Hotel berhampiran मेल्पदोम MAR थोमा चर्च, Alappuzha

Excellent location, beautiful facade, good photography points. They have a lot of activities - some chargeable and one can just spend a day here. They also have family game evenings which is a perfect way of mingling with fellow guests while have fun. However, there was no water arrangement and we were told by hotel staff that we need to go to the restaurant to get water bottles. It would have been ideal to have basic amenities arranged when arranging events or call the restaurant to send some bottles ! The property of this size and beauty needs to be maintained. Mosquitoes especially around the pool were a big put off. Minimal lighting especially around the pool did not help either. Surprisingly they do not provide pool tubes/ floats, but ask guests to purchase it ! Staff is courteous but not prompt. So much so during complimentary high tea, the staff moved out while the guests were still sitting at the end. Rooms are very ordinary- no decor or aesthetics. Mattress are sacking, and double bed has 2 different mattresses making the bed uncomfortable in the middle. Food is very average, buffet menus for various meals are not lavish. We wanted to opt for Ala carte at dinner, but were told it will take atleast 30 mins prep and we had to compulsorily opt for buffet. Most of the dishes required refill during buffet time which the staff was not very prompt at and had to ask the staff to refill it. We had to wait for 15-20 mins to get Kerala Paratha. To conclude, a lot is left to be desired. Given the beauty this property encompasses, I wonder if it was run by a better management like Taj, etc. , it would have been one of the finest properties around.

This property is exceptional. Location wise it's too good. The property owner takes excellent care. Breakfast is served which is delicious. Enjoyed every moment at the property owner of the property is soft spoken and helpful

Very, very good hotel. It’s four star with a high end five star service and a three star price. The staff has been so helpful and correct in every aspect. Rooms top notch. Bathroom the same. The in-house restaurant “Rasoi”: what a delight. With again a delightful staff. Every dish we had was excellent, be it Indian or Western. After a four days stay we are sad to move on. It may sound over the top but every word is true.

We booked this property just for a day. As soon as we stepped into this property, it was very clean & very well maintained with an excellent & friendly staff. Mr. Lajji who is the owner was very friendly, down to earth & humble. He catered to all our requests & the manager & the staffs too were also very helpful. The rooms provided were no less than a 4* property. Spic & span, well maintained & the bathroom was quite spacious with 24X7 running hot water. Located close to the alappuzha beach & many ayurvedic centers. A must stay in Alappuzha!

Perfect service by owner and staff, a/c room with good amenities, beach is very near, both balcony and ground-floor rooms are neat and clean, happy to stay again
