Arora Tourist Home - Lodge in Kozhikode - Kozhikode, India

Well located, right next to Kozhikode railway station, 2km from KSRTC bus terminal. 24-hrs check-in/check-out is very convenient, esp train travellers. 3 floors. Some rooms have TVs, some don't, the charges vary accordingly. The rooms may not be highly maintained however you get non-AC double rooms with attached bathroom at a price that you really can't complain about. Mostly silent at night but annoyingly noisy during the day, you might feel vehicles passing by your window even if you're on the 3rd floor. A convenient place to stay if you're travelling on a budget.

First of all this Hotel is located exactly opp Kozhikode Railway station. For single bed charges are 670 including GST. I was allowed to see the room before I book it. Room was neat and clean, bed sheets were cleaned as well, pillows were good. They didn't provide any blankets. Fan was working good but It was little slow. They have drinking packaged water facility for which you have to pay. No Hot water in bathrooms, but bathrooms were clean and hygienic. There's proper air ventilation in room, but i think only few rooms have that proper ventilation. Floors and corridors were also properly cleaned. I stayed there for 2 days and my overall experience was very good. Male receptionist was good, he knew some hindi and english so communication became good as I didn't knew malayalam. His behavior was also good, there was one lady receptionist also, she was less interactive but her behavior was also good. Overall I enjoyed staying at this hotel and place was very hygienic.

Never go for non AC rooms. It's dam hot and you will feel suffocation. AC rooms are good . But you shouldn't except a clean bathroom and you can't expect to have a ac room with clean bed linen with their cheap rate. The rate that they had asked me is Rs. 1000/- for non AC room and 1500 for AC rooms. The lodge is just walkble distence from railway station

I stayed in Arora Tourist Home on 08/03/23 to 09/03/23. During this time i had a pleasant stay in the AC Double room. The price is very cheaper and they provide 24hr checkout. That was very helpful for me.

Only good thing is nearness to railway station. Worst services - no one clean the room till tourist ask several times . Do not treat customers properly . Unclean - wall lizards present in room along with cockroaches.

Very poor bed linens.For how many months they'll wash once? God knows.Price more costly but no hot water facility.The owner lady suggested to bath in afternoon after 3pm.Never prefer with small kids.Expensive to stay in that small room.

Attention: those who first time visit Calicut from Chennai : This is first time Kerala especially Calicut..I am from Chennai..I came here for interview purpose. I exit from railway station @2:00 AM midnight...I didn't findout more hotels..i searched in Oyo everything shows 1500+..actually I don't have that much money ..I had only 1000 ...then asked one cab driver ..he referred this hotel.i asked receptionist for he charged 850 rupees for one day without non- negotiable fixed price. I doesn't asked the AC room because Calicut temp might 19celcius only..even you don't need fan also..climate is excellent .here is no food service..and if you come out and within a 25 meters you would find hotels with veg and non-veg. Important note : there is no HOT WATER BATH HERE... management should notice this one..dryer also needed..room always look wet and it's highly irritating.. first time I tasted Kerala style food along with coffee excellent..afternoon I ordered 120 rs chicken biriyani..I totally disappointed look wise ..it's look like chicken with puthina rise.in expected Chennai style light red colour..taste wise good...but quantity wise less so please go through 140 rs chicken biriyani.. Second option paraotta is excellent with chicken gravy was little bit okay..they give one full leg peace.. Ola available here..some drivers will ask 50 rupees additionally...but servise wise very good very friendly... If you use public transport like bus /auto very cheap and friendly it's cost 15 and 35 max 40 rupees.. Always here raining ..don't forget to bring Umberrela... I went to Charlie beach...actually there is no beach..sea and road was very closely ..it's not like Marina or eliots beach Chennai..if you go ..then you could dispointed definitely. Aport from this..every person I met in Calicut was very gentle approach..nice experience.

The room and service is above average. Available several types of rooms like AC room, 4star room, 5star room, etc. It is nearest to the Kozhikode railway station.
