Green View is a two star hotel on the Thekkady bypass road, 2.9 km from Thekkady and 18 km from the centre of Kattappana in Idukki district, South Kerala. Facilities include a spa, massage, yoga, a garden, terrace and playground, and it holds 4.5 out of 5 from 439 reviews. The guest score and the facilities decide whether it suits you, not the star rating.
Rooms, meals and facilities
Green View lists a broad range of facilities for a two star property. Rooms are non smoking and many have a balcony; the 24 hour front desk, 24 hour security, luggage storage and room service cover the practical side of arrivals and departures at any hour. Breakfast is served, laundry and currency exchange are on hand, and car hire and a shuttle service help with local movement.
The leisure list is longer than the star rating suggests: a spa, massage, yoga, a beauty salon, a garden, a terrace and a playground. Free WiFi and free parking are included. The guest score is 4.5 out of 5 from 439 reviews, which is high for a two star hotel, so the facilities above are the reason guests rate it well. None of that is a rating invented here; it is the score on file.
Thekkady, Kattappana and the reserve
Green View sits outside Kattappana, in the wider Idukki district, South Kerala. Kattappana is a town in Idukki district, and the hotel is 18 km from the centre of Kattappana. The address is on the Thekkady bypass road, and the hotel is 2.9 km from Thekkady, so the reserve is the nearest destination of its kind.
Thekkady is the town 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. Cardamom country begins at the edge of the plantation belt behind it. The reserve sits between 900 and 1,200 m, which keeps the air cool. Spice smallholdings on the road up are working farms, not demonstration gardens, and the Tamil Nadu border is minutes away, so the food changes within a few kilometres.
Who this place suits
Green View suits travellers who want a base 2.9 km from Thekkady with a full set of facilities on site: a spa, massage, yoga, a garden, a terrace and a playground, plus breakfast, laundry, currency exchange and car hire. The 4.5 out of 5 from 439 reviews supports that choice. It does not suit anyone who needs to be in the centre of Kattappana, at 18 km, or who expects a star rating higher than two.
When to come and what to plan
October to March is the season for wildlife around the lake at Thekkady. The reserve stays open through the monsoon, so a green season visit is possible if the wildlife is not the main aim. The hotel's car hire and shuttle service are useful for the 2.9 km to Thekkady and for the 18 km to Kattappana, and free parking helps if you arrive with your own vehicle.
