Wonderfully clean and relatively new hotel. Excellent assistance from Anuja from the front desk & Akhil @ the restaurant. We were on transit for a day and enjoyed our stay here. When in Kottayam, we will be back at the same property.

I used to travel and stay at alot of different hotels in kottayam, recently i had the pleasure of staying at hotel arcadia in kottayam and it was truly a wonderful experience! the staff were friendly and accommodating, making sure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The checkout procedure was also seamless, with a minor wait for room inspection, but it was completed within a couple of minutes, which was completely understandable. Overall, i had a great time at hotel arcadia and would definitely recommend it to others. The hotel's efficiency and hospitality made my stay truly memorable!

Outstanding
Our 2nd time here after a 6 year break. We had a ‘pool cottage’ and it was awesome. Not only a small private pool but a private covered area at the back to sit quietly and see the birds and wildlife (butterflies, turtles and water monitors) on the small lake within the hotel grounds. In the evening we could sit on the front porch and watch the sunset over the larger lake. The room was lovely, clean, and quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful. Any ‘complaints’ were really first world problems - sometimes it took a very long time to get served tea/coffee at breakfast (I suggested they need two people working full time just for that one job) and occasionally the food wasn’t that hot. We had half board so our meals were buffet style. There was some confusion about whether tables could be reserved but it seemed they can’t be unless it is a special occasion. That wasn’t made clear. It wasn’t until I got to the next hotel that I realised just how much I’d missed a sifter pillow on the bed but next time I’d ask if they had one! There are various free activities to do plus a complimentary afternoon tea. All rather wonderful!!
I booked a 21-day Ayurvedic detox program at Niraamaya Retreats Backwaters & Beyond, expecting a 5-star luxury wellness experience. Unfortunately, it was anything but. In reality, this resort is not even a 3-star property, let alone 5. ✅ The Good ✔ Polite staff – They tried their best, but they are clearly undertrained and understaffed. ✔ Beautiful location – The serene backwater views could have been a highlight if the resort was well-maintained. ❌ The Bad 1️⃣ False Advertising 🏨 The resort is not a 5-star property. The facilities, service, and treatments are subpar. 🌿 The Ayurvedic program was poorly structured, and my prescribed medicine took 4 days to arrive, completely disrupting the detox plan. 2️⃣ Unhygienic and Neglected Facilities 🛏 Dirty rooms – Stained linens, dusty furniture, and unclean bathrooms. 🏊♂️ Private pool was dirty – The filters were off until I explicitly asked for them to be turned on. 🚿 Common areas were neglected – Bird droppings, insects, and a visible lack of maintenance everywhere. 3️⃣ Uncomfortable Accommodations 🛌 The bed was so stiff that I had trouble sleeping and woke up every morning with my whole body aching. 🚫 This is unacceptable for any hotel, let alone one claiming to be a luxury wellness retreat. 4️⃣ Unprofessional Service 🙅♂️ Staff lacked proper training and some struggled with English, making communication difficult. 🕷 A spider web (with what looked like a scorpion) at my doorstep took days to remove, until I finally requested it to be cleaned. 5️⃣ Unsupportive Management 📢 Management was not on top of running the operations. I felt the need to manage the staff for basic housekeeping and service. 🚨 The Ugly: I Had to Leave Early By the 5th day, I couldn’t take it anymore and left early, spending extra money to find better accommodation and treatments in Kochi. 💸 Instead of healing, I left stressed, exhausted, and financially strained. ⚠️ Final Thoughts: Avoid This Place!!! While the staff tried, the quality of the facility, cleanliness, quality of the program and poor service ruined this experience. This is not a luxury retreat, and I strongly advise against staying here…! Kerala deserves better representation than this.. 😞
RRina LamsalVery nice property for layback family vacation. We wanted to escape the crowd during the holidays and Kumarakom was the right choice.
Staff is very helpful. Breakfast and lunch were amazing! Kerala home cooked food.
The only thing we find not convenient were no hot water for the shower and no fridge in the room. Otherwise place is very nice for couple of days.
Great property with a beautiful view od the lake.Food was simply delicious and special mention to chef Subin for taking care of my group of 12 people! Highly recommend the chicken tikka! Hope they maintain this standard for future also and will visit again!
Dear Simon/Swapna, This message is specfically to record our appreciation of the wonderful and exemplary services rendered by both yourself and Swapna, despite the numerous constraints within which you were operating there in the Hotel. We were really taken in by the stupendous efforts put in by both of you and your team members, especially the service boys, in attendng to the requirements of our guests in a pleasant and satisfying manner. Everyone of the guests have appreciated the services rendered. Once again, please accept our sincere thanks and gratitude for making our stay in White Gate an extremely pleasant and wonderful experience, which we would always cherish. We would also make it a point to patronise White Gate in future, whenever we get an opportunity in the future.
GGuest Useri recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful resort, and it was an incredibly relaxing experience. the ambience inside the property is truly pleasing and serene, with a nature-friendly vibe that immediately puts you at ease. the rooms were well-maintained, spacious, and provided a perfect balance of comfort and style. one of the highlights of the resort is definitely the pool—it’s stunning and adds so much to the overall experience. if you’re visiting, i highly recommend opting for the pool-view villas; they offer an unbeatable view and atmosphere. the food was delicious, with a wide variety of options, although slightly on the pricey side. that said, the quality more than made up for it. lastly, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. overall, a wonderful place for a peaceful getaway!
GGuest UserWe had two nights stay at picturesque ILLKKALAM LAKESIDE COTTAGE right on the banks of the lake and were. pleasantly surprised as the nature unfolded before us.
Good location with good facilities and access to all amenities surrounded by organic farm , nature at its best.
Good service through out and personalised care by friendly staff.
Freshly cooked homemade tasty food served to your room and relax in front of the room looking over the lake with boats passing by and beautiful sunset views.
The best part was the relaxed private sunset boat ride on the lake for two of us with stunning views starting right in front of our cottage.
Susan Salin and team have done a wonderful job in making avail of this wonderful property for fortunate few like us.
Special thanks to Asha and Arjun who were always helpful and giving us information of local tours and cultures. Not to forget those amazing cooks who cooked meals as per our taste
We will definitely going to return and recommend to our friends to visit ILLKKALAM LAKESIDE COTTAGES
Thanks once again for serving is the best treat Keep it up 💕🙏😍
It is a budget hotel with a good vegy restaurant. The rooms though small have clean toilet and round the clock hot water supply. The restaurant serves decent tasty vegetarian food. The staff at the desk and restaurant are polite. The linen though washed had stains in it and have scope for improvement. Tea kit is not available in the room and the restaurant opens only at 7:00 AM and hence if you wish to have a tea or coffee in the morning it is difficult. Recommend it for a shorter stay as not much other options are available in Ettumanoor.
