have it in the courtyard. Better to carry insect repellent when you stay close to backwaters. They have limited food options for Breakfast / Dinner. In the night Houseboats get anchored near the Hotel and they sometimes play Music in Houseboats .

Plussat: Location on the backwaters was really good. Staff was nice. We had the opportunity to eat outside a quality dinner. Room was as expected and clean.

Miinukset: Only issue is the arrival at the empty (not really clean and welcoming) reception and check in process. This being said it was fine afterwards.

Plussat: Good ambiance and pollution free atmosphere

Miinukset: Room size

Plussat: The staff attitude they have really made our stay comfortable so thanks to manager vimal care takers nidhin and vyshu . We wanted a early check in at 9:30 am which they allowed graciously and also as our train was in the evening we wanted extended checkout so they agreed to it gracefully

Miinukset: The prices of food were bit on an expensive side for e.g. traditional kerala veg meal 350 rs dosa staring from 85 to 120 curries are generally at range of 250-280

Plussat: Great river facing location. Friendly staff, Decent breakfast. All rooms facing the river.

Miinukset: Your site says 4 people to a room.. Max 3 possible in that room. Please ask for dimensions before deciding the occupancy. TV Channel inoperative at times

Plussat: It’s facing the lake

Miinukset: It’s difficult to reach the resort

Miinukset: Guest room and the restaurant need new flooring. Bathroom needs some work.

Plussat: We got upgraded to lake view rooms. Rooms were beautiful and facilities were good.

Miinukset: Staff made us wait a lot for multiple things

Miinukset: Super costly food, no hot water because of some solar issue.

Plussat: Good stay But the property is getting old. There is a lot of wear and tear

Plussat: Very clean and neat rooms. Very Welcoming host. Matthew uncle was always there to help us with all facilities auto cab sight seeing arrangements.

Plussat: Nothing

Plussat: The location, next to the beach, was excellent and we could go for a refreshing stroll on the beach in the morning. The complimentary breakfast was well cooked and fulfilling and the lady cooks did a very nice job. Overall a nice experience.

Miinukset: Two out of the four rooms we booked were non AC and didn't have flowing hot water in the bathrooms. They provided it in a bucket. Both these should be taken care of in the future.

Plussat: The front facing three ac triple rooms...cleanliness...staffs and beach access.

Miinukset: The non ac room...water lodging in open space..mosquitoes..

Plussat: firstly the owner of the property Mr Mathew was exceptionally good and overwhelming .He ensured that our stay was excellent and he guided us for the places of visit and more importantly he was so kind enough to extend our check out time and I really appreciate his kind gesture and I strongly recommend every one that this place is a must visit in Allepey Once again Sir thanks a lot for your hospitality and help Ragards Sandeep and Sangeetha

Miinukset: None

Plussat: The location is superb and place is very cute. The owner, cleanliness, breakfast n staff were very good.

Miinukset: The bathrooms were very small but they were very clean. There was no hot water available for bath which they can easily provide.

Plussat: Good location..Morning breakfast was good.

Plussat: Hotel Location was good. break fast was very poor. Lunch Ok!!

Plussat: Rooms and view good.night time prevent insect ..swimming pool and view good.spa and prices are good.single occupancy prices little high.if double occupancy prices are ok.atmospheres is good

Miinukset: .night time prevent insect .improve the breakfast ...single occupancy price should review

Plussat: Great breakfast, nice rooms. Value for money

Plussat: Swimming pool and location of cottages. We enjoyed the lot in swimming pool with natural rain. At night lot of rain falling with too much wind.

Miinukset: Overall its a good experience at Back water side swimming pool and Cottages

Plussat: 1860s colonial house reputedly visited by Gandhi and Nehru, with charm and character. Friendly staff. Two great restaurants onsite serving delicious food, sizeable portions for reasonable costs. Interesting beach to walk around. Tuk tuk to centre 80-100 rupiahs.

Miinukset: Our front room was a little damp, but this may only affect these rooms which are more exposed to weather affects. Overpass has been built but not completed, so no construction or other noise. Does not impact on enjoyment of staying here and price is exceptional with great breakfast included.

