Good stay at hotel

8.0

The rooms size are medium, the staff is polite and helpful. We stayed for one night Food in the canteen is not good. There are plenty of good restaurants outside hotel Overall the hotel location is good near to the Padmanabhanswami temple. Easily get auto from outside hotel which will drop to the temple from their walk to the temple gate.

Unprofessional and rude staffs, staff are having very cheap attitude

2.0

Unprofessional and rude staffs. The hotel is looks clean from outside but the rooms are very dirty, all the staffs are very unprofessional and with cheap attitude, non of them are focused to guests and they are busy with their own things, non of the staffs are approachable, i could not even see a single smile face.... Very local staffs, Rooms are very dirty, bed sheets were dirty and found too many hair on pillow covers and found urine on toilet cover.... Not recommended, we will never come again.

Dirty

2.0

From the outside it looks like a nice hotel but the rooms are not clean. When the cupboard was opened there were cockroaches inside. The corridors has dirt that had been swept up and arranged in piles. There was no hot water available and on enquiry was told that there s was a problem with the circuit board and that we would get hot water in 5 minutes but that didn't happen. We booked this hotel because we wanted to stay close to the temple and it had good reviews. I will NEVER stay in this hotel again.

Overall O K

4.0

We stayed as a family for 2 days. Normal small room for small family. Essential facilities. Pest control must need, bed sheet, bed cover, pillow cover new as time to use (not reuse), sealing, tiles, main door maintenance required, All the rooms can be improved. What is special is that it is a place where most of the travel facilities are readily available.

Very helpful staff made for a great stay.

Old establishment, well maintained centrally located. Whatever the shortfall is more than made up by the very helpful staff. My mother & I visited hotel in the month of September. We had a great stay. Special mention to those manning the front desk, the house keeping staff & room service.

A comfortable mid range hotel with terrific location

The KTDC Grand Chaitram, Thiruvananthapuram is a government hotel which provides quality services at affordable tariffs. The hotel is located in the centraI Trivandrum which is the older part of the city on the main road. The Trivendrum Central Railway Station is right accross the road and Thampanoor Bus stand is adjacent to the hotel. Yet the road is remarkably congestion-free and quite. You won't hear street noise in your room. This part of the city is very well connected to all other parts of the city. The drive to hotel from airport took around 45 minutes. Please remember that Uber & Ola are available in three or four large cities of the state. The checkin was fast and we had to wait for around 15 minutes before we were ushered into our room. We stayed from 30th May to 1st June in superior room at fourth floor . It contains a sitting room and a bed room. The rooms are spacious and have all amenities. The laundry service is fast and reasonably priced. Though there is definitely a huge language barrier, the staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and house keeping is good. A small private parking is available. The food quality and the buffet breakfast spread are average. A quicker response to service requests is desired. The location is top notch. Most of the tourist place like Napier Museum, Zoo, Aquarium, Art Gallery, Kanakakunnu Palace, Science and Technology Museum, Planetarium etc. are within 5 km. The temple of Padmanabhanswami is around 1 km away. If you want to eat out try Aryaas Park (veg) 50 m and Azad Hotel 500 m away. One can go to Pothy Textile 500 m away for shopping clothes.
