We received a welcome tea on our arrival at around 2pm. The owner, Babu, sat with us and asked about our journey so far and plans for our stay Kumilly. He also gave us information of what was available. We let him know that we wanted to visit the national park, do a light trek and catch a Kathakali performance.... More

Stayed at the guest house for one night in March 2013. The owner Babu is extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. Rooms are specious and clean and the price is reasonable. The GH is located slightly off the main city center but within walking distance. Recommended.

El Paradiso is situated 5 minutes walk from bustling local tourist shops and restaurants (on a side road). Provided you are staying at the back of the building, you are not affected... More

We were in Thekkady / Kumilly last week, very close to the Periyar Reserve. The family was charming and helpful. The rooms were great - spacious, clean, hot water showers - and the price was right. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there; sitting out on the balcony was so restful at the end of the day. The family accommodated our... More

Perfect place to base yourself while exploring Periyar Wildlife Reserve. Babu knows it all, best trips to take and will get you organised. The location of the hotel is walking distance to town,cafes and bus station, but not too busy. Our room was extremely clean , and plenty of hot water.
