This was our second stay at The Leela Raviz, one year after our first stay. We were equally blown away the second time by the breezy beauty of this lakefront resort and being so kindly greeted by Lenin the security guard who recognized us from our first visit! A true gem of Kerala, the resort and staff surpass others with the quality of service, cleanliness, and sheer beauty of this heritage building and property design.

Lobby is very pleasant and beautiful. Don’t know about the main building but we were in a separate building. Carpet in the hallway needs updating. Room is out dated as well as bathroom. Does not look like 4-5 star hotel. Breakfast was okay. Restaurant looked wry old style. Other than that bed was comfortable. Lobby ambiance is very pretty.

The Leela Ashtamudi is a truly beautiful hotel with a prime position overlooking the backwaters. The staff were excellent. The complementary high tea and house boat cruise really made our stay in Kollam. Our room was of a very high standard but tired in areas, as were some parts of the hotel. Overall excellent but management could really do with investing in maintenance/upgrade to make this a truly world class destination.
