Vandanam Villas - Hotel in Thrissur - Thrissur, India

A group of 30 students and I stayed here for 2 weeks during our traveling throughout India. The houses were not in the best shape; there was no WiFI, the AC unit was leaking, some trash was left outside our door when we arrived, and the kitchen was empty of untensils or dishes. The neighbors were very friendly though, and the surrounding area seemed full of genuine people.

I visited with family (parents and kid) and booked this place. I have been to Guruvayoor earlier as well and hence had an idea on the surroundings. Starting with Mr. Girish, no doubt that he is a great host taking care of all the smallest possible needs of the customers. I am really thankful to him for the same. Even all family members liked the accommodation and his hosting nature. Girish stays only 2 house away from the place and is always available on a call in 5 minutes if required. About the property, this is a 3 BHK Villa (1 BR & Kitchen in GF, 2 BRs & Lounge on 1st Floor) along with Family Lounge, Open terrace sit-outs and garden area, enough parking space for big cars. Rooms are decent is size with attached Bathrooms provided with towels etc. All rooms have AC fitted which is really necessary especially people who are not comfortable with the temperatures in Kerala. AC runs directly on Power and any power outage means losing AC for that time. We experienced few due to some tree branches falling nearby but was restored quickly and we didn't feel any issues. The house has got a back up with Inverter and takes the load for all lights, fans etc. Entire house was clean and properly arranged. The house is in a gated layout and neighbourhood is full of greeneries. The neighbourhood seems to be nature friendly and could see people having arrangements for bird nests etc. as well which explains the quite serene and natural surroundings. Girish has taken special care for Babies/Kids and provided Kids Bath Tub, Mosquito Net etc. We had booked this house mainly for Kitchen which has got all the utensils, plates, fridge etc required for cooking not only Kids food but also for the family if required. Carry only the raw materials and rest all is available espcially for south indian style of cooking. Beyond this any food requirements starting from Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner, Girish is there to help and arranged whatever is required from nearby places. Next visit to Guruvayoor with Family, no second thoughts on where to stay. Last but not the least about the location, Location no doubt is a little far from the Temple (around 4-5 KM) and with very limited commute option, it really feels to be dependent on Girish. Girish has one Innova which can be hired. He also has contacts with Auto folks to arrange the Autos for Pickup & Drop. He is planning to have some self drive two wheeler which will really be great option if started and Location will not be a constraint. Till then each round trip could cost a minimum of 250 with Auto. This won't be a constraint to people who are driving to this place. In summary, really recommended for group of people/family stay assuming that Girish is already thinking about the alternative for commute.
