This hotel is centrally located in Thiruvananthapuram, great for vegetarians like me. It's perfect for traveling around the city easily. The rooms were of 4-5 Star Standard with international channels, but some should have never been rented in the first place. Service at the reception desk was good, but staff there were not trained to handle luggages. The location is near government offices and accessible to a shopping center, with the zoo close by. The dining experience allows you to sample various foods, but the breakfast buffet was average with poor service.
