Guest Reviews

• Parsu (2/5): - Very poor management and service Except the Breakfast people
• Shylaja (8/5): - Overall stay was good.
• Shankar (10/5): Good stay - Comfortable stay for a night.
• Pad (8/5): - Very helpful and very professionally trained staff. Went out the way and helped elderly folks
• Gonasagaran (6/5): - Restaurant let this place down. It was poorly run, the food was very disappointing and the staff were easily distracted. The breakfast bakery goods were stale
• Mike (10/5): - LOcation
• Navaratnam (6/5): - The Property nothing to about about, had basic amneties, and the Environment outside was poor
• Benjamin (2/5): Extremely disappointed and frustrating - Firstly, the hotel pool is closed for maintenance - not mentioned on the website or in any emails. Secondly, our room smelt of cigarette smoke (especially the bathroom, which was generally grubby and very dated) and the smell was worse after the room was "serviced". The main issue was how unhelpfully the staff handled an issue about laundry service. We needed to wash some clothes but when we asked about this, the reception told us they didn't do laundry (despite it saying the opposite on the Hotels.com page). The next morning, we were told that actually they did do laundry and they would get it back to us the next evening. However, after an hour of nagging the reception desk that evening, the man who claimed to be the manager, arrived with our still-dirty clothes. They refused to offer any discount/refund other than a free dinner (this happened at half 9 so we'd already eaten) or a 3 minute taxi to the train station. Overall, they did not take our issues seriously and misrepresented their facilities online.
• Ashwin (10/5): - Great experience!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Good place to stay - Room was clean. breakfast, nice and varieties Courteous staff 1+1 drinks offer for resident guests
• Kulpreet (8/5): - Super!
• leslie (8/5): - Location was great, easy access to shopping, grocery and restaurants
• DURGA PRASAD (10/5): - Fantastic and cooperative staff. Food offered is good. Bar is really affordable. As I could not climb the stairs due to excessive heat; front desk came down to deliver my luggage and settle the bill. Beautiful gesture. Was offfered discounts at every spend was again a Pleasent surprise especially at the buffet dinner. Chef made some good onion snacks. Very good for business as well as family stay
• Vineeth (10/5): Very Good - Excellent place to stay, good parking and great support staff
• Naresk (8/5): - Good property but approach to the property is very difficult very hard to find this property
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Nice hotel, even according to Western standards. Unfortuntately I was told that breakfast was included - but had to pay for it the next morning. Staff shall be trained better accordingly.
• avani (4/5): Not a pleasant experience 😞 - When I arrived at the hotel It was very dark at the reception counter and I had to wake up the desk person to ck me inn ....... I was not comfortable going up to my room but at 1am in the morning I had no other choice but to go up to my room. I couldn’t stay there longer cause I went to the bathroom and it was full of flies ..... so I took quick shower and cked out with in two hours .
• Verified traveler (4/5): Short stay - The check in process was very cumbersome and given language issues added to the same. The room size was decent, however the furniture is very old and not maintained. The washroom had a foul smell and needed maintenance. The linen was old and smelling too. Overall not a hotel I recommend. The service at the restaurant was very slow.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Well located hotel. - Staff make this hotel good and service and helpfulness are strong points. Just one niggle: the piped music is repetitive and awful. Let's have some classical Indian music!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Close to atttractions yet relatively quiet. - We had a lovely welcome at 05.00 and were shown quickly to our room. The room was as expected, clean and spacious and with a/c which kept us cool. The hotel is centrally located for attractions and shops but in a back road which was relatively quiet, away from road noise. All staff were lovely: very polite and helpful. The restaurant food was delicious at breakfast, lunch and dinner and was clearly prepared carefully for everyone’s well-being. The rooftop pool was refreshing and where else can you swim with kites flying right over your head? I think we had borrowed their drinking pool for a while and they were checking us out! Overall, a good choice to acclimatise after a flight and although slightly overpriced I would not hesitate to return, especially as the food was good value for money.
• giorgio (8/5): vecchio hotel - Hotel vecchio stile,luci tristi,bagno vecchio e malandato.Totale assenza del Wi-Fi in stanza. La piscina è priva di lettini e asciugamani,non illuminata.
• Alka (8/5): Great short stay - Great hotel. Breakfast was amazing with great varieties. Location is good too with easy access to local areas. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Comfortable stay.Close to railway station bus station
• Verified traveler (10/5): good hotel and good location - decent
• DEVRANJAN (2/5): Worst experience of lofe - Had booked the hotel for my parents, but the AC was always set at 22°c resulting in great discomfort in spite of repeated reminders .. to add to it parents were charged an additional time for availing pick-up from the hotel while it was already paid for..
• Mikael (8/5): Centralt hotell med bra service - Bra hotell ur Indiska mått. Lagom centralt och bra service. Hotellet har tom en liten pool på taket.
• Rajpraveen (10/5): - Wonderful experience and nice staff good environment for family
• Mani (10/5): A clean business class hotel - I like everything about this hotel. The room, the staff and the morning breakfast were up to our expectations. In addition to that, the hotel sales manager, Vishu went extra miles to meet one of our special requests. Thanks much!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Safe for women travellers - Very good, very courteous and hospitable staff
• murti (8/5): Good stay - Staff was very helpful and pleasant
• Mary (10/5): Great one night stay - Location to train station is excellent. Rooftop pool is a unique facility here in Trivandrum where swimming below hovering eagles was an amazing experience. Room was spacious and met all needs. Staff were attentive and efficient in helping us on our forward journey (thanks to Ambali). Restaurant offered a wide choice for buffet breakfast.
