CHAITHRAM centrally located KTDC Hotel
This Hotel owned by KTDC, Kerala Govt undertaking is located very near to the Trivandrum Central Ralway Station and KSRTC Central Bus Station. Hotel Rooms require urgent maintenance to keep up with modern comforts. There are non-working water taps, hot water comes in a thread in the 5th floor bath room.Premises and rooms require extensive maintenance and repairs. It is family friendly budget hotel,the staff service is OK, but not great. There is a restaurant which serves neat food. I have to wait about 10 minutes at the check-in counter as the staff there took lot of time to verify the Reservation and allot room. Room is of average comforts, TV and Ac was working fortunately, bathroom requires renovation, as taps are leaking, hot water comes in a thread at the 5th floor room,

Not Great, but not bad too!
Pretty much like - what you get is what you pay for. Ok, if you don't want to be in room for whole day. Small room. Helpful staff. Biggest plus is, its proximity to train station. Taxi drivers that wait outside the hotel gate are the only ones you can get in this area, and therefore, they have a monopoly on rates.

Did not feel welcome at all.
I arrived at 11 PM. There were about six men standing around. None of them could locate my booking. I had to show them my booking by going to their own computer and pulling it up on my email. This was after about 30 minutes of them telling me I had no booking so I should leave.

For business travel or family trip Chaitam is a nice and comfortable place to stay. It is centrally located. In Future when we visit Thiruvanatapuram we intend to stay in Chaitam only.

Stay at Chaitram in June 15....
I have been staying here many times. this time I found there is a lot of change in room maintainance, service levels, turnaround time etc., Unlesss you improve on this, the KTDC brand will get affected very soon. Room service was poor. Even bed spreads are not changed properly. Towels are not changed properly & Qualify of clothes are very minimal. Seriously work on improving the quality of stay, irrespective of rate

KTDC Chaithram stay
The only positive thing about the hotel, as somebody had previously written, is the proximity to the Railway station. With old furniture, shabby rooms it is hightime the unit is refurbished. They are not providing any faucets in lavatory and the tap is out of reach. The toilet tissue paper was placed not on its stand but on the flushing cistern

Average...
We stayed for 1 day and booked this hotel through hotels.com. The booking process was quite simple; thanks to hotels.com. About the hotel, I could say the hotel was quite expensive and to my knowledge, there were other hotels in the vicinity which offered rooms at a lesser price with better amenities. Since there was no accommodation, we had to settle for this one. There was no shower in the bathroom, no hand gun for the toilet (we had to use the mug :-(...) the toileteries were like the one in the govt offices. Overall, ok but one may look for other options before settling for this.

This hotel has all the necessary amenities, but the staff are hopeless. For us 3, we were provided one bathroom towel, room were not cleaned. After checkout, they haven't issued the bill even after requesting multiple times. During booking it was shown as 1650 per night, at counter they charged me 1850, I am sure there is some evil thinking behind all these things. There is no wonder why government organizations are failing in there business. Only God only can correct them!. I wish these people travel outside at least once and see what is happening in other hotels of same level.

Typical Govt Hotel
The only advantage is that this hotel is present in the City and opp to Railway station. Close to all theaters, shopping and restaurants. Do not take the Suite Rooms as it is directly facing the road and all the noise from the bus traffic and trains hits you directly. It makes us very difficult to sleep. The Suite rooms does not provide value for money, Old Cupboards, Cleaning is a eye wash, Old A/Cs, broken shower, No Geyser, Hot water is provided only on certain timings and that too will be warmer in nature. If you are having kids or old aged guests who needs hot water then it is difficult to manage without hot water. The buffet breakfast is Ok but the staff do not refill it on time. Managing the refill is not proper. Overall i do not recommend this hotel if you are looking for a comfortable stay in the city.
