We came here after two discontented nights in another nearby hotel on the beach. We spent a few hours looking at just about every hotel and homestay on the cliff strip, and chose this one for several important reasons. It was clean. The rooms were cool without a/c. The ABBa restaurant just in front is a happening place with great... More

We stayed for two nights in a room with a balcony overlooking the sea. The view is beautiful and the sea breeze is coming in so you can listen to the sound of the incoming waves, there really isn't any need for the AC. Our room was clean when we arrived but wasn't cleaned at all during our stay. We... More

The Green Palace Hotel is right in the middle of the cliff in Varkala so the position is ideal. Our room was fairly basic but quite spacious and we had air con which we really needed. I would say the only thing that wasn't great is that we needed more storage space. We stayed for a month and some good... More

Perfect place to stay in Varkala. Great for a solo traveller. Excellent location, room very clean and constant supply of hot water. Good value fro money. Near two great restuarants and a stones throw from the beach. Would definitey recommend.

The pros: 1. Excellent location. Just a few steps from the beach entry. 2. I was given Room No. 302. Had a brilliant view of the sea from the balcony. The room was spacious for our 3 member family. Had all basic amenities like TV, AC, etc. - in working condition. 3. The stretch of the beach near the hotel... More

We originally were booked for the Puthooram Ayurvedic Beach Resort. Well one night of the mold, damp shag carpeting, decor (Las Vegas circa. 1950), crying babies (the walls don't go all the way to the ceiling), the gross bathroom, etc. and we were out of there. After traveling through India, we wanted someplace clean - we weren't too fussy. We... More

Stayed this month May 2012. Let me say the good things about this hotel first, LOCATION. It's right on the cliff and very easy to walk down the cliff to reach the beach. Very next to the best restaurant Cafe del Mar. Room was clean and A/C was working. Now the worst part. Hot water was not working. Color of... More
