New Woodlands Hotel, Wood’s Junction, Ernakulam South, Kochi: Date stayed: 06.02.2019 – 10.02.2019. Purpose of visit: To attend National Medical Conference, Type of Room: 1 Deluxe(3x), Price for 4 nights was ₹ 4,014, inclusive of complimentary breakfast.

The hotel was established in 1950, and the lobby reflects the age, with the furniture with stained upholstery and a small plywood front desk. It is humid & hot, with no AC. Room: Spacious, with a double bed. But, the old cot – with its projecting sharp plywood corners, in some edges has given away – hurt & drew blood from my legs a couple of times.

There are no bath towels, soap, comb etc supplied. There is 24 Hr hot water supply. Breakfast starts only from 8 AM, unlike in many places – which provide at 7AM. On 1st day, I had breakfast from Udupi Anantha Bhavan -which serves food from 6.45AM. Next couple of days, I had from the hotel – but, food quality is not good, and to make it worse – it is not served hot. Though the location is central, to get some sundry things you have to walk a long distance, as only hotels, big jewelry shops etc are there in this stretch of M. G. Road. To make matters worse, walking along the roads also is difficult, because of on-going Metro works. …
