I used to stay in YMCA Trivandrum since last 20 years. I like the location of YMCA, at the heart of the city close to Secretariat and M G Road. Years back the bath attached rooms were limited but later the building was renovated and now very good standard rooms are available. Rates are reasonable and you can go anywhere... More

We stayed in the YMCA hotel for four nights. When we arrived we felt really welcome. The staff recognized our reservation directly and showed us the nice high roof room at the frontside of the hotel. We used our own mosquito net. The hotel was of great value for only 730rs per night. We arrived on a Saturday evening when... More

As a YMCA we found this place very disapointing and we are no strangers to YMs. We booked a top of the range room on the ground floor as my wife cannot easily manage stairs these days. The room was clean, no criticism there, and vast. But very little furniture so it was like living in a cave. One decent... More

is a very appropriate and indicated place to spend one or two nights in the city. Calm, clean, comfortable, helpful staff and the most is the great price. Excelent value for money. Nice restaurants around

Large clean rooms, comfortable beds, cheap price and helpful staff... We stayed just 1 night while we visited Kovalam and then headed up to Varkala on the bus... would recommend it. We arrived late without a reservation but the staff were helpful and got us fresh bedding. I would recommend phoning ahead and booking as it was locked up with... More

The rooms are very spacious, airy and a bargain at their price (single is Rs. 550+tax and around Rs. 850+tax for A/C) considering the location in Tuticorin. It is only 5 minutes from the central train station and around 20-30 minutes from the airport. The rooms are clean and so are the bedsheets. The towel however had a few stains... More

This place is comfortable, and a bargain. Room 101 had a lofty, timber ceiling and double doors onto a terrace. The room was enormous and contained a wardrobe; a vanity area; a luggage holder big enough for all your bags; two lounge chairs, with a coffee table between them; a desk and chair; a hard, but comfortable, double bed (which...

YMCA: very clean and huge double room with bathroom with hot water, great value. 620 for a double, singles are less but were fully booked.

We only spent one night at the YMCA, but it was a great way for us to tighten the budget but still get a good, clean room. It was probably the cleanest bathroom we have had in the whole of India. Location was great, close to cheap restaurants and the train. I fully recommend!
