This is a B&B located in a spooky road with no street lights. There isn't a single shop or restaurant within walking distance and you are totally dependent on the hotel itself. The hotel itself has quite poor service and the staff do not hesitate to decline anything extra you ask for. Definitely avoidable if you ae travelling with family,... More

The place has run down on facilities and service since my last visit a year back. The bathroom flush isn't working, the basin water doesn't clear up, the wi fi isn't working, the kitchen staff are totally uncooperative. The staff has no service orientation and will not bother to return service calls. Poor stay.

I list a few below - Disrespectful owner - Horrible hospitality and the way guest is treated - Location sucks, have to walk to get to the main road. No good restaurants or shopping locations near by. Only positives - Rooms are ok - Cook is very courteous Overall verdict... More

The laurels is located in the posh residential area of Kotturpuram very close the Govt Library and some corporate biggies home. The rooms are trendy, comfortable, spacious and though it may not look very new in the beginning but i don't... More

It is a very nice and comfortable hotel in a quiet residential area, with very clean, modern but cosy rooms. The staff are very welcoming and thoughtful, and the owner is very helpful for organizing transport,etc. The food is excellent for very reasonnable price.
