Railview Residency is a two star hotel on Railway Station Road in Alappuzha, the district headquarters of Alappuzha district in South Kerala. It has a guest score of 4.1 out of 5 from 555 reviews. A railway address decides most of the stay here: it suits travellers arriving or leaving by train on a short south Kerala leg, and it suits people who want to eat, sleep and move on with little ceremony.
What Railview Residency offers
Railview Residency is a two star hotel with air conditioning, non smoking rooms and family rooms. A 24 hour front desk, 24 hour security, express check in, concierge and valet parking cover arrivals at awkward hours. Inside, there is a restaurant, a cafe, breakfast, room service and a banquet hall; outside, a garden and a terrace. Free WiFi and free parking make a short stay easy to organise, and laundry, car hire and a shuttle service help with the next leg.
Its place in Alappuzha
Railview Residency sits on Railway Station Road in Alappuzha, 1.2 km from the centre of Alappuzha, about 15 minutes on foot. Alappuzha is the headquarters of Alappuzha district, in South Kerala, on the coast, by the sea, at 0 to 2 m above sea level. The town is the destination itself: a water town, worked by ferries and canals rather than by sightseeing.
Who should book it
Railview Residency suits rail travellers who want the station on the doorstep, and anyone treating Alappuzha as a first or last stop in Kerala. It does not suit guests looking for a resort feel or a quiet waterside garden; the address is a working road, and the reasons to stay are transport and convenience rather than atmosphere.
Planning your stay
Time a visit between August and March, when the water reads best. The southwest monsoon is spectacular and wet, with high canals and short light. The public ferries leave from Alappuzha, Kuttanad farming country starts at the edge of town, and the road from Kochi airport makes the town workable as a first or last stop.

Questions people ask
How far is Railview Residency from Alappuzha town centre?
Railview Residency is 1.2 km from the centre of Alappuzha, about 15 minutes on foot along Railway Station Road. That puts the station, the town and the guesthouse within one short walk of each other, which is the main practical reason to choose this address.
Does Railview Residency have air conditioning and WiFi?
Both are listed: air conditioning, non smoking rooms and family rooms are available, and free WiFi is on site. A restaurant, a cafe, breakfast and room service are also listed, so meals do not require leaving the property. The guest score is 4.1 out of 5 from 555 reviews.
When is the best time to stay in Alappuzha?
August to March is the season that reads best on the water. The southwest monsoon is spectacular and wet, with canals running high and the light turning short. Outside that window, expect rain to shape the day, so plan around the conditions rather than against them.
Is Railview Residency a good base for seeing Kuttanad?
It works as a base because Kuttanad farming country begins at the edge of Alappuzha, the only place in India where rice is grown below sea level, and the public ferries leave from the town. That combination suits travellers who want the backwater country without committing to an overnight houseboat.