Plussat: Everything! Outstanding staff, cottages clean, large, great plumbing. Location perfect directly opposite beach and next door to Indian Coffee House. The restaurant serves great food. The heritage furniture and the communal areas are beautiful and couldn't be more relaxing.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Manager staffs everything is well

Plussat: The hotel is authentic and really beautiful.

Miinukset: only my flush was not working properly

Plussat: Break fast was good, location good coz it was next to the beach. The lady at the front office was very helpful, service staff very good and rooms were outstanding.

Miinukset: I wish Omanakuttan the back office staff, was a bit more polite while explaining about the documents required for my wife who was a Philippines national.

Plussat: Spacious with very traditional furniture which was interesting. Room was large and clean.

Miinukset: Flyover virtually outside the boundary - not yet in use as further construction is taking place, but visually not attractive.

Plussat: Lovely colonial feeling hotel - staff helpful and obliging The pool was a pleasant surprise and very much enjoyed Food in restaurant good and reasonable

Miinukset: Who put that flyover ( still unopened) there? What a shame for local businesses

Plussat: Very relaxed atmosphere and very clean hotel . The pool was clean and the surrounding and facilities good

Miinukset: The staff were obliging but didn’t make any effort to engage with us . The curries were a little westernised for my liking

Plussat: Breakfast was ok. Staffis friendly.

Miinukset: Dirty room.

Plussat: The only good things that can be said about this hotel (if you can call so... more of a lodge) is that a) the host is really friendly guy with local knowledge b) that the property is at walking distance to the beach if that is the primary concern c) huge room d) 2 bottles of water were given complimentary

Miinukset: The general condition of the property clearly shows an old building in desperate need of an upgradation. a) Rooms are old and has a funky smell with bloated and broken paints b) No proper locking system for the main door of room - If someone used pressure, the door could be opened easily c) a huge gap on the bottom portion of the main door of the room d) mosquitoes in unbelievable quantities (would be an understatement if I said there were atleast 50 when we entered the room at checkin) - The host gave us a repellent but it turned out to be ineffective e) No TV - when asked, we were informed it had complaints and was given for repair and they dint have a spare one which meant restless kids driving us crazy f) No provision for hot water in the entire "hotel" - this is the funniest part with ice cold water running from taps and young kids who were not used to it meant unthinkable g) the ceiling fan in our room was covered with moulds and an inch of black dirt and dust h) worn out bed sheets with holes and stains i) only furniture in room other than 2 double beds were an old desk and a single seater sofa with stained and worn out seat cover j) Towels were provided upon request which again showed signs of extensive usage but no other complimentary toiletries.... I could keep going but you get the picture right. This was one of the worst hotels ever to be chosen by us and one terrible night... Am not sure if there were bed bugs also since the mosquitoes did a great job at eating us alive and was difficult to say. If you are looking for a night to hangout with your friends and booze (which seemed to be our neighbours), this might be fine but with family and kids, definitely not recommended. Had I not paid in that much money in advance, I would have cancelled the whole deal and looked for other options which , by the way, are plenty in that area and don't be misled by the ratings. I would have preferred a rating of 1.0 to be given to this hotel personally.

Plussat: The staff and location was great. Really nice beach. They had a bedroom with two double beds for us and our kids and it was spacious.

Miinukset: The room hadn't been cleaned properly, there was food crumbs and dust accumulated under the beds and the bathroom had a permanent smell of seweage. It was not comfortable staying at wind n waves with kids.

Plussat: Staff are great and the location is very convenient close to the beach. Great day excursion can be arranged from the wind and waves. We loved the canoeing in the back water villages !

Miinukset: Some noise from passers by at night.

Plussat: They organised the canoe backwaters trip for us and a driver to Kovalam after our stay which was appreciated. Very close to Alleppey beach and the great Cafe Catamaran restaurant.

Miinukset: The rooms smelled of damp and were unclean, particularly the bin in our room had a very nasty thing in and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. Compared to other places I have stayed in India for a similar price, it was not a very nice room and poor quality. The staff were nice enough but you had to seek them out and the service wasn’t as good as other places I have stayed in India.

Plussat: Clean rooms, friendly staff, backwater tour they have arranged was nice. Wonderful stay. Near to the beach. Good wifi

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: friendly and helpful staff

Miinukset: cleanliness of both the kitchen area and the bathroom was below ok.

Plussat: Nthng
