Akhil Classic

The service is very good now and the rooms are well maintained and excellent. Best choice for those seeking good stay at the heart of the city.

A good location from the train station. Able to check in early. Staff helpful with issues with keycard and needing toiletries in the room. Hot shower and really comfortable bed. Enjoyed a really tasty meal in the restaurant - didn't need to wait too long for it to arrive either.

FRAUDSTERS in Play!!!! Please be careful...||||I had booked this hotel through MakeMyTrip around 3 months prior the actuk travel date. The booking was confirmed and it was during Attukal Pongala festival season.||||They waited for us to arrive at hotel, with just the seasonal price hike in mind, they told us "your booking is not valid, if you have an issue, take it up with Makemytrip "||||Course of events:||1. A receptionist took the Makemytrip booking, said "let me look for the room", and started searching for the rooms in their system||2. A Sr. Reception staff came, looked at our booking price and told to the receptionist, check "WE DONT HAVE ROOMS, staring at the person searching the system"||3. They then said in one voice, they had closed their MakeMyTrip account and this was a mistake from MakeMyTrip.||This is was completely false because I was able to see their listing on MakeMyTrip as they were saying this. This was all pre-determined to squeeze in some more cash out of festive season bookings||||They had already backfilled the booked rooms at a higher price during a seasonal spike. I was travelling with my pregnant wife and was stranded on the road because of these money mongers.||||We were asking them about the ropes tied around the hotel, typically that's how they block space for attukal pongala. On enquiry, they told us is that, the owner of the hotel had blocked the main areas surrounding hotel for themselves, their family and friends. So when I asked where will the people who had booked the rooms put pongala. Their response was "they can search for some place somewhere else - 500mtrs away in some street"||||I am writing such a detailed review on this because people who are trying to book Akhil classic (fraudsters) for any seasonal event, make sure you book directly from them or my request is to book somewhere else , this hotel is overrated and overpriced priced, with poor service. There are no senior personnel in the hotel who can help you out during any such crisis, there were only a couple of dumbass people who were saying the same thing over and over again, stating they had closed their account with MakeMyTrip.||||Pretext:||||We had been booking the same hotel every year from 2018. I am guessing, some management change had happened some time post-corona season.||||This event that I mentioned happened during February 2024.||||What changed recently?||1. Poor service - ruthless and careless staff||2. Food quality had deteriorated significantly||(There was a time in 2018, when Akhil classic staff would pack our breakfast and keep it separately for us to complete the festival activities and wait for us to complete the pongala. They used to help us set up pongala, guide us and support us.||||Fast forward to now, they don't care if we eat, complete the ritual or stray on the road!!!!||||If the FRAUDSTERS from Akhil classic are reading this , instead of stranding a family with a pregnant person on the road, you could have asked for a some extra premium stating there is a festival hike. This would have been more dignified.||||One liner:||A hotel that has lost its way, dignity and a sense of humanity.!!!!

I have received a well mannered behaviour from all the staff there.... And they have served delicious foods.... I'm very well satisfied by their hospitality... And I would like to thank each and everyone who made our holiday day to become a fantastic one and they where very helping minded especially Ranju and Vishnu... Thankyou

Miss Ranju and staff Pappu made sure that Our stay at this property was comfortable. They were very welcoming and helped us through out during the stay . The location is excellent nearby the temple Although they can lay more stress on small pointer cleanliness like curtains and A.C But that can be ignored due to such a helpful staff that was smiling and helping kudos to their team thank you for hosting us.

We had a one day stay here...hotel is great. Right in the middle of the city, walkable distance to Sti Padmanabh Swamy temple, and railway station. Many restaurants are nearby. Hotel staff is courteous and supportive. Had a great stat here.

Location of the hotel is closer to padmanabha temple. Friendly and helpful staff. Rooms need pest control to be done as we saw cockroaches.

This is by far one of the worst hotels we have stayed after a very long time. We had stayed in Akhil Classic back in early 2023 and had actually liked it, which is why we returned this year. But the experience has been terrible. Pros: 1)location is very close to trivandrum central railway station. You might find rickshaws pretty easily and worst case , it's walkable distance to major bus station and train station. 2) very clean bathrooms and clean towels. hot water was always available. 3) room service was okay Cons: 1) The first room we got did not have a working key, and they gave us another room that had a very, very tight door 2) Unhygienic rooms full of roaches. We slept the two whole nights with lights on the moment lights were turned off, roaches were crawling into the room 3) flickering lights in the room 4) unclean/smelly refrigerator, which god knows when was cleaned last 5) bedsheets and pillows were full of stains 6) our second room had a strong smell of pesticides or some roach powder 7) The room was very dusty and looked like it had not been cleaned for a long time 8) The restaurant hardly had any options to eat. It's the opposite of all the pictures posted online. This is so not worth the money they take from you which is close to 3K. We suggest you look elsewhere.
