I am shocked to read that anyone gave this place a good review! The staff was friendly and helpful, but that is the extent of the good things I can say about this place. The rooms are small, the bathroom was dirty and spartan and there was mildew galore. The restaurant food is mediocre at best, but has a nice... more

Krishnatheeram is a beach resort located in the South Cliff (Thiruvambadi Beach) of Varkala. It was my first visit to Varkala and i was amazed at the cliff and the beach. Krishnatheeram was a very relaxing place to stay, right on top of the cliff, facing the arabian sea. I loved the kerala style decor and the architecture of the... more

I have just come back from a beautiful holiday in varkala. The hotel Krishnatheeram allowed us to have a perfect stay: Black Beach was not crowded at all and a very well organized ayurvedic centre was near. Staff has always been kind and helpful. Room was clean and fresh: we did not need to put on our AC. Food was... more

We were told by our agent that all rooms were the same so were on a 'standard' booking - we checked in and were taken away from the little villas to a block of rooms more like a staff area - no air con, no fridge, no phone, no tv. We asked to be moved to a Delux room and... more

We stayed here for one night on our way to Allepelly. Our flight into Trivandrum did not arrive until 4.30 so we decided to break the journey and was recomnmended this hotel as a good choice for a stopover from our travel agent. Having paid £60 for a deluxe room, I expected a room of a resonable standard. more

Excellent location close to beach but the hotel is overrated in terms of the claimed 4 stars. Also hotel beach full of builders rubble, rubbish and general filth. more

After first having booked another place in Varkala, I found this resort and immediately moved. No doubt this is the best place to stay - located just away from the busy cliff with access to the smaller and less busy beach- great garden with fabulous view and a recommendable Kerala cuisine. The friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere made my short... more

Nearly missed this hotel as it's not listed with other hotels in Varkala! We had a great stay and even returned for a few days after touring. The hotel is situated at the quieter end of the cliffs of Varkaka, closer to the smaller fishermans beach (which is much easier to get onto) than the main Varkala beach. We had... more

The property is located in Varkala, which we knoew nothing about other than it was close to the airport in Trivandrum. Well, what a find. No big resorts, just a bunch of small, seemingly locally owned hotels all perched on a redrock cliff, that meanders for about two miles. Besides the uninterrupted views of the ocean, punctuated by the occasional... more
