Hotel Samudra (KTDC)

Hotel is not so far from the railway station the location was good also the hotel was very good the rooms are up to the mark. Staff are very co-operative and the services are very good so I will definately suggest this hotel to my family.

This hotel location is excellent any the location is the best in kovalam. The hotel resort is nicely decorated. I have booked delux type room. Room was very good. One flat scren LCD TV was in my room.Sea is also visible from every room of the hotel.food quality of Breakfat, lunch and dinner was excellent but the cost of the food is bit high. In every evening hotel authority arrange for a live performace program by local artist. You can enjoy your dinner with this program.Hotel and the rooms were very clean. Overall very good experience.

The water in the bathroom was very unclean and muddy in color. On complaining the hotel staff simply said it is due to some problem in their water tank. We could not even take bath.

The location of this hotel is awesome. It is on a small hill that overlooks the ocean and the beach. The landscape view from the room is breathtaking. The pool is great. On the downside, since it is maintained by the Kerala government, the service is not great. The complimentary breakfast buffet is nothing to write home about. The check-in experience seemed like going to a government office for getting some official work done. The staff are indifferent at the reception. On the other hand, whenever I called house keeping for extra towels or any issues, they were prompt. The pool and the hotel grounds are very well maintained. The hotel is not quite value for money in the peak season. The rooms are outdated and need updating. There is no Internet access. The air-conditioner is central and we did not have much control over the temperature. The temperature controls in our room were set to the lowest cooling and it was still a little warm. We had to turn on the fan to stay cool.

The location is good but the food quality is not up to the mark.
