OYO 13315 Kottaram Beachway Resort is a two star property in the centre of Alappuzha, the headquarters of Alappuzha district in South Kerala. It lists air conditioning, breakfast, free WiFi, free parking and non smoking rooms, and holds 3.8 out of 5 from 143 reviews. The position, 50 m from the centre of Alappuzha, about 5 minutes on foot, is what decides whether it suits you.
The property itself
OYO 13315 Kottaram Beachway Resort carries a two star rating and a guest score of 3.8 out of 5 from 143 reviews. For a place at the centre of a Kerala water town, that combination points to a straightforward, well used property rather than a polished one. The facilities are the practical sort: air conditioning and non smoking rooms set the terms of the room, breakfast covers the first meal of the day, and free WiFi and free parking remove two usual points of friction for people arriving by road or needing to work.
Nothing here is aimed at guests looking for grounds to wander or a long list of services. The value is in the location and in the basics being handled. Rooms have air conditioning, the property is non smoking, and breakfast is available, so the day can start without a hunt for food. Free WiFi and free parking are the two facilities that make most difference to a short stay, and both are listed.
Where it sits
The address places the property at Collectrate Jn in Alappuzha, and the town is the headquarters of Alappuzha district. That matters because Alappuzha is a working district town first and a visitor destination second, so the centre holds the everyday life of the place as well as its waterfront. The property is 50 m from the centre of Alappuzha, about 5 minutes on foot, which is close enough to leave the car and walk into the middle of things.
Alappuzha sits in South Kerala and near the coast, at 0 to 2 m above sea level. The destination is Alappuzha itself, and the town is the destination. This is water country: the public ferries leave from here, and Kuttanad farming country starts at the edge of town, the only place in India where rice is grown below sea level. Kochi airport is one hour by road from here in normal traffic.
Who it suits
It suits travellers who want to be on foot in the centre of Alappuzha, within a short walk of the middle of town, and who treat the room as a base rather than a destination. It also suits drivers, since free parking is listed, and anyone who needs to keep in touch, given free WiFi. It does not suit guests who want resort grounds, quiet, or a long list of leisure facilities; the property is a two star town address with a limited and practical set of services.
Planning a stay
August to March reads best on the water, so plan around that window if the canals and the ferry crossings are the point of the trip. The southwest monsoon is spectacular and wet, with the canals high and the light short, which changes what a day looks like rather than ruling it out. Breakfast is listed, which simplifies early starts, and air conditioning matters in any season here.

Questions people ask
What is the guest score for OYO 13315 Kottaram Beachway Resort?
The property holds 3.8 out of 5 from 143 reviews. No other score is on file. That places it in the range of a well used, two star town property rather than a high end stay, which matches what the address and facilities suggest.
Which facilities are available at the property?
The listed facilities are air conditioning, breakfast, free WiFi, free parking and non smoking rooms. Those cover the room, the first meal, connectivity and parking for a car. Nothing beyond this list is available, so plan the rest of the day around the town.
How far is it from Alappuzha centre?
The property is 50 m from the centre of Alappuzha, about 5 minutes on foot. That puts the middle of town within a short walk, so leaving a car parked for the day is realistic, and the town itself is easy to reach on foot.
What makes Alappuzha worth basing in?
The public ferries leave from here, and they beat an overnight houseboat on every measure that matters. Kuttanad farming country starts at the edge of town, the only place in India where rice is grown below sea level. Kochi airport is one hour by road in normal traffic, so it works as a first or last stop.
