The Residency Tower is a four star hotel at the South Gate Of Government Secretariat in Thiruvananthapuram, 800 m from the centre of Thiruvananthapuram, about 10 minutes on foot. It carries a 4.2 out of 5 guest score from 5919 reviews. The address puts you beside the city's administrative core, and the long facility list covers most of what a city stay needs. It works if you want to be central and want the whole apparatus of a large hotel around you; it is less suited to anyone seeking a quiet, small scale place.
What the hotel provides
The Residency Tower is a four star hotel, and the guest score stands at 4.2 out of 5 from 5919 reviews. For a city hotel of this size, that is a steady record rather than a spectacular one, and it suggests a place that gets the fundamentals right for a large number of people.
The facilities are broad. There is an outdoor pool, a fitness centre, a restaurant, a bar, breakfast, room service, a minibar, air conditioning and non smoking rooms. For work or events there is a business centre and a banquet hall. Practical needs are covered by free WiFi, free parking, valet parking, car hire, a 24 hour front desk, 24 hour security, laundry, luggage storage, concierge, currency exchange, a lift, a terrace and wheelchair access, with special diet menus available.
Where it sits
The hotel is at the South Gate Of Government Secretariat in Thiruvananthapuram, the headquarters of Thiruvananthapuram district, a municipal corporation. That places it in South Kerala, near the coast, and the beach is nearby.
The address is 800 m from the centre of Thiruvananthapuram, about 10 minutes on foot. That is the single most useful fact about the location. You are not on the edge of the city looking in; you are at the middle of it, beside the secretariat, with the commercial and administrative centre within a short walk.
Who it suits
The Residency Tower suits people who want a full service, four star hotel in the centre of Thiruvananthapuram: business travellers, families, and anyone who values a pool, a fitness centre and a restaurant on site. It does not suit travellers looking for a small, quiet property or a resort atmosphere, because the setting is the city centre and the scale is large. The guest score confirms broad satisfaction rather than a niche following.
Before you book
The listing gives no check in or check out times, no details of room categories, and no information on how breakfast is served. Confirm these with the hotel before booking. It is also worth asking whether the outdoor pool or fitness centre has any maintenance closures during your dates, and whether the room you choose has a view or faces the road. The address is a landmark, so ask about access and parking if you are driving.
