Getting to Kollam Junction railway station depends mostly on which band your hotel falls into. Sree Janardhana Residency, at 190 m, is a 3-minute walk, so you can leave with minutes to spare and still reach the platform on foot. Hotel Nani, Hotel Sea Palace, Hotel Sea Pearl and The Quilon Beach Hotel and Convention Center fall between 630 m and 1.3 km, which is a comfortable walk of 9 to 20 minutes or a very short ride if you are carrying luggage. KTDC Tamarind Kollam, Capital O 19742 Hotel Dona Castle, Xaviers Residency and Chandra Inn sit between 1.4 km and 2.3 km, better covered by a quick auto-rickshaw or taxi, 22 to 35 minutes on foot. Hotel All Season, at 2.9 km, is the farthest, and a short drive is the sensible option, especially with bags or in the heat.
