Poor service and not comfortable

Rude front office staff with zero courtesy! Rooms very hot, AC not good. No windows!! No exhaust in wash room! Over all horrible. Not good for business travellers. I won't stay here again or recommend to anyone. May be good for wedding reception guests who don't need to stay but just need a room to change etc.

This is a 2 Star Hotel with US standards

Bed sheets and towels are very old and stained. There is no tissue in the room. While hotel staff are nice but not many speaks English. Which is unusual for India. It is a 2 star hotel with US standards.

Not the worst, but very far from the best

Overall the hotel is Ok for the price. The staff was friendly, even though the bus boys/ serving helpers clothes were dirty sometimes. The room had antique furniture, was spacious and seemed cleaned upon arrival. However, the first day housekeeping did not clean the bathroom, they just made the bed and replaced the towels. This was corrected for the duration of the stay after I mentioned it to the front desk. The hotel breakfast was complimentary ( traditional Indian breakfast) but offered limited choices. The restaurant/buffet prices were overpriced, very overpriced. The hotel sits right on the edge of the town, which for a foreigner is a little bit inconvenient. My friends whom I visited stay at Hotel Aida, which is in the town, cheaper, newly renovated and is in closer walking distance to the shops. Windsor Castle does sit on an extraordinary piece of property. If the hotel was renovated and there was a place to sit and enjoy the view of the review, this place would be marvelous! If you are looking at Windsor Castle, you should be looking at Hotel Aida.

A conveniently located hotel for our quick visits

The hotel appears like a castle from the highway , a few kilometres away from Kottayam towards Thiruvalla.The staff identified us and our check in was very smooth and we were escorted to the room along with our baggage.We covered Muvattupuzha,Pala,Kanjirappally,Kottayam,Thiruvalla,Chenhannur ,Omallur and Eraviperoor, visiting our relatives while enjoying rain and the lush green of the interior of Kerala. We could also visit a famaous pilgrimage centre at Mannar called Parumala Church. The hotel served as accommodation for our visits.Before leaving, we took a round of the exterior of the hotel to enjoy the garden and the panoramic view of the lake and the scenery.
