A 2nd time visit

My 2nd stay at Nutshell. Great hospitality by hosts, Nisha and Venu. Beautiful home, balcony facing ocean, excellent breakfast ( included) and other meals (as needed). Thank you for the airport tranfer! Peaceful and welcoming homestay!

Welcoming, comfortable home stay. Amazing value!

Delightful place — a “home stay” rather than a hotel. The house is superbly presented with great furniture, antiques, great decorations. The staff are very friendly and do everything they can to be helpful, and Nisha Babu responds to every request very quickly. There is a home-cooked breakfast each morning, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. There is a kitchen area outside each group of rooms. They offer a friendly, free shuttle service to and from the airport, which is very local. We stayed for three nights and would definitely stay again!

The home stay is right on the sea front but sadly, and this is of course nothing to do with the owners of the home stay, the beach is not clean -- lots of rubbish everywhere, plastics, bottles, etc. So although it's lovely to hear the sounds of the waves, it's not really a beach that you can go for a romantic walk on, and certainly not sea you'd want to paddle in or swim in.

Gran elección

Está muy cerca del aeropuerto, justo en la playa Las habitaciones están extremadamente limpias, decoradas con muebles antiguos de gran calidad y con unas vistas impresionantes. La atención de los dueños es excelente, pendientes de todo lo que necesites.Uno de los mejores sitios donde hemos estado en nuestro viaje de 1 mes por la India.

Superb

I was given the pickup from the airport to the hotel which was very good since i did not excpected while booking the hotel. I was upgraded to the top room with balcony facing sea view for the same price. The Owner Nisha babu and the care taker and the cook lady were very supportive even though they dont speak english or hindi but was able to communicate with me. They also arranged for me an auto to see the Temple, Beach and Kollam back waters.

The one patch of road outside the hotel should be made good other than that i did not find any issues.

Good property, little expensive.

The property is right by the beach which provides for a great view and location. The host Nisha Babu is very prompt at responding over whatsapp and is helpful with all and any queries the guests may have. They provided us an on-time drop to airport for our early morning flight.

As the property is sea facing, there is a sea smell which may bother few people. The property provides 2 bottles of water per day but there is no facility to refill bottles, which is a big drawback as one needs more drinking water specially in Trivandrum weather.

Location and Property Manager

Only one towel, no shampoo, no drinking water, we have to drink tap water from kitchen sink, no cutlery in kitchen, weird smell in the room, there was no bathtub in the bathroom as was shown in the photos while booking, no option in breakfast only idli. Asked for extra payment (tax) while paying by UPI and no card machine.

Very dangerous location as the sea is just in front of the property and the road is kachha. Difficult to reach by the driver

From the moment I reached out to the accommodation via one of the leading platforms, the owner went above and beyond to guarantee that they maintained continuous contact, providing exceptional treatment and service throughout, from the convenient airport pickup to the warm welcome. Its proximity to the beach, just a few meters away, and its easy accessibility to the airport make it a highly recommended choice.

Wonderful experience even if only for one night. The owners are very kind and helpful.

The whole experience is great; the hosts are kind and helpful. The location is perfect, with the view and the sound of the ocean. The room is big, clean and comfortable. Nice breakfast.

Not so good experience

The location showed on booking.com was the one that drew us to make a reservation- very close to TRV domestic terminal. The host Nisha Babu takes personal interest and picked us up from the Central Railway station. The breakfast was decent but very limited only uthappa and dosa, nothing else. Wifi was provided

The location as described earlier wit the extreme proximity to the airport is a plus on the map, However the lane off the main road is very narrow and the last stretch of 50 metres near the location is unpaved least to say. It is extremely close to the sea, making it a little scary. There is no kettle or tea bags in the room nor any telephone in the room. one has to walk to their residence to ask for any assistance, they are kind enough to help you out though. There was no meal in the night as they said that their workers were on leave and we had to fend for ourselves There is an issue of a feeling of lack of security which may not be the case. there was a power outage on the night we were checking out. the ACs were not working and it was on inverter making it a little uncomfortable. The bill issued on the following day by whatsapp doesn't seem authentic as there is no GST number

Don't miss Nutshell if you are in Trivandrum!

The host Nisha is absolutely great. She picked us up from the airport, that's a stone's throw away from her beautiful sea side abode. She graciously upgraded us to the first floor room with a sea view (i should say sea feel as the property is just a few feet away from the waves !!). The breakfast was outstanding. Must stay at Nutshell if you are in Trivandrum even for a few hours!!!

highly recommend for a few days stop over before heading on. Again, Nisha and team were superb and those masala dosa for

exactly as described. bed, bathroom, a/c but best of all, the staff and Nisha. Picked up from airport (you can walk it though) and a perfect few days after a long flight before heading through Kerala.

not the properties fault but due to the cyclone, not too much to do directly at location. Beach not great.

my stay of 3 days was perfect, especially loved the opportunity to see the water right from the window and balcony.

It’s a beautiful house with nice rooms. All the necessities were provided. The bed is very comfortable and oh my god this view from the balcony is incredible!!!!! Breakfast was also very delicious. The staff was very polite and kind. The owner is an incredible woman. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

Terrific. I'd stay there again.

The "palace" is really gorgeous. Very exotic, colorful, really interesting furnishings. Very "Indian". Super convenient to the airport. It's family-run, so I got to meet the whole family. Teen-aged children super enthusiastic, helpful, very fun. They ordered a meal for me - egg curry, which was delicious.

Traditional Indian houses are not air-conditioned. My room had a single-zone air-conditioner, but the main house was just ambient temperature and humidity. To a Westerner, that's suffrocatingly hot! I think Indian consider air-conditioning to be not healthy (and they might be right), but it's definitely not comfortable without it.

Lovely hosts, lovely place!

Nisha and Varnu were very warm and welcoming. Varnu drove my partner to buy food in the middle of the night and he was great to chat with (he is a well known film actor and comedian). Our room was clean and air conditioned, the bed was very comfortable, and there was a balcony looking out to the ocean. Breakfast was simple and delicious. I would highly recommend staying here if you get the chance - it's a great homestay experience!

Super comfortable home stay with Nisha and her lovely family. A very interesting woman, who has achieved a lot in her life; impossible not to respect. Room was excellent, and location likewise excellent. Highly recommend for pit stop in Thiruvananthapuram. There is a lovely cafe by the beach nearby for food. All good. Nisha even collected me from tje airport :)
