Rajadhani 5th season is a two star hotel on the coast at North Kliff, Kurakkanni, in Varkala, Thiruvananthapuram district, South Kerala. It stands 2.5 km from the centre of Varkala and holds a guest score of 4.1 out of 5 from 183 reviews. That score, and the fact that the cliff and sea are close by, are the things that decide whether it suits you.
What the hotel lists
Rajadhani 5th season is a two star property. The facilities listed are practical rather than ornamental: air conditioning in the rooms, free WiFi, room service, a 24 hour front desk, luggage storage and laundry. For a coastal stay where damp air and salt are constant, the air conditioning and the laundry matter more than they would inland.
Car hire and currency exchange are also listed, along with free parking. The 24 hour front desk and luggage storage help if you arrive on a late train or leave early. The guest score on file is 4.1 out of 5 from 183 reviews. No other guest score is on file.
Where it sits
Rajadhani 5th season is at North Kliff, Kurakkanni, Varkala, Kerala 695141, in Thiruvananthapuram district, South Kerala. Varkala is a town in Thiruvananthapuram district, a tourism hub, and this property stands 2.5 km from the centre of Varkala.
The setting is on the coast, by the sea. The destination is Varkala, a Coast kind of place, and the altitude runs from 0 to 45 m. The red laterite cliff above the Arabian Sea is the reason the beach exists here, and the town and a pilgrimage tank sit at the bottom of it. This is the only cliff on this coast.
Who it suits
Rajadhani 5th season suits travellers who want a plain, well equipped base near the Varkala coast and are content to be 2.5 km from the centre of Varkala. It does not suit anyone expecting a cliff edge position or a higher star rating, because it is a two star property set back from the centre. Couples and independent travellers who value air conditioning, free WiFi and a 24 hour front desk will find it fits.
Planning a stay
Come between November and March, which is the season for this coast. In the wet months, cliff erosion work closes stretches of the path, so plans around the cliff need a fallback. Papanasam beach below the cliff is a pilgrimage site as well as a swimming beach, so dress accordingly. Trains from Thiruvananthapuram and Kollam stop in town, so no car is needed.
