Set within 700 metres of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple and 4.5 km of Napier Museum in Trivandrum, RAMAS GARDEN provides accommodation with seating area. The bed and breakfast, set in a building dating from 1995, is 2.2 km from Ayurvedic Medical College and 2.5 km from Trivandrum Railway Station. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and currency exchange for guests. The place is super pretty, the rooms are clean, there is a nice variety of choices for breakfast (indian vs western), and the greatest highlight was William, he really went above and beyond to make our stay as good as possible, we first arrived close to 00:00 and were super hungry and he made us some coffee and bread, he coordinated taxis for us, truly a super recommended place for your stay in Trivandrum.

Featuring garden views, Areca Nest provides accommodation with balcony, around 600 metres from Gokarna Main Beach. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are available at the farm stay free of charge. The accommodation offers a shuttle service, while a bicycle rental service is also available. Everything! Wonderful relaxed energy amongst a beautiful garden. We stayed in the balcony room, which was a peaceful oasis and our room very comfortable with so much space. Ankit was a wonderful host, making sure we were very comfortable, restocking our room with water and soap and also offered to drop us to our night bus which was very helpful and kind. The property is a 2 minute walk from the beach, great location and in a quieter part of town, which is perfect if you like Shanti vibes ❤️ Great cafes and restaurants within walking distance. Thanks Ankit 🙏🏼 we hope to be back one day 😄

The Hostel Stories, Varkala - Helipad Road in Varkala provides adults-only accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

Popular points of interest near the accommodation include Varkala Beach, Varkala Cliff and Janardhanaswamy Temple. Thiruvananthapuram International Airport is 40 km away. Fabulous! This has to be one of the best, if not the best, hostel that I stayed in during my travels. I do not know where to begin in terms of describing just how amazing my overall experience was. The hostel is only a month or so old so everything is, as one would expect, brand new. Setback from the road you're away from the noise and traffic and yet still only a 5minute walk to the bustling cliff area. The dorm rooms are a good size with comfy beds, privacy curtains and individual lockers. The whole place is spotlessly clean. There's a lovely chill out area upstairs with a well appointed kitchen where you can either cook for yourself or buy a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner for around RPS150. The garden is a delight to sit in and isn't really overlooked either. What makes this place complete are the brilliant team; huge thanks to Vikram and Pintu who made me feel so welcome and provided so much fun and laughter. Book it now before it's too late!

Situated in Gokarna, a few steps from Gokarna Main Beach, Revibe Beach Hostel Gokarna features accommodation with a garden, private parking and a shared lounge. The accommodation offers free shuttle service, and luggage storage for guests. I liked the location, right next to the sea and then all the nice people and the welcoming and friendly staff. Liked the dormitory and comfy and clean beds. Liked the jam session we had and a lot of conversation with the other guests and travelers. Also they have food and drinks on the spot and reasonable prices

This bed and breakfast features free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. The location is ideal! I walked from the Inn to all the major tourist sites in Fort Kochi as well as loads of restaurants and cafes. I was traveling as a solo female and felt entirely safe at this property and its surroundings. The host, Shaan, was beyond helpful and available to assist before, during, and after my stay. Wifi was strong enough to stream tv shows. Breakfasts were excellent and prepared with variety daily. Rooms were clean, cool (great a/c!), and bug free.
