Hotel Archana Inn

Our room had an air conditioner that did not work. No lifts....we had to carry luggage upstairs! We were then moved to Horel Aiswarya.

Entrance dark...badly lit Reception area dark Carry bags upstairs

Location is not bad, it's just 7 mins to Ernakulam Junction. I don't know what else was good about this hotel as my experience was too bad.

If I knew the conditions at this hotel, I would never stay even a night there. Room was basic, bed linen seemed not clean and had dirty spots. Towels were the same, spotted. Walls were dirty too, there was dust some places (e.g. on TV). I also found some rat excrements on the table, but I couldn't believe until I didn't see rats myself. Yeah, I am not kidding, RATS were running in my room without any problem. That was my worst stay ever. Room rate is 1000 rs per night, that doesn't really reflect the service and facilities offered. I wouldn't have paid a single rupee to stay there. I'm surprised I couldn't find any review that describes this hotel as it is. I am not sure about other rooms, but this all happened in my roon #711. I am writing this to prevent other travelers and potential guests to staying in this terrible hotel. Besides, check-out time here is indicated as "until 12 p.m.". The reception guy knocked my door at about 11:40 and insisted me on leaving the room, because I was late on check-out and it was 11:30 as he said. So, there's misinformation here about check-out time.
