The Leela Ashtamudi, A Raviz Hotel

Dear Mr. Manik We had a very good time in your hotel. Wish we had more time to spend there. The food was delicious, very good customer service, nice Christmas decor, and a beautiful hotel with a classic look. We missed a boat tour of the lake because of time but had a lake view from our room window. We immensely enjoyed the live classical dance performance in the evening. Keep doing a good job.

Leela Ashtamudi staff made our stay memorable and pleasant, making us wanting to come again. The staff was attentive to our needs and ensures our comfort. Food options, stay, spa experience was very good. Joyel made our stay very special. Ria and Sai were great with their spa services.

A Memorable holiday experience to cherish The experience of our stay was memorable, beginning with the welcome at the airport by the chauffeur to take us to Leela hotel Ashtamudi, 85 kilometers from the Trivendrum airport. Our special request to take us to the temple before driving to the hotel was instantly agreed. After the darshan of Lord Padmanabhaswamy, we drove to the hotel. It was late in the night, but the reception was excellent. We were guided by the reception staff to the restaurant for dinner, which was about to close at night. Check-in formalities were done later. The staff are trained to be pleasant in receiving guests at odd times with the same lively enthusiasm. The room was kept ready, and incidentally, it was the birthday; the floral decoration was done with greetings and the welcome message was impressive. The linen used for the bed, pillows, and towels was neat, fresh, and clean. The normal accessories/facilities like drinking water, toiletries, hot kettle, coffee/tea sachets were neatly organised. The staff carrying our baggage, accompanying us to the room, explained the switches and operations of the AC, etc. The breakfast in the restaurant, the next morning, had a live counter and many other options suiting vegetarians and non-vegetarians. More than that, the staff serving us were cordial and readily assisted the guests in getting their items to the table. It was a pleasant experience to be in the restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The selection of the menu was different on different days. We stayed for 3 nights - May 30 to June 2, 2025. The reception area, lobby are well decorated, reflecting the aura of Kerala - God's own country. Almost life-size elephants on either side of a welcome arch and a spice display in a large boat adorned with paintings and artefacts. A well-accomplished professional flutist is often found entertaining guests in the lobby with his mesmerizing flute. Evening complimentary offerings included a cruise ride in the backwaters, followed by high tea. They also occasionally arrange for professional artists to have a dance program in the lobby in the evening. The hotel staff are very helpful and took good care to arrange for our visits to nearby tourist spots. Jatayu was one such spot we could visit. One has to use a cable car to reach the top of a hill. It is believed to be the center of the earth, a spot where the wings of the mega bird Jatayu were cut by Ravana, when Jatayu tried to rescue Maa Sita when Ravana abducted her. Maa Sita blessed Jatayu to be alive till he meets Shri Rama and Shri Lakshmana. It is also the spot where Lord Rama and Shri Lakshmana could get full information from Jatau. Thus, the three-day sojourn to Lila Asthtamudi - A Raviz Hotel has been a memorable experience where we felt safe, happy, and enjoyed a home-like environment away from home in the midst of well-trained staff. Mr. Manik, the Front Office Manager, was especially cordial and took good c

The Leela Ashtamudi offers a serene escape with its breathtaking views of the Ashtamudi Lake. The traditional Kerala architecture combined with modern amenities provides a unique and luxurious experience. The complimentary boat rides and evening cultural programs added a special touch to our stay

Top class hotel. Immaculately clean. Stunning views. The complimentary boat ride and chai every afternoon is an added bonus as is the local dancing in the evening. I ate breakfast. Food was lovely very tasty. Best of all was the staff. The hotels motto is "the guest is god" and they certainly lived up to this. I was made to feel like royalty. Special thanks to Anju, Ashwin, Revathi, Rewa Supratik , Vikas Namiz , Vipin and Lenin and many others for making me so welcome Definitely recommend in fact I am already planning to stay again later in the year

A great place to unplug. Tranquil setting by the lake, charming decor, great amenities, beautiful infinity-style pool, really good food and equally good customer service by all staff. Only one bit of ask I have is that I agree with the previous feedback that it'll be good to get rid of the single-serve bottles for waterand replace that with sealed reusable glass bottles or something to reduce that waste
