Oh dear, this hotel has seen better days. Tired, I think is the word. During a two-week trip to Southern India we stayed in five different accommodations including a houseboat, beach huts and hotels, but sadly finished off our trip with a five-night stay at the Hindustan, which was the worst accommodation we stayed in. The staff were all pleasant - especially the chef in the restaurant who greeted us every morning with a smile and soon got to know what we liked, and the gentleman who attends to the pool - the room was cleaned daily, and had terrific views, but the whole hotel needs some money spent on it. Quite a bit of money! For instance, instead of a double bed we had two single beds pushed together. Bad enough as that is, but the sheets didn't even fit! They were too short due to the odd shape of the bed. This proved to be really, really frustrating. The most ridiculous thing, however, is that upon check-out you're handed a leaflet detailing all the tourist places we 'could' have visited had we known about them earlier! These included the Janardanaswami Temple, Golden Island, Kappil Beach, the Sivagiri Mutt ashram, Sri Mahaprahuji Btak (a devotee to Sreenathji), and even elephant rides around the village of Puthenkulam. Our son checked-out a day before us, and this happened both times. Surely, anyone could see this leaflet would be more beneficial at the start of our stay! It actually fills me with sadness to think that we missed out on visiting one of two of these places
