Hollyhock is a three star hotel in Pothamedu, 600 m from the centre of Munnar, about 10 minutes on foot, in Idukki district, South Kerala. It has one listed facility, a restaurant, and a guest score of 3.5 out of 5 from 385 reviews. If you want a base for the hills and easy access to Munnar, it is a straightforward choice.
What Hollyhock provides
Hollyhock is a three star hotel that keeps its offering simple. The only facility listed is a restaurant, which means meals are available on site without needing to walk into Munnar for every one. For a hill stay where the weather can turn cold or wet, having food at the property is a practical point in its favour. The guest score is 3.5 out of 5 from 385 reviews, so the property has a substantial record behind it.
The three star rating sets expectations: comfortable, functional, without the trappings of a larger resort. No other facilities are listed, so come expecting the essentials and not a long list of extras. That is not a criticism, just a fact that shapes the kind of stay you will have.
Where Hollyhock sits
The address is Pothamedu, a locality within Munnar. The hotel is 600 m from the centre of Munnar, about 10 minutes on foot, which puts the town within easy reach. Munnar is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub, and Hollyhock sits in South Kerala, in the hills. The destination here is Munnar itself, a hill town at 1,500 to 2,695 m, where tea grows from 1,500 metres up to the grassland.
The hills around Munnar were planted with tea by the Scots in the 1880s. Anamudi, the highest point in India south of the Himalaya, sits on the eastern edge at 2,695 metres. Being based in Munnar puts you in the middle of that landscape. The 600 m walk to the centre means you are close enough to reach town on foot, but not sleeping on top of it.
Who Hollyhock suits
Hollyhock suits travellers who want a simple, well-located base in Munnar with meals available on site and a short walk to town. It suits walkers and those using Munnar as a base for the hills, and anyone who values a central position over resort facilities. It does not suit travellers who want extensive amenities or the atmosphere of a larger property. The 3.5 out of 5 guest score suggests a solid, unspectacular stay, so if you need more than that, look elsewhere.
Planning your stay
The best time to come is September to May. The heavy monsoon months bring closed-in cloud and landslip risk, so plan around them. January mornings can frost, which is worth knowing if you are packing for a hill stay. With only a restaurant listed, plan your meals around the hotel or the short walk into Munnar. The location makes it easy to use the town as your base for exploring the hills.
