What Coffee Inn provides
Coffee Inn is a three star property with a 4.4 out of 5 guest score from 413 reviews. The facilities group into three useful areas: outdoor space, practical services and room arrangements. Balcony, garden and terrace give guests somewhere to sit outside, while 24 hour security, laundry and free parking cover the basics of a stay.
Non smoking rooms and family rooms appear in the listing, so both couples and groups with children have a clear choice. The guest score suggests these arrangements work for most people who book.
Where Coffee Inn sits
Coffee Inn stands on Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary Lake Road, outside Kattappana, in the wider Idukki district of South Kerala. The address places it inland, on the edge of the reserve rather than in a town. The nearest town, Kattappana, is 18.4 km from the centre of Kattappana.
The destination is Thekkady, and Coffee Inn is 2.5 km from Thekkady, about 30 minutes on foot. Thekkady sits at 900 to 1,200 m, at the gate of Periyar, a reserve built around a lake made by a dam in 1895, where the drowned forest still stands in the water.
Who should stay here
Coffee Inn suits wildlife visitors who want to be near Periyar and the lake, and who accept that Kattappana is 18.4 km from the centre of Kattappana. It also suits those who prefer a garden, terrace and balcony to a town address. It does not suit travellers who want to step out into a busy town centre, since the property sits outside the town.
Planning your stay
October to March is the season for wildlife around the lake, though the reserve stays open through the monsoon. Ranger-led walks and the early boat are booked at the visitor centre, so plan those first. The walk to Thekkady takes about 30 minutes.
