Its a great place in town if you love food and beverage in the evenings. The service in the lawns is awesome! We used to go there with friends once we are in Calicut. But its a great place for family too. You can enjoy your meal and watch beach which is right across a road. Hospitality also good. I... More

This place is such a nice colonial era bunglow but very badly maintained by the management. Its very sad to see how this place is being run irresponsibly. We visited here in June month with our 1.5 yr old baby and wanted to stay on the beach only. So, this is the best option out of only two beach hotels... More

We had a big and beautiful room upstairs, with ceiling fan, mosquito net and a windowed varanda to the sea front. The hotel could do better if it made a small investment, for it has a fab location and a beautiful building and furniture. It isnt cheap, though (3000 INR). We had dinner at the garden, which was crowded with... More

I liked the situation, overlooking the seafront. I liked the heritage buildings and the furniture and the gardens. Our upstairs room was large and airy - the a/c did work for the two nights we were there - and I liked the big table and chairs on the glassed-in balcony. All the windows opened and the sea breeze blew in... More

We had a ground floor room-a/c not working for the first night but they did get it working for the second night. The hotel had potential but as other reviewers say, there is so much room for improvement. Prices are a rip off for what you get-not to mention the 20% ish extra luxury tax. It certainly should not be... More

Bar none, the worst service - uncommunicative, inattentive, disrespectful and the second floor room with glassed in balcony room was tired, and dirty. The front desk staff at check in was more interested in interacting with the young men milling about than checking in overnight guests or returning passports. Another 'staff member' spent his time trying to get us to... More

This hotel, which should be wonderful considering the history and pleasant appointments, is banking on its past glory and not providing decent service. We checked in to find a large and pretty room -- but the sink in the bathroom was falling off the wall and the room was infested with mosquitoes (even under the netting on the bed!), plus... More

The room cost 4707 rupees including all taxes, for 3 people. 3000 for the room plus 1000 for an extra person. Why 1000? They keep a spare bed in all the rooms so it's no extra hassle. The most we paid for an extra bed anywhere else in Kerala was 300. We had an early flight so wouldn't be able... More

The hotel is the former British Malabar club and my room certainly reflected this, large spacious and airy with fan and a/c a double bed with full mosquito tent and a huge bathroom with victorian fittings which look like something from Nemos Nautilus. Outside the room I had a private screened patio with fan. I ate in the lawn restraunt... More
