Feedback about The Leela Ashtamudi, A Raviz Hotel from previous guests about their experience
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently appreciate the hotel's Kerala-style architecture and its prime location on the banks of Ashtamudi Lake. The spacious, well-decorated lakeview premium king rooms often feature a jacuzzi and separate bath. Complimentary offerings such as high tea and boat rides are a highlight for many, although some guests have noted occasional issues with the air conditioning in rooms.
The lobby had a beautiful view of the lake. The sunset cruise was also great (I loved the views!).
The shower head was clogged with limescale, so the water flow was poor. Water leaked from the shower into the toilet area. This created a slipping hazard.

Awesome Lakeside Experience!
pristine nature kerala style spacious room separate bath
I found a lovely hotel nestled in pristine nature. It sits right on Ashtamudi Lake banks. The architecture follows Kerala style, with arches, pillars, tiled roofs, and great balconies. My lakeview premium king room felt spacious with a jacuzzi, separate bath, and WC. These features works well if there are two or three occupants.
The gym was quite small.

The hotel grounds sits beside the scenic Ashtamudi Lake which is great. The breeze flows through the public sitting areas and ensures it is comfortable. Its position on the lakeside is fantastic.

My royal premier lake view king room was cavernous. The room reminded me of a church converted for exclusive use. The layout of the wardrobes, toilets, and bathroom felt unique and expansive, just awesome.

relaxing lakeside escape
fresh fruit sunset views
After a long journey, this hotel was a welcome sight. the room was well-appointed, and the staff was quite attentive to our needs (i especially liked the fresh fruit provided daily). i took advantage of the boat cruise and thoroughly enjoyed the sunset views. It was a highlight of my stay.
I found that the air conditioning in the room was a bit too strong and difficult to adjust. This caused a little discomfort during the night, though i adjusted with an extra blanket.
