Raheem Residency

A great heritage place to stay for a few days of exploring Alleppey and the backwaters, located across a local road by the massive beach. Hotel is a lovely well maintained old traditional building with a swimming pool and restaurant. Paid a bit more for a large traditional room with a large shared lounge and outside seating area next to the pool. Great restaurant and chef with a good menu choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner also serving alcohol. Guys in the restaurant very helpful and made us feel welcome - a big thankyou to Lee and his colleagues for looking after us so well. Google maps does not realise that highway 66 is on two elevated sections of flyover, so you cannot access the property from the flyover by the beach - you have to navigate through the adjoining Cullen or Palace   roads to the beach and hotel under the flyovers.

Ac in the room wasn’t working even though we paid for that and the staff doesn’t even respond towards it.

I did not get to stay at Raheem Residency. I was already in India when I cancelled my reservation. I was diagnosed with bronchitis and decided to cut short my trip. The hotel waived my fees even though the deadline for cancellation has past. Hotels with such values must be pleasant to stay with.
