M beautiful stay at Nutshell

We had a beautiful stay. Both Nisha Ji and her Husband are very humble people. They made sure the guests had a lovely stay at their property. This property is very close to the Trivandrum airport. The sound of the ocean waves is simply beautiful. I would love to stay there whenever I visit there next time.

We had a wonderful stay. The facility was beautiful, nicely furnished and very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They helped us with our bags, arranged a ride to a restaurant for us, and gave us a ride to the airport in the morning. It's super close to the airport which is very convenient. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and listening to the sound of the ocean. We would definitely stay here again!

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
1. We had to spend a few hours before going to the airport and this was a perfect spot. 2. Driving-in is a little misleading as you hit a dead end on the ocean and a narrow left takes you to wide parking lot. Perfect location. 3. The land lady and staff are very nice. Room is very functional. Ocean view terrace is very useful specially when friends visit. 4. Complementary 24 hr drop to either airport is too good. Must stay.

The owner was very nice and helpful. It’s very close to the airport so if you have an early flight or arrive late in the evening, it is perfect.
