Its refreshed rooms offer contemporary appeal, while its location at a key intersection in Kottayam makes it a practical base for exploring the region, including the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary. The extensive banquet facilities are a real asset for business travellers, though some past experiences suggest inconsistencies in service.”