• Joshi (8/5): Decent, but no late night services - Friendly staff... Clean rooms Easy to book Friendly watchman
• Emily (10/5): Great hotel at budget price - Classic Sarovar was a refreshing change to the other budget hotels we'd already stayed in during our trip around India. For the amenities and the look of the hotel, I would have expected to pay a lot more. The hotel was near the train station, so we didn't have to pay for additional taxis to get us there. The free breakfast was delicious and the wifi in the rooms worked well. We used the pool once and it was absolutely refreshing after a long day of siteseeing. There were also plenty of stores and restaurants within walking distance, so we always had something to do. There was also a nice little bar in the basement with reasonably priced beers where hung out a few times. The bathrooms in the rooms were a little outdated, but everything was in working condition so we couldn't complain. I'd would definitely come back here if we ever visit the area again.
• Somnath (8/5): Wake up alarm was late by 25 min. - Very comfortable. Really liked the nice spacious room. Linen was spotless. Housekeeping was prompt and helpful.
• Andres (10/5): Great stay - Great stay at Tiruvananthapuram. Comfortable and large room, nice staff, excellent breakfast, great swimming pool, convenient location close to the rail and bus stations. Recommended.
• Jillian (8/5): Convenient, clean and quality - Lovely hotel and great staff. The only disappointment was the quality of the wifi.
• Ravindra (8/5): - I would have appreciated if they had extended my check-out time. We checked in at 6PM and I requested for extra check-out time and they could give only one hour extra.
• OLGA (10/5): Оазис отдыха для усталого путника - Замечательный отель. Попали сюда после путешествия по городам Индии, где большинство отелей были грязными, поэтому получили особенное наслаждение остановившись в этом отеле. Чистое белье, просторный номер, хорошая сантехника, а главное- тишина.
• Russell (10/5): Great place to stay! - We were very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hotel and the attentiveness of the staff. We have no complaints, only compliments.
• Canada Cyn (8/5): Newly renovated and nicely decorated! - Improvements continue to be made since we were last there. More Staff speak English, the rooftop pool is beautifully maintained, the restaurant has some of the best breakfast buffets and dinners in India, the linens on the beds and the towels are very white and soft. Construction on the street outside has been finished, so it's much easier to walk to local shopping. Close distance to both bus and train stations. Staff are very helpful and friendly.
• David (8/5): Good business class hotel in Trivandrum - On arrival, it seemed I was an unexpected guest even though I had booked my 3 night stay (and paid in full!) about 9 months ago. I showed the hotel email confirmation and they took a copy. Even then, on the second day, the hotel called me asking when I was going to check out - that day! Again, I showed them my email confirmation which, as I say, they had already copied. For about a third of my stay, there was no internet connection. To someone like me, who relies on the internet for many things (including travel), this was very inconvenient. My room had 2 beds but they were far narrower than in most comparable hotels. Apparently, the hotel transport to Trivandrum Airport costs Rs 800. I travelled by auto rickshaw for Rs 200 and even then, as a foreign tourist, I imagine I was overcharged. At all times, the hotel staff were polite, friendly and helpful - treating me, I felt, as an individual and not just as a number. Maybe because I was travelling alone, I particularly valued the attention they gave me. The hotel is, generally, in very good condition (including the rooftop pool). Trivandrum Central railway station is nearby - about Rs 20 by auto rickshaw. Overall, I would say this is a good business class hotel with the facilities (eg gym, pool, bar & restaurant) to make one's stay enjoyable. Room facilities include a/c, satellite TV, a fridge, a free daily newspaper and a bottle of water.
• philippe (8/5): Bon hotel mais environnement à améliorer - Hotel qui parait un peu vide car on rencontre peu les autres clients, personnel très aimable sans être trop présent Chambres correctes et bonnes prestations La piscine sur le toit est peu utilisée et pourrait être améliorée. L'environnement par contre n'est pas top car l'hotel est au milieu d'un quartier en travaux et on n'y accède que par des petites rues pas très propres, ce qui nuit à l'impression générale
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice surprise ! Good value for money ! - We had no expactations when we arrived. Very nice staff, right in the middle of the city, very nice rooms. Last time we stayed in Vivanta by Taj and we thought they were much overprized. Next time we stay at Sarovar.
• Canada Cyn (8/5): Newly renovated with great food in restaurant - Newly renovated Hotel - with helpful Staff. Very good value for price. Nice breakfast buffet included with room.
• Thomas (8/5): - Value for money.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Awesome Hotel - Excellent hotel
• Colleen (8/5): A nice place to go. - I went to Classic Avenue after I landed in TRV. It was a very nice hotel and I enjoyed my stay there.The rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff was very helpful. The breakfast buffet was very good. I would stay there again. It was close to nice shopping and the train station.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Trivandrum city stopover. - Spent 4 nights here as final leg of 3 week stay in India. Hotel is very conveniently located: short tut tut rides to museum, art gallery, temples, specialist shopping markets. Twenty minute ride to the most beautiful beaches! Staff very helpful with advice re directions and prices to pay taxis and tut tuts. Start day with breakfast buffet with great choice of cooked dishes or fresh fruits, sightsee all day, back for refreshing dip in beautifully clean and refreshing rooftop pool, eat in (recommend great value buffet evening meal) or eat out - the city offers great choice and feels friendly when wandering about.
• joe (8/5): very nice hotel, but not easy to find the place. - I stayed there only one night but had a very good experience and the staff are very caring and attentive. Will stay there again if opportunity arise,
• Verified traveler (6/5): Not so classic but ok - Food wasn't pleasant but the staff were very helpful.
