We just spent three weeks in India and have waited to do any reviews until we'd done the whole trip, so we were used to Indian standards etc and could review all the places we stayed fairly. We stayed at the Hill view beach resort in varkala and booked a month in advance via email. On the day even though... More

I stayed here with my family in Oct. We have visited Varkala several times before, but this is the first time we stayed at the Hill View. The location is great, right in the middle of the cliff top, but set far enough back to be out of the way. We stayed in an AC room, for Rs1800 and my... More

We reached Varkala late at around 10 pm so did not get much of a chance to look around for hotels. Our driver initially took us to the hotel adjacent to hillview but after seeing both rooms hillview was the clear winner. A great off season rate of 1200 for non Ac rooms, after a little bargaining was the icing... More

This is the first time that we have taken the aid of internet to plan our trip, otherwise, it had always been word of mouth. This time we combined it and decided on this hotel to spend the weekend, which turned out to be a wise decision. We had small children with us so the room size and cleanliness was... More

We spent 4 nights at Hill View. The location was great, close to restaurants of the North Cliff. We had an upstairs room, with a balcony and lovely sea view. Our A/C room was large with the biggest (and nicest) bathroom we had on our trip. That being said, we had some problems with the plumbing in our room which... More

Moved here after two very uncomfortable nights at the Akhil Beach Resort. Rooms were large as was the bathroom and were a good standard (for India and the price we paid) We had a seaview and the balcony was nice. Staff were generally nice and the attached Cafe Del Mar was one of the best restaurants we tried in Varkala.... More

Stayed here for 3 nights in first floor room 101 our son had lower one opposite, room cleaned everyday, clean sheets and towels, great view from balcony, breakfast included, 2500 rupees per night per room. Highly recomended. More

We thought this was a good budget hotel, we stayed in one of the cottages, which was clean and comfy, own terrace to sit on and was just what we needed. We stayed here for 4 nights and were very satisfied. Down side was the manager guy, he was so sullen and passed by on numerous occasions without a goodmorning,... More

After walking the strip and checking out all the bungalow like hotels we liked the look of, the Hill View stood out as the best of the bunch. We stayed for five nights. We love the beach but like a measure of privacy and quiet for hanging out as well and the Hill View provided this. We had an upstairs... More
