Abhi's cafe avaduthura kovalam

The owner was very chill and cool

It's very near to the beach under the staff The behaviour is very nice on the ground floor having one cafe and the food taste was nice. At that price the room is very nice and clean the owner of the property is a very kind person.

Nill

Great spot started when they let us hop right on the WiFi to give our uber driver his pin. Room was comfy and we slept 11 hours due to serious jet lag having just landed from Colombo (+0 hours). Breakfast was also top as we discovered a new red dragonfruit 🔥🤩🐡

Der Gastgeber Manny und sein Team waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage war sehr gut und das Frühstück und Kaffee waren köstlich. Sie sind auch sehr tierlieb.

Shower not working

Mr Mani was very friendly and accommodating. He made all arrangements prior to our arrival.

After reaching, we got to know that the booking we made was not for a AC room.. This wasn't mentioned in booking. com website at the time of booking as it simply says Double Room with Private Bathroom. No option available to upgrade to AC rooms.

L’établissement est hyper agréable, les chambres sont très confortables et on peut se poser sans problème au café qui est très agréable. Abhi est de très bons conseils, super sympathique et accueillant. Le prix est ultra compétitif et le positionnement a 2 min de la plage imbattable. Absolument parfait je recommande à 100%.

The location was perfect , spacious clean room, all the facilities were great and the host was amazing super friendly

Отличное расположение, днем и ночью тихо. Большая площадь комнаты и душевой. В целом по инд. меркам - хорошо! Хозяин разрешил поздний выезд что было крайне приятно. Внизу есть кафе - чай кофе завтраки...

Возможно без кондиционера будет жарко и влажно- климат тут влажный. Индивидуально! Мне было нормально. Так же есть комары, но в комнате есть репеллент.

They are super helpfully and friendly

Fridge did not work

Hosts were very kind and courteous. Ambience was nice. Food served was nice, hygienic and reasonably priced.

Nothing that I could remember

Very Clean, Good Facilities, very near to the beach, very near to bus stand as well.

Good location to reach all the main points, great room size, fan and AC, nice toilet with hot water, super clean. I really appreciate the balcony with 2 chairs to relax with garden view, quiet area, you can easily enjoy your time here. I loved the hotel restaurant, great local food for the cheapest price in the village. Super friendly owners, I wish to go back one day.

Worth for money Staff was excellent Owner Mr.Mani is so helpful and very pleasing character

Its very difficult to transport without your own vehicle. Uber is not allowed in this area or surroundings Private taxi or auto is only available Public transport is only affordable

Lovely place set away from the main beachfront area. Most friendly and helpful owner who stands ready to help at all times. Lovely onsite restaurant with fresh baked food items and home cooked meals all day. Highly recommended!

There was nothing I did not like.

Manny and the staff are great. Manny knows everything about surfing so, if you're looking for surf, this is the place to stay. Food downstairs is good and affordable.

Everything was as it should be

Comfortable stay. Good location. Good food. Friendly and helpful host. Overall a good experience.

No complaints

Super friendly, super helpful,

Nice, clean, comfortable, tasty food and very helpful host.

The location could be better as it is on the road and you have to walk a little to get to the beach. Otherwise great!

Spacious room & location

Nothing

Feels like home.🏡 Clean room & Friendly people.

Always fully booked. Be aware😂

The staff behaviour, location.

Water didn't serve. Towel, soap not provided.

Affordable price. Delicious food and very welcoming people. Really good experience. Recomended.

Some favourite foods of my choice was not available

My stay at Abhi’s exceeded my expectations and I was given a very warm welcome and shown to my room which was huge with big windows, cool fans and air conditioning which I rarely used as there was a nice cross breeze with the windows open. I liked that there were tea or coffee making facilities in my room and a small fridge. I felt very safe there and no request was ever too much. The cafe is lovely, very welcoming and accommodating. The breakfasts were the best homemade Indian breakfasts! Mani was always with a smile! Loved the homey feel of this place and the cafe was always very busy so word is out the food is fab! Cute little finches and sweet dogs as well! Can’t wait to return!

Nothing I didn’t like, except for leaving

Great coffee in the morning. Short walk to the beach. Delicious veg curry and chapatti for dinner.

The Surf.

Owner Mani is an absolute legend, laid back and generous. So welcoming, friendly and hospitable. Went out of his way to make our stay easy. Rooms were awesome for what you pay for. Close to everything Excellent breakfast and coffee

That we had to leave :(

Mani is a great host and the facility spotless.

Property was very nice and clean

Spacious room, nicely decorated, good location, great hospitality

Very neatly maintained property

The host was very cooperative and friendly.

Wonderful hospitality by the host .. very clean and neat rooms. Food was also good and at reasonable rates

Loved it.. no complaints

Pan Cake is exceptional

Lovely family run guesthouse. Very clean and spacious room. Lots of sockets which was handy. Not too far to walk to beach and restaurants. Lovely indian home cooked food for breakfast and dinner. Organised a taxi for me which was better value than at the taxi stand.

The seating area outside my room had a fridge on it so wasn't very welcoming. However, it was quite hot so I didn't say anything. I'm sure they would have moved it if I had wanted

Great staff - big clean room - balcony - simple and delicious food onsite - very helpful owner/manager. Very good experience. Beach is about 400m walking distance. The path actually takes you to Lighthouse Beach which is much better than Hawa Beach anyway.

