            Decent Hotel, Good Position”

            Helpful Staff, Decent Rooms

            Stayed for 4 nights, arrived early morning 1st night and staff happy to check in and provide room straight away - always great when tired from a long journey! Hotel is decent, good pool area. Didn't use the restaurant but many did and it seemed ok. Plenty to do in the area and good eating places nearby. Rickshaw to Trivandrum for around R$300 (or less), takes 20 - 40 mins depending on traffic. All in all a good peaceful stay at Hotel Marine Palace

            Location

            The location of the hotel is prime. The view of the beach and the sea from the Royal Suite terrace is unobstructed. Room service was prompt. No elevators in the hotel, so you will have to climb at least 3 floors of stairs if you book a deluxe room. Restaurants around the hotel has better dining options.

            Ok, hotell, a little too expensive to be in India, even though Kovalam is more expensive. The Ac did'nt work from time to time, a lot of blackouts. Dirty towels but easy to get new ones. No problem with the staff or cleaning ladies. Food ok.

            Sea views on the second-floor room

            hotel is located very close to the lovely beach, and taxi service is available conveniently. the room is relatively small, but there is a balcony. i didn't like the restaurant - too dark and too slow, but can find some nice dining places on the beach. the rates were quite high in chrismas season. worth of it? maybe not.

            An overpriced (not clear whether overcharged by hotel or booking site) ordinary small hotel with substandard breakfast with out any choice. Many large and better hotels with lots of facilities are available at same location either at same or little bit more price.

            Dear Guest Thank you for your review and noted .As you are aware tariff will be high in the month of Dec. We have our own restaurant with swimming pool and Beer parlour. if breakfast was not according to your palate you could have opted for different food, Many large and similar properties are around us and we are competitive in service.Guests come to kovalam to enjoy the beauty of sea and have little time to enjoy the facility in any hotel. we wish you happy holidays again

            Rooms were not cleaned, AC was not working and complained on the same, but no result. Room are small, bathroom was very bab, bathroom taps were not proper. I recommend please avoid this hotel as I explained horrible situation.

            hotel correct a prix abordable”

            situation, prix modere, cuisine correcte

            Hotel bien situe avec des chambres ayant vue sur la mer mais pas trop pres ce qui permet de ne pas etre gene par le bruit des vagues, assez fortes. L'hotel est un peu vieillot et ses peintures meriteraient une bonne cure de rajeunissement. Restaurant correct pour le petit dejeuner mais sans vue sur la plage. Bref, un hotel correct pour le prix mais ce n'est pas l'endroit reve pour un anniversaire de mariage ou pour epater sa petite amie.

            Leider etwas heruntergekommen”

            preisgünstig

            Das Positive vorweg: Das Personal ist sehr bemüht, aber teilweise überfordert. Preislich ist das Hotel günstig. Zum Strand keine Minute zu laufen. Dieser ist allerdings nicht wirklich toll. Aber: Der Pool war - trotz Zusage - bis zur Abreise nicht nutzbar. Er war "umgekippt" und eklig. Die Zimmer sind unteres Mittelmaß, selbst für indische Verhältnisse. WiFi ist nur in der Lobby zu empfangen. Dem Hotel gegenüber ist ein Tempel, zu dem die Gläubigen mit lautem Gebimmel gerufen werden.

            war für den Standard gut, Klimaanlage zu emphehlen, da hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit

            I have been to Kovalam for several times. This time it was my boyfriend, me, and my mother. The staff was really nice and the rooms were nicely clean which is not taken for granted in India. The Marine Palace is perfectly located for the beach and walking home after an evening in one of the beachside restaurants. We would definately book there again.
