The Woodlands Hotel

I was redirected to a different homestay because they had run out the rooms, and the homestay folks charged more than what the hotel would charge. The home stay rooms have no ac, tv nor do they provide any towels, which is the most basic pre-requisite when you are renting a room! Pathetic experience. (This is not a review of The woodland hotel but a guest house nearby)

PS: I couldn't find the other homestay on maps, so I'm leaving a review here. I've stayed in better rooms for far less, as a property owner myself I wouldn't charge 3k for a room which has no amenities and reeked of cheap glue. Before you charge anywhere over 3k you must ensure that the room has an AC, an electric kettle, towels and a working fan, not just concrete walls. Had it not been for the people I tagged along with, I would not have agreed.

The rooms and the customer services provide was good. The hotel provided parking facilities , TVs and the rates were also affordable.

Hygiene is good ... well maintained but the only thing is rooms are vwry smaalllll

I stayed in the hotel for many days in different spells this month. Very comfortable stay in an executive AC room. Room and bathroom sufficiently spacious. Daily housekeeping was very good. Staff were very cordial and rooms are well maintained. A classic hotel of olden days, still keeping the tradition. Want of restaurant is the only minus point, but there very good restaurants nearby. An additional tube light, if provided would be appreciated by guests who want to read and write.

Pros-
-friendly staff
-cooperative
-everything is walkable and is in the main hub
-no disturbance at night
-large parking space within the hotel

Cons
-we took two rooms. One was filled with mosquitos throughout the stay(2-3 days)The other was mosquito free.
-not clean
-stains on sheets
-old infrastructure

Good ambience and location for stay at Kalpetta. Liked. With restaurant facility and lift, the stay would have been marvellous.

It's nearer to Kalpetta old bus station and 2 mins walkable. Room was ok but little bit smells and i didn't opted any services as am not sure whether service was there or not.With restaurant facility and lift, the stay would have been good and they can look into it. As I have opted a non ac room and it's budget friendly for rs 1400.

Lights in the rooms are not sufficient. Absence of a restaurant causes much difficulty even for a bed coffee. Otherwise the Woodlands, Kalpetta is comfortable for middle class.
