Sankars Homestay - Thiruvananthapuram

After reading a lot of reviews on Trivandrum hotels, my husband and I chose to stay at this hotel for the first few days of our stay. By the reviews we were expecting a real budget-looking/feeling hotel, but we were really pleasantly surprised. Although one of the lamps was missing a shade, it was very clean. The room itself was fairly large with ample space for storage and the bed comfortable enough to sleep well. The service was really customer-oriented, which I've come to expect when traveling in India. The food in both the restaurant downstairs and the buffet on the roof were quite decent. The location is great--close to a lot of shops and restaurants. I recommend this hotel because for the low price tag, you really get a nice space and great service.

We had a great time at this hotel, the service was very friendly and mostly on a timely manner. They were very accommodated of most of our needs. Kids loved it and we had a splendid time. The hotel security guys were exceptional and very helpful.

We are a family of five. We stayed here for Christmas and were all very pleased with the resort. The grounds are immaculate and the property ideal. The resort is very private, located on a hillside with stunning views of the sea. The beach is clean and the landscaping lush with hammocks in view of the sea and sunset. Food was great. Staff wonderful. Full ayurvedic spa on property. Daily yoga classes, evening ones outside at sunset. Christmas Eve was fun. It rained hard for a full two hours late in the afternoon and stopped just before the entertainment program with dancing and fireworks was set to start. The thatched cottages are simply furnished, but clean. We all agree that we would go back to this resort. It was a complete getaway. Felt totally relaxed the whole time we were there.
