A friend and I made a very last minute booking and stayed two nights at this atmospheric old house in Alleppey. We were made very welcome and although our room in the main house was a little dark, it was very clean and was full of traditional old furniture making it feel like a cehrished home rather than a tourist...

We stayed at the main house at Theravada heritage hotel in january 2012. We arrived before check in after a very overpriced taxi drive from the train station (should cost NO more than100 rupees- lesson learnt!), and the very friendly gentleman let us leave our backpacks in the front office. We paid r2000 a night - breakfast was charged extra... More

The main house is 100 years old and the traditional style of architecture means some of the rooms are bit on the dark side, but all are comfortable, if basic, and the place is full of character. It’s a very relaxed, calm place. Good location; just a bit west of the centre of town and east of the beach –... More

Simple and sweet old heritage home. Seems to attract nice guests as well. We were placed in one of the detached apartment rooms not in the house itself and were disappointed by how depressingly ugly it was. Going into the main house for breakfast, we started to get a taste for the charm of the place and why it had... More

The hotel is good. I think the only downside is they do not have a kitchen - food comes from outside and is thus cold by the time it gets to the table!

A group of friends went on an unplanned trip, fortunately it was off-peak season and we managed to get two rooms at Tharavadu Resort. Right from the entrance it enchanted us with the old bungalows, the village setup with small water channels, etc. We took one AC room and one bamboo cottage (non AC). The dining area is also well...

A group of 8 of us stayed for one night during the low season (early april) and we then had two nights on a houseboat organised by the hotel (boat operated by Cosy Tours). Because of the time of year we booked the rooms and the boat last minute and got good prices compared to guide book estimates and other... More

We booked this resort via the net and we got a very nice deal. They gave us the driver's cell no and sent him to pick us up at the station. We had a nice drive to the resort and the room allocated to us was very neat and quiet. We had an extra bed for the kids too. The... More

Spent 3 nights here while in Kerala. The hotel is an old colonial bungalow furnished with antiques. Our room was cool, clean with a basic en-suite. Good choices at breakfast served on the open veranda. Easy walk from the beach and a short rickshaw ride from town. The owner arranged a house boat stay and our trip to Perriyar and... More
