OYO 12058 The Green Mushroom is a two star hotel on NH212 at Thalipuzha Mosque, outside Kalpetta in Wayanad district, North Kerala. It lists breakfast and free parking, and holds a guest score of 3.7 out of 5 from 325 reviews. The deciding factor is the address: this is a base for Wayanad's hills and plantations, not for a town centre stay.
The property itself
OYO 12058 The Green Mushroom is a two star hotel on NH212 at Thalipuzha Mosque in Wayanad district. The facilities it lists are short and practical: breakfast and free parking. Breakfast means you start the day on site before heading out into the district. Free parking matters here because the roads around Kalpetta and the wider hill country are best covered by vehicle, and having a space at the hotel removes a daily problem.
The guest score is 3.7 out of 5 from 325 reviews. That is a solid, unremarkable middle: enough guests have stayed to make the number meaningful, and the rating points to a place that does the basics without pretending to be more. If you want a resort with extensive services, this is not it. If you want a straightforward, well located stay with breakfast and parking covered, the property fits that brief.
Where it sits
The hotel stands on NH212 at Thalipuzha Mosque, outside Kalpetta, in the wider Wayanad district. Kalpetta is the headquarters of Wayanad district, and the property is 10.1 km from the centre of Kalpetta. Wayanad itself is a plateau in the north east, reached by a hairpin climb from the Malabar coast, with coffee and pepper under the trees rather than tea on open slopes. The destination sits at 700 to 2,100 m.
This is North Kerala, inland hill country. The setting is outside Kalpetta rather than in it, which means the address is quieter and the approach is by road. The district is older than the tourist map: the Edakkal petroglyphs are neolithic. Coffee, cardamom and pepper grow under canopy here, which is why the hills stay green rather than clipped. Three reasons to base yourself in Wayanad: the shade grown plantations, the Edakkal, Thirunelli and Sultan Bathery sites all inside an hour of each other, and a tiger reserve that borders Karnataka and Tamil Nadu so the forest is continuous in three directions.
Who it suits
OYO 12058 The Green Mushroom suits travellers with their own vehicle who want a simple, well placed base for the Wayanad hills, and who value breakfast and free parking over extra services. It does not suit anyone who wants to be in the middle of Kalpetta, or who expects a full service hotel with a long list of facilities. The 10.1 km from the centre of Kalpetta is the deciding detail.
Planning a stay
Come between September and May. That is the season for Wayanad, and the ghat road is the weak point in heavy rain, so the monsoon months are best avoided if your plans depend on the climb. The hotel lists breakfast and free parking, which covers the essentials for a hill stay. Plan around the district's spread: the Edakkal petroglyphs, Thirunelli and the Jain temple at Sultan Bathery are all inside an hour of each other, so a vehicle makes the most of the location.
