Villa Varkala

Well-appointed ground floor apartment, good bed, good shower, lots of space. Helpful staff as well - thoroughly recommended.

Unfortunately, the overall experience was just average. I was excited to stay here, and the building did have the basics in place e.g. nice and clean building, rooms and bathrooms; and very conveniently located close to the north cliff (i.e. all the cafes etc.), but that's about it. Very poor/choppy wi-fi on the upper floor, mobile data didn't work either (so nightmare for remote work on top floor) and the staff wasn't really helpful / communicative / alert about the guests or hospitality. The mattress wasn't comfortable (spring and probably old). Overall, the property has great potential but needs more attention and maintenance.
