Detailed Reviews
My Self and my wife approached this Hotel Mahanami on 20th December 2013, for an AC room, the receptionist has said all the rooms are booked and only Heritage rooms are available which cost Rs.3000/-. I have accepted. Meanwhile my wife has over heard from other guests which are seated at the reception that there are bed bugs in the Hotel rooms. When we have raised our concern about this matter to the receptionist, a lady from the housekeeping standing there, has immediately retorted to us if you want to stay, stay. We have enough customers to come this hotel. We were shocked by this instant statement from a housekeeping staff. By this time we already paid our advance money and we were in a hurry to attend an utmost meeting nearby. We have no choice at this moment, since we cannot afford to miss this meeting. I have stayed before in this hotel in 2012, and did had any problem.
I am from Mumbai, and I am from Hotel and Restaurant industry.
Next time I may not got to this hotel if this kind of staff exists. The restaurant staff were excellent and helpful.
I should try Periyar Hotel or Abads Hotel next time.
It is high time to setup good hotels in Aluva for stay. And these hotels must keep a register for customer feed back.
Thanks.

When ever I happened to be in Aluva I stay in this Hotel. easy access to railway station or bus stand. Good thing about this place is large parking plase for bus or other vehicles.
This was a very good accommodation not very costly but affordable, clean and with good traditional food. but lately it has fallen it 's quality a bit . bad management /maintanence , I do not know why?.
They have good facilities for conducting seminars for a small budget programmes. if they revitalise their resources & systemaze the place with more rationalised way this place can be achoice for a short stay

I accidently booked this hotel after checking their website and the review on trip advisor. This is not a hotel worth staying, this is an old pwd rest house leased out by a private group.
The rooms were smelly, bed sheets were full of stains, AC was almost non existent.
The hotel doesnt accept any credit card, they just said that the machine is not working. In Gods own country cards are not accepted at most of the places.
My advice is to avoid this place
One positive aspect is that the staff was very friendly and helpful, they helped us in booking the cabs

Stayed in the heritage rooms - wooden flooring and antique furniture. You get to live where the visiting ministers once lived.
Even though it is right in the middle of the town, the hotel is well insulated from the buses and cars outside. Very serene and calm.
The restaurant is vegetarian, but the room service menu has non-veg too. I had the local specialty of Porotta and Chicken!

I booked this hotel because u don't have much to choose in Aluva and because of its central location. But next time I would drive a few miles than take a room in this terrible place. The rooms are not small but the furnishing needs urgent change. The bathroom is crumbling and not neat. To get a towel was the most difficult part. Apparently due to rains the linen were not dry. So between two rooms and 8 members we got ONE towel. There is a restaurant but don't go there. This is a two star property advertised as 4 star.

Place is neat, though the rooms are a little damp - maybe the monsoon effect.
Food is good, but service shuts down after 10:00 PM. Service is fast and the place has a look of a traditional kerala house, including a sit out with a Granpa chair.

This is a typical traditional hotel in Kerala. One should not come with a pre conceived mind set luxury. The food is typical and authentic Kerala cuisine. The staff is courteous and trained. A touch of professionalism is what the hotel lacks.

Proactiveness still needs to come as the hotel needs to keep the necessary supplies like adequate no: of Towels etc to the guests. Food is okay & needs to be ordered well before. It is located at a centre location with railway station & bus station nearby.
