Centrally located the hotel is a great base from which to explore the main attractions of Trivandrum primarily accessible by auto-rickshaw or on foot. A short auto-rickshaw ride of about 10-15 minutes will take you to the Napier Museum and the adjacent Thiruvananthapuram Zoo situated within a large, leafy park offering a welcome respite from the bustle of the city. The famous Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, an imposing example of Dravidian architecture, is a 10-minute auto-rickshaw ride from here. Remember to check out the strict dress code before you visit.

The Chalai Market is truly a local experience: it is one of the oldest and busiest markets in Kerala and quite a fascinating and chaotic place to explore. It is located just about 10-15 minutes on foot from the hotel. Spice, textiles, electronics, and fresh produce all available here. Main shopping thoroughfare Mahatma Gandhi Road (MG Road), modern brand stores coexist with old local shops, is not far off as well. Quite a number of local cinema halls are at walking distance in case one would like to catch up with a Malayalam or a Bollywood flick.

Though the locality is presently devoted to transit points, this very amenity forms the crux of its advantages. So it's quick to reach KSRTC bus station within less than 5 minutes on foot and to catch a bus to almost any place in Kerala, including popular adjacent beach destinations like Kovalam or Varkala. The Trivandrum Central railway station is equally nearby easing further travel by train to any destination.
