Thank you very much to everyone at the Sanctum Spring, it's been very lovely. As I was coming from Europe and I stayed for 12 nights as Ihad

Beach view

Hotel overlooks a huge noisy car park

Loved the room and environment.

I liked the balcony and the view, and the closeness to the Beach promenade.

the room does not look like the pictures offered on Hotels.com but a further downgraded version of it. It was also not properly clean, full of dust still and it didn't help that a massive spider cam out of nowhere.

Helpful staff and clean rooms with sea views across the helipad/car park. Near to clifftop restaurants and the beach. Quiet during weekdays. Slightly lacking in atmosphere (restaurant is only open for breakfast - no evening bar/restaurant available, although there are many within a short walk)

Fantastiskt bra boende, med nära till taxi, restauranger och till stranden. Personalen var väldigt trevliga och hjälpsamma. Bättre boende var nog svårt att få. Återkommer gärna som gäst.

The location of the property which is close to the Cliff in Varkala. Good sized rooms with balconies facing the sea.

Good in every way.

Last stayed 6 years ago and it was lovely so re-booked for this latest visit. Good location with friendly and always helpful staff. Very hot during our visit but the air con was very good despite breaking down one evening but fixed quickly. Breakfast was average bordering on poor so we ate out elsewhere for our last few days (cheap and tasty)! But overall our stsy turned out to be average I’m afraid. Like a number of hotels we have stayed in in India, the room is in desperate need of upgrade. The fridge was filthy (but worked), as were the light switches. The wardrobe/cupboards are very old and scruffy. Bed and sheets were clean but the towels and bath mats were some of the worst we have ever seen, one so threadbare it was see through! They were clean but stained and very old. This hotel has the potential to be really good and could charge a lot more per night but as it is, it’s just scruffy budget hotel in desperate need of upgrade (fixtures and fittings) but to be fair, probably fine for most that stay there!

A bit disappointing. Didn’t feel clean. Light from outside. Noisy dogs and cars and motorcycles just outside the window. Next to a big parking lot. We checked out after one night and round something better and cheaper the day after

Generally good for the price, staff friendly

A very nice hotel with a pool. There didn’t seem to be a restaurant but that didn’t matter because there’s loads of restaurants in the immediate area down the lanes. Most people there had fairly good English. It is very hot but there was air con and a fan so I slept well.

The room was not ready when we arrived. It was not clean and the bulbs were flickering. The fridge was not working. There was no sufficient plug points. Bathroom was clean but there was no hot water. Room was big enough and AC was good. Staff were nice and helpful and food was good. There was no lift and had to climb up and down which was not comfortable in a hot weather. Balcony was not clean enough, but the sea view as amazing. Overall not worth the money we spent.

Clean and affordable place to stay that is well located for exploring Varkala. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Beds were very hard though - just a thin mattress on a plank of wood, also breakfast service was very basic - but there are many great affordable places nearby- so not a major issue- overall a great stay !

Hotel/ Resort: Ligger og har udsigt bl.a. til meget store offentlige parkeringsplads og vej dertil. Der er meget støj fra biler især motorcykler og tuk-tuk. Morgenmad: Meget begrænset udvalg og under al kritik. Senge: Meget hård madras. Balkon: Ikke tilstrækkeligt afskærmet fra omgivelser.

El hotel es antiguo, las habitaciones pequeñas por el precio a pagar. Las únicas más grandes son las suites! No tiene ascensor, y la ubicación, también si se ve el mar, es muy ruidosa, da a una explanada pensada como elipuerto, pero está muy transitada de día y de noche con bastante ruidos de bocinas y motores! Los días de nuestra estancia estaban en obras, arreglando fachadas y construiendo una piscina. Es limpio pero falta renovar las habitaciones y el quarto de baño para poder exigir el precio por noche!

We stayed for 2 nights in March, the hotel is ok but doesn’t quite live up to its description, there was no restaurant or terrace. It is in a good location, only 100m from Varkala cliff with numerous restaurants etc. The staff were very helpful, they just need to update their listing.

Fantastisk sted med hjælpsomhed og charme. Tæt til alt hvad du har brug for, for at komme helt ned i gear. Vi kommer gerne igen.
