I have stayed at this hotel several times due to its location. Everything is satisfactory, just a little tired. Bathroom can do with updating. Service from restaurant staff is very good. Had an issue with reception not finding our room booking which caused a couple of hours of stress .

Water was not coming in the flush when checked in. It was rectified within half hour. Said that tank was empty. Okey, but early in the morning, the situation was same. Just imagine flush not working early in the morning, and not having a bucket or things like that. Secondly, even after rectification water was dripping just outside the washroom. Such things usually happen in cheap hotels. Sorry to mention these.

Great views
Hindustan Retreat is in an interesting location with much activity all around. The view of the beach from our room was great and we really enjoyed the sunsets from our porch. The breakfast offerings were meager but good. We requested info on yoga classes but no one ever got back to us?

Super location!
Location is great. All rooms have sea view. Interesting to watch the rituals on the beach. Pool was amazing and pool attendant very helpful. Good hotel for children. Breakfast was a welcome addition. The hotel is tired and there are pigeons on the building (owing to its design) but the hotel is certainly clean inside. The staff generally were very helpful and with three kids we found this useful. This hotel is not luxury but it is clean, comfortable and child friendly - in my opinion. In line with what you pay. Would recommend given the explaination above.

Not worth the price.
The place is 2 star and we were cheated the first night. Had we not asked for a better room, we would not have been given what we paid for. We were upgraded for one night.

Good value for money, but not completely new
Good value for money and very close to the waterside. Large rooms and a very nice view from our room (and the top floor where they serve breakfast and dinner). Pleasant pool both for adults and children. The first day the cleanliness was medium, but the second night it was very good. You will notice that the facilities are not brand new but on the other side the staff is friendly and very helpful.

Great beachside retreat
Stayed with family at this hotel by Papanasam Beach. Room was great, spacious enough for 3, beautiful view of the beach and Arabian Sea. Location can't be beat, 100 meters from the beach; its a 5 min auto ride from hotel to the North Cliff, where there are numerous restaurants and shops. The restaurant in the hotel is modest, but we had very good breakfast -- included -- every morning. To sum up: A perfect base for a lovely Varkala Beach vacation.

Excellent stay, great service
Don't overlook Turtle Bay Spa which provides great massage therapy packages. Staff was friendly, cleanliness of rooms was impeccable, hotel restaurant served great food with incredible variety, plus the view overlooking the beach and the barely 100 metres separating the hotel from the beach add to the dreamlike experience.

loved the location
We stayed for seven nights, breakfasts were excellent and also had dinner in the hotel on two occasions. We loved the views from the room and enjoyed feeling part of the action whilst not being bothered by the local beach noise due to the double-glazed windows. Staff were responsive and friendly and we really appreciated the pool facilities.
