We stayed in one of the cottages for three weeks. We liked... - the size of them, very spacious, we're a family of four and there was ample space for the whole family: one double bed and one double mattress and still lots of floor space. Also liked the veranda. -the good location, it takes less than a minute to... More

I was thrilled to get a great room here after staying 2 nights in an uncomfortable room elsewhere. The manager took my reservation, IN WRITING, for 9 nights. He even gave me a discount for staying 9 nights. I checked in on a Friday and was told on Saturday that I had to move out on Monday! The manager told... More

We just spent three weeks in India and have waited to do any reviews until we'd done the whole trip, so we were used to Indian standards etc and could review all the places we stayed fairly.

We reached Varkala late at around 10 pm so did not get much of a chance to look around for hotels. Our driver initially took us to the hotel adjacent to hillview but after seeing both rooms hillview was the clear winner. A great off season rate of 1200 for non Ac rooms, after a little bargaining was the icing... More

This is the first time that we have taken the aid of internet to plan our trip, otherwise, it had always been word of mouth. This time we combined it and decided on this hotel to spend the weekend, which turned out to be a wise decision. We had small children with us so the room size and cleanliness was... More

We spent 4 nights at Hill View. The location was great, close to restaurants of the North Cliff. We had an upstairs room, with a balcony and lovely sea view. Our A/C room was large with the biggest (and nicest) bathroom we had on our trip. That being said, we had some problems with the plumbing in our room which... More

Moved here after two very uncomfortable nights at the Akhil Beach Resort. Rooms were large as was the bathroom and were a good standard (for India and the price we paid) We had a seaview and the balcony was nice. Staff were generally nice and the attached Cafe Del Mar was one of the best restaurants we tried in Varkala.... More