Location of property was good and behavior of property owner was also very nice and supportive.

Dogs

The atmosphere of this place is amazing - we even extended for an extra night. Downstairs a small cafe that serves an excellent breakfast and tea with amazing selection of sides. The hosts Mani and Mandju are so attentive, we truly couldn't ask for more. The rooms are tidy and spacious with nice decor. Location is also great - just short stroll to Kovalam beach. Would come back again in a heartbeat.

Best experience ever in any stay Breakfast + service are amazing

Very good location is kovalam beach near me I like chai and coffee ☕

Best place in kovalam ..😍😍 Best price Best staff and special for menger is very good person

Clean room Budget friendly Good stay🩶

They denied to Provide the room after reaching the hotel, after argument they offer us non ac room

The place exceeded our expectations in all ways - be it food or the rooms or the service. The AC room size was huge and the décor was very nice. The Non AC room too was very spacious. The staff was very helpful and made it feel like home. Their food was delicious and at the same time hygienic. Cleanliness was taken care off and the overall vibe of the place was welcoming. Wished we stayed for more days. Beach was within 5 min walking distance. Unlike most Kovalam hotels, you can get an auto/car right outside the hotel.

Super nice owners, and staff working there. Really, notpossible to ask for more. We also ordered how cooked dinener and it was delicious. Highly reccomended

If you like to stay in Kovalam and you do not really like touristic hotels, try this one. You might be surprised to meet this friendly people and enjoy your stay.

Great location to visit Kovalam

The bed was a little hard for me

The place Is very quite, even if is on the street is surrounded by nature. The room I got had double beds, double windows ( more light and wind), fridge, heather to make tea and coffee, drinking water filler outside. Family restaurant ground Flor. Lovely sound of the temples and the animals around.

One of the best places I have stayed at. The people were warm and friendly. The room and bathroom was spotless, it also included a refrigerator. The breakfast was delicious as were the other meals I had there along with the fresh lime juice. All this for very very reasonable prices which you don't expect near the ocean. I would recommend you stay here. They also run a surf shop at the beach, I tried it out here and enjoyed it.

I literally couldn't find anything I disliked here

We received a very warm welcome from Abhi and were able to check in early as the room was available. Everything was lovely and clean and the room was very nicely furnished. In all our travels throughout India over the years this place was the highest standard. We found everyone very friendly and Abhi had gone to a lot of trouble to think of the small details which make for a good stay like providing a kettle with tea, coffee, sugar and milk on arrival together with a bottle of chilled mineral water in the fridge . Everything worked well and the place had good security. The location was ideal as it was not far from the seafront and shops. Excellent value for money and we would highly recommend Abhi's place.

Nothing to dislike.

Nice stay in kovalam room very clean nice staff

The room was very comfortable, with plenty of cupboard space, chairs, table and fridge. There was a small lockable cupboard in which to keep valuables. The fan provided adequate cooling and I certainly didn't require air-con. A free laundry service was provided. Both soap and towels were provided and even though I was only there 5 nights the offer was there to change my sheets.

The location, although being nicely away from the beach (but just a few minutes walk away) it was used heavily by bikes. This is no fault of the hotel - it just is what it is! Once I was asleep I didn't notice any disturbance.

The staff was very helpful. They picked me up at the train platform. They were very accommodating and helpful with everything I needed. Communication was great before I arrived. They provided water refills, which is great for the environment.

The bathroom could have been a little cleaner and the sheets and towels were stained.

The location was perfect and the beach is just nearby 5 mins by walk. there are nice restaurants to eat.. the host (mani) he is such a nice person he was always available for the help.

Nothing

Great place. Our room (large) was perfect. It had two parts - in one there was a large bed and in front of the door there were nice, heavy wooden Indian furniture that added charm to the whole. Abha's Cafe, immersed in greenery, is perfect for a longer stay. We have to go back there. About 10 minutes to the sea along a green road. Very good price in relation to the quality. We highly recommend it. The owner, speaking very good English, is very nice and helpful.

Nothing

A perfect economic stay quite close to the beach and the cafes/restaurants.

Hospitality was excellent!

A little bit noisy. Also, could’ve use protein breakfast. Otherwise very fun environment with the birds.

Spotless clean large room and bathroom. They only got a few rooms, so it's very quiet. Nice balcony with table and chairs, overlooking fields full of palm trees. Ducks strolling around on the street. Friendly English speaking staff. It's a bit out of the way, but the cost of the room made up for that. You can walk to the beach or the bus stop in 5 min. Excellent and reliable WiFi.

It was nothing I didn't like, but the mattress was a bit hard.

Very friendly owner and received very good hospitality. Highly recommended.

Bed size can be extended for couple.

Amazing place to stay at budget, owner is very humble and nice person. My wife forget her phone in room during checkout, he drive to us for return the mobile. He also provide us a 2 wheeler for explore nearby places. Highly Recommended.

Owners and stuff, madam Mandju and her sons are so polite, kind and helpful. Staying there was very comfortable for me.

I visited off-season and was very well looked after by the staff. It was very quiet and relaxing to be a few hundred meters away from the main beach area. The room was spotless, (no AC) would recommend it if you are on a budget.
