India: hotel con servizio colazione nella provincia di Kerala

Ieri ho avuto un ottimo soggiorno presso Holiday Inn. L'hotel era molto pulito, ben mantenuto e creava un ambiente molto confortevole. Un riferimento speciale a Sanika, che era estremamente amico e attento per tutta la mia permanenza. Il suo professionalismo e la sua approccio caldo hanno reso l'esperienza ancora migliore. Ho anche apprezzato l'eccellente follow-up dell'hotel, assicurandosi che tutto andasse bene. In generale, un soggiorno davvero piacevole e soddisfacente – altamente raccomandato!

We recently stayed at the O by Tamara. Excellent experience overall. Loved the personal and welcoming service from everyone and special mention to chef Vipin. He was extremely friendly and helpful. Thanks to the entire team.

OVerall a lovely hotel and super nice staff at reception. Rooms are very spacious and nice comfy beds. Slight communication error when we asked for a tuk tuk and he took us to somewhere we hadn't asked & good job I has my google maps to recognise we were headed to wrong place! Pool is lovely for a swim and nice to have complimentary drinks at 430pm too with a little snack, the games area upstairs was fun too but just very hot up there.

È a 10 minuti a piedi dal centro della città e si può mangiare molti negozi. Se siete puri vegetariani, andate a molti dei ristoranti Pure Veg incredibili e a prezzi accessibili vicino. Inoltre, si può trovare un sacco di scimmie all'interno del resort che è bello perché non si può trovare nessuno sulla strada. In generale, è un hotel decente ma ho prenotato tardi, quindi ho dovuto pagare un premio.

I was weary about booking as the website photos looked quite tired. All of the photos are really old - it was an amazing stay and so much better than I expected. I enjoyed the complementary pottery making and the tea cart in the afternoons. The food à la carte was absolutely delicious. I avoided the buffet a bit as I do in all hotels. The pool is clean and there is excellent service, with staff helping you with towels, umbrellas, and drinks. The rooms are really pretty. Good air con. The gym is good and has air con although the air con is not as powerful as in the bedrooms. The gym has two treadmills, a static bike, basic leg press, weight rack and bench, and some of the arm/shoulder machines too. There were only a few downsides. 1) The beach that it backs onto is actually quite gross (there was nappy in the sand and gunk that looked like sewage), but it’s easy to avoid this. 2) The beach has a real drop from the sand into sea so it’s not very safe to swim in unless you want to be smacked against the bank. These two things don’t matter though as the hotel is lovely and there is enough to do that you don’t need to go on the beach. 3) I booked 2 nights in one booking and 1 night in another booking. I asked when I booked the single, third night, whether I can keep the same room. They said they’d let me know at check in.  They didn’t let me know at check in. They said they’d tell me on the second day in the day, but nothing. I kept asking at reception and I called them on the phone twice, and they kept saying they’d call me back. It was 9.30pm on the night before I’d have to move rooms before they told me I could stay. I’m not really sure why it took so long or they messed me around on this as 3 of my exact rooms were available on the website for those nights, so by that logic it would not have been a problem!

Sidra Pristine Hotel & Portico Halls I recently stayed at Hotel Pristine Sidra and had a mixed experience that leaned more toward the positive, though with a few disappointments. Reception & Check-in: Our stay started on a slightly sour note. We arrived early from Bangalore, hoping for an early check-in. While I understand that early check-in is subject to availability, the reception staff was not very accommodating or helpful. Despite waiting for over three hours, we weren’t allowed to check in even 30 minutes before the official 2 PM time. The staff at the front desk seemed rigid and unwelcoming, with “No” being their most frequently used word. This part of the experience definitely needs improvement. Breakfast: On a brighter note, the breakfast was excellent. A good variety of options, fresh ingredients, and great taste made mornings enjoyable. It was one of the highlights of our stay. Swimming Pool: The rooftop swimming pool was a letdown. It’s quite small and not well-maintained, which was disappointing considering the otherwise decent amenities. Location: The hotel scores high on location. Situated in the heart of the city, it offers easy access to metro stations, train services, and other key areas, making it very convenient for travelers. Housekeeping: Housekeeping was good—the rooms were clean, and the staff was prompt and courteous in their service. Overall Experience: While there were some excellent aspects like the breakfast and location, the poor reception experience and underwhelming pool facilities brought down the overall impression. I’m happy with the stay overall, but I wouldn’t choose to return, as it didn’t quite meet my expectations.

I am very impressed with the hotel. Everything was really really good. Very friendly staff who were ever willing to help . I enjoyed the food like never before . to be honest how ever hard i try to find a fault with the food i would be a failure.

La condizione dell'hotel è inferiore alla media. La camera e le aree pubbliche sono meno di media. Il servizio in ufficio frontale è piuttosto buono, professionale e amichevole. Il banchetto serve caffè con latte premiscelato e questo è molto strano, devo chiedere al personale se ho bisogno di una tazza di americano, e ci sono voluti più di 10 minuti per tornare e consegnarmi.

For the premium pricing, the value proposition is lacking. I would recommend the management to seriously invest in upgrading the rooms, amenities, and overall infrastructure to deliver a better and more future-ready experience. The amenities feel stuck in the past. If the property wants to stay competitive in 2025 and beyond, they definitely need to revamp and modernize their offerings
