This hotel is literally ON the beach and simply amazing. We had a room on the top floor and the views of the Arabian Sea were stunning from the huge windows. In addition, the rooftop restaurant offered equally mouth-watering food and views -- it was simply fantastic. The swimming pool looks out into the sea as well. The rooms were... more

I stayed at this hotel by accident really - my original booking was disastrous and I ended up here, luckily!! The recaption staff are so, so helpful and will go the extra mile for you.The restaurant is very comfortable with delicious Kerala dishes and outstanding service from very efficient waiters. The rooms are extremely comfortable with all luxeries including beach... more

Great location in Varkala with great sea views from some of the rooms. I was upgraded to a side (suite?) room which had both large side and frontal windows. The room was immaculate and the general service good for this price hotel. Some of the front desk were extremely helpful and friendly; others lacked knowledge of local things when asked.... more

This was a perfect break in our adventure of temples and spiritual journeys. We were RIGHT on the beach (which is unique, because all of the other hotels are actually up... more

We stayed at the Hindustan for the last three nights of our beach holiday in Kerala so we could be right on the ocean. Seeing this is an oceanside beach resort which cost us UD$500 for three nights we thought it would be a fully equipped, professionally run resort but this was not the case. We'd just come from the... more

Our room was clean, very large (although we never used the adjacent sitting room), and we had a great view of the ocean. However, the Hindustan felt a little sterile (lacking that Indian charm) and it was not in a great location (way at one end of the beach and not up on the cliffs). If we had to do... more

This was the first hotel of our first holiday to India and was a great place to start. Great position at the south, lower end of Varkala and overlooking the fascinating religious activity on the beach. Very welcoming, attentive staff with relaxing & comfortable room with huge picture windows. We had dreamed of a simple Christmas dinner of Keralan veg... more
