I had booked a double room on 6th MAY 2006 through Chanukya tours and
travels, Bangalore; which the traveler had suggested as a good hotel
and Good about the hospitality.

I checked-in in the a/f noon to the
hotel. Had rest.
I went in for dinner to the same hotel at around 8:15 PM in the evening and ordered some rotis followed by fried-rice.
The rotis came after 15-20 minutes along with curry. We finished our
rotis and waited for fried-rice. We waited for the rotis with the
presence of biting mosquitoes. Our hands got dried, and kept on
requesting for our order. We were not daring enough to order any more
things from him afraid of may be spending our night in the dining hall.
It was almost 40-50 minutes since we ordered our food. We got
frustrated with waiting, lost our appetite too and started walking
towards the bill counter to pay the bill.
The manager called the supplier and asked for the bill. I waited in the
counter for the bill. I got the bill. T0 my surprise, the bill included
all the items like Roti, curry and fried-rice. This was added with the
tax on top cost of food items. We had some argument about the bill for
fried-rice also.
I requested him not to include the bill for rice, but his argument was
"We have billed for whatever you ordered only. You need to wait till the food comes. We can not cancel the order"
I talked to him about the time they take to prepare as I had already spent about 50 minutes waiting for the food.
He only said that "These employees are with me for last two years, I
have not got any complaint against them and now you need to pay"
I was forced to pay the bill. Still today I do not understand "How can
there be no complaint against anyone if he has had not complaint in the
last two years [I know he was lying ]
I feel that the Managements, of Hotels at least where "Hospitality" is
of at most importance, should have some manners in handling the human
beings and should be willing to listen first. They are not fit to work
for organizations like a hotel business.
This is a request to all to check for the credibility of the hotel before checking-in.

We had the chance to stay for 2 nights in Hotel Ambadi, and I have to say that was the best place we stayed in Kerala.
For middle price range,

we stayed in a very spacious and clean room with a fan (A/C rooms also available).
This hotel has a very charming architecture (wooden cottages, some of them duplex, surrounded by tropical flowers), nice and welcoming staff, it is clean, we did get hot water even in the evening, and last but not least the restaurant was so good and cheap that we did not even try another one.
Located in the center of Thekkady, and only 5min rickshaw drive from the Tiger Reserve.

This is a well-located place for visiting Periyar and the Nature Reserve, and looks great at first sight, but our room, whilst characterful, was cold, damp and plagued with beasties

in a way that we did not experience in the rest of our trip: weird great things coming under the door in the night, rats scuttling past as we went out to dinner, and huge inhabited cobwebs floating worryingly over the bed. A shame, as it did look nice, but we would not stay there again.
