Aaha Airport Hotel

No clean room

This hotel is so odd! It is very near the airport, so if you really need only a bed close to the airport go for it. It is cheap, thank goodness, but it is not pretty. The pool was ok(ish) but surrounded by apartments, nets and a concrete building site. The small child's pool was empty and sad. I'm not sure how to describe this place. I'm truly confused by the reviews that rate it highly. It is functional, that is it.

Run down, lack of atmosphere, ghost-town feel. No equipment in the kitchen of our room - no cutlery, plates or anything. Nets everywhere to keep birds out. Surrounded by concrete unfinished buildings.

The room itself was clean, spacious and a/c good. If you just need a few hours sleep before or after flight it's ok,but if you are looking forward to relaxing and using the pool etc, please re-consider. The photos are very old.

I don't know where to start. The photographs are very old and misleading. It is a gigantic monster of a building, terribly decaying. The pool was dirty and I didn't want to go in; and there was a huge plastic roof high above, so, not open air, and big birds were nesting in the balconies and flying around so it felt like being in a massive avery . There was mesh in front of the balconies but it didnt reassure me that I wouldnt be bombarded by the birds. Not pleasant. And long eerie corridors, we didn't see another person during our stay... It felt like a Keralan version of the "Shining". The staff at reception were friendly enough but we phoned to ask about the spa/massage times and they never got back to us. They do have a separate restaurant attached but we didnt use this as we wanted a beer as it was our last night. We were assured that a hotel opposite served food and drinks; however it was closed. We were very disappointed with our last night in beautiful Kerala.
