Ktdc Grand Chaithram

The KTDC Grand Chaitram, Thiruvananthapuram is a government hotel which provides quality services at affordable tariffs. The hotel is located in the centraI Trivandrum which is the older part of the city on the main road. The Trivendrum Central Railway Station is right accross the road and Thampanoor Bus stand is adjacent to the hotel. Yet the road is remarkably congestion-free and quite. You won't hear street noise in your room. This part of the city is very well connected to all other parts of the city. The drive to hotel from airport took around 45 minutes. Please remember that Uber & Ola are available in three or four large cities of the state. The checkin was fast and we had to wait for around 15 minutes before we were ushered into our room. We stayed from 30th May to 1st June in superior room at fourth floor . It contains a sitting room and a bed room. The rooms are spacious and have all amenities. The laundry service is fast and reasonably priced. Though there is definitely a huge language barrier, the staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and house keeping is good. A small private parking is available. The food quality and the buffet breakfast spread are average. A quicker response to service requests is desired. The location is top notch. Most of the tourist place like Napier Museum, Zoo, Aquarium, Art Gallery, Kanakakunnu Palace, Science and Technology Museum, Planetarium etc. are within 5 km. The temple of Padmanabhanswami is around 1 km away. If you want to eat out try Aryaas Park (veg) 50 m and Azad Hotel 500 m away. One can go to Pothy Textile 500 m away for shopping clothes.

Amenities and services to be more comfortable. Toilets and rooms look old and suggest renovation. Room service of food was not as per the brochure available there.

I stayed for a one day with my family and property is just superb. On main road and very near to market and restaurants. Room was clean. Highly recommending !

We had a good stay. Room was clean. But the bathroom tap was broken. The swipe card of the door was not working due to software issue. We needed both a physical key and swap card. However around the hotel there are very good restaurants l. So getting good food was easy.

I have booked 3 rooms in hotel. All rooms were very nice, cleaning in very nice. All hotel staff very politely speaking. Only their restaurant have some problem regarding services, they were very slow in service.

Food was not as good as it was last year had booked one room for three but was given a smaller room which had hardly any place to keep the third bed. When housekeeping did not respond had asked the waiter to get some coffee sachets but he ignored them. Not pleasant nor an unpleasant stay over all
