Kozhikode / Calicut hotels & accommodations
While we were in Kozhikode, we spent the first day away from the city. On the second day, we checked in to this hotel. The Hotel is located on the Mavoor Road, pretty close to the KSRTC bus stand. There are some nice places to eat nearby. Even the most famous ones are 30-40 bucks away. The breakfast spread was nice.
The rooms were pretty good. Check in went through quick and fine. Told front desk at 4 pm to book a taxi for next day morning 6. They had not done it when I checked at 9 pm. Went to restuarant and asked for suggestion at 4. First we asked about French fries and ordered. Then he suggested sandwich and we ordered but he did not mention that it also comes with French frie...
It never seemed to me like a business hotel. The rooms were very old fashioned and reminded me of the 80s. The furnishing is pretty ugly and the per night charges are way too much for this 3 star hotel. The best part about the hotel is the location. Otherwise, breakfast and pretty much everything else is okay okay. The rooms are too tiny and congested.
Malabar Gate, a very clean hotel with charming staff is well situated in Calicut, not far from the station. A rickshaw ride to the beach, centre of town and markets is only 20 rupees, all rickshaw drivers are happy to use their meter. Calicut must be the cleanest town in India, people are very honest and you never come across anyone trying to take advantage of a touri...
Good hotel. Good staff. Only problem is breakfast. They deliver to the room and no selection. They just dump the idlis then after sometime they come with curry/sambar, then they come with tea/coffee! This is terrible! Cannot blame the staff , the management should wake up! Another thing, those housekeeping speaks hindi! Atleast some english or even Malayalam! Stran...
Good location, neat and clean rooms & good room service. Complimentary breakfast from their own adjacent hotel, though its not a buffet & served just one dish food was Ok.
They have given me an early check in free of cost. Excellent support from the staff. Lunch/Dinner and breakfast very good. Good internet connection. Rooms were clean and neat. Hotel is very near to the city. Anyone who loves food, should visit calicut which is very good in having very nice eating experience.
the hotel is situated in close proximity to local attractions of kozhikode. the rooms are decent sized. the standard rooms are equipped with twin bed. king sze bed is available only on upgrade. the rooms have attached balcony but the view is to neighbouring household. the toilet drain flow sounds through the day which is a real spoiler. the staff especially in the rest...

I found the staff to be friendly and easy to communicate with & attentive. The room was clean and the buffet breakfast had very tasty local food. Idli, vada, and appam with egg roast was the best i had in Kerala from a buffet breakfast so far.

Decent hotel with all 3 star facilities at low cost.
Room size is large, hotel is clean and comfortable.
