Customer Testimonials
Kindest hosts, so helpful, and quick answers for every question you may have. The room and house is very clean and it's a beautiful place. For about 10 minutes rickshaw route from Trivandrum centre. Every morning we had homemade cooked indian breakfast !
A short drive and we were deposited at Graceful Guesthouse set in the gardens of Phillips Hill on the outskirts of the city. We arrived late but were warmly welcomed and left to get on with sorting ourselves out, The noises of the night filtered into our room with its bucket shower bathroom. A simple set up and a crisp cool sheet meant we were asleep quickly. We were woken in morning by a chaotic mix of jungle noises, not unpleasant. Our room had a big balcony which provided a glimpse through the palm trees to a few other houses. Breakfast was had with a couple of other guests; a couple from Spain trekking through Nepal and India, and and American lady here for 3 months. We ate iddiyappams (rice flour noodle hoppers) with egg curry and fresh papaya from their garden.
I had the pleasure of staying at this homestay for a 5th time, and this time my daughter accompanied me. She wanted to move the home to North Carolina so we could live in it permanently in the USA. As always, the communication was easy, the food was delicious, the facilities were spotless. If you want a peaceful and comfortable stay in Trivandrum, alone or with family, you must stay here.
My partner and I just spent a month at Graceful as we moved to Trivandrum for work. We couldn't have asked for anything more! The rooms are clean, comfortable and you can enjoy a beautiful view of the garden, birds and little animals from the balcony - a truly blissful spot to work from. Elsie's breakfast is so good that we would wake up every morning excited to discover what Indian delicacy was awaiting. Giles, Sylvia and Elsie are so kind and welcoming - from telling us stories and answering our endless questions about India and Kerala, giving us tips and suggestions about what to do in and around Trivandrum, calling taxis and tuk-tuk drivers, and helping us navigate the Indian bureaucracy. The use of the communal fridge and a little hob also made a massive difference in making us feel comfortable and independent, given our long stay. The trip downtown is only a short tuk-tuk ride, and you can find fresh simple south Indian food, fruit and veg and a supermarket just at the end of the road. I am sure we will be back!!
