*Stay at Hotel Temple City
A Mixed Experience*
Rating : 3.8/5
I recently stayed at Kanyakumari "Hotel Temple City", and while it's a good choice due to its location, the experience was mixed. The hotel's proximity to the Sunrise Viewpoint and Kanyakumari Devi Temple is a major plus, and a short walk makes it convenient to explore these attractions.
*Amenities and Cleanliness:-
The rooms are neat and clean, which is a definite highlight. However, the absence of an attached restaurant is noticeable. Although morning tea is provided with a kettle and tea bags, and the staff arranges tea from nearby restaurants, it would be better to have dining options within the hotel.
*Service: A Letdown:-
The service, unfortunately, didn't meet our expectations. We were surprised by the negative approach when we requested an extra bath towel for our three-bed room.
Moreover, despite the checkout time being 12 noon, the staff insisted we store our luggage in the car while visiting Vivekananda Rock, citing that we couldn't return before 12 noon. When we returned at 11:05 AM, our room had already been allotted to another customer, and we were asked to freshen up in a different, uncleaned room.!!!!
A key takeaway: don't leave your key with them before checkout.
*Facilities :-
The hotel offers parking space in front of the building, by the roadside, and a lift facility for easy access to upper floors. Being close to the road might be a consideration for some.
*Overall Assessment:-
Given the mixed experience, I would rate this hotel 3.8 out of 5. While it's an Average place to stay, especially considering its location, the service issues are significant. Potential guests should weigh these factors when deciding.
