Looking forward something closer to beach. Checked the map and Trivandrum city hotels they are little far from beaches. Budget is around 3000Rs for a room with A/C. Just need decent sized A/C room which is clean/neat as I will not be using any other hotel facilities.

Kovalam may be difficult during holiday season. Better is to try in the city itself. For 3k you can get good deals. Kovalam is not a big drive from the city and also being in city you can get to the other attractions faster

Dreams, Rajdhani group, Central Residency are good hotels in your range

I have stayed in Hotel Ginger twice. It's a decent option with good car parking facility.

Sankam - Belgaum Budget Hotel for Overnight Stay. Brilliant option.

Last night, on our way to Goa from Mumbai we halted at Belgaum.

We had booked the overnight stay at Hotel Sankam Residency, (recommended by many on TBHP) which turned out to be a brilliant option!

Excellent rooms, great food and very economical prices. Service is outstanding, and quick to boot. They've even got a swimming pool if you have the time and the inclination for it.

Tariff charged was 2600+Taxes, and they take telephonic bookings directly so no need to rely on MMT etc. I've included the phone number below.

This could be a really good option for those looking for an overnight halt at Belgaum, perhaps even for a few days' stay.

Edit: Added Gmaps Pin - Hotel Sankam Residency

Airport Road, Off, Madras Bombay Trunk Rd, Azad Nagar, Gandhi Nagar, Belgaum, Karnataka 590016

If the wedding hall is someplace inside town (please check), you can try Hotel Kapilavasthu (next to KSRTC bus stand) or KPM Regency or Hotel Indraprastha. All these are in a 1-1.5km radius.

The wedding is at Kollengode, about 30kms from Palakkad Junction. I would prefer stay in Palakkad and travel to the wedding venue.

You can consider staying in Chittur which is just about 10-12kms from Kollengode.Mango Village is a very nice place to stay http://www.mangovillagekerala.com/

I will like to share my recent experience although I won't call it as fraud, rather it was pure negligence by hotel management and possibly online booking portal.

I was driving from Delhi to Halol (Gujrat) on 26th January 2019. I planned to start early in the morning from Delhi and planned to reach Halol at 11 pm. So booked Hotel OYO Aum Health Resort, Halol for 1 night (2 guests) from Goibibo web portal. It was a prepaid booking. I received confirmation email, SMS and confirmed hotel reservation. On the day of travel, when I reached Udaipur at around 5 pm and decided to call the hotel reception to inform that I will check-in late. I also wanted to inquire about dinner options at 11 pm. When I called the phone number on room reservation ticket provided by Goibibo, the call was directed to OYO customer care. The OYO customer care executive noted down my request of late check-in and assured me that my room is already ready and I can check-in at any time. I don't know why, but I thought I should personally talk to the hotel manager. So from internet, I found out the phone number of hotel reception. When I called hotel reception, the hotel manager informed me rudely that I won't get any room even though I have a confirmed booking, and the reason given by him was, hotel has been overbooked . When I asked him what should I do in a strange city at 11 pm, he answered, it is not his problem. Then I called OYO and informed the whole story. The customer executive told me that they can't do anything and I should contact Goibibo. Fortunately, Goibibo customer care took prompt action on my complaint and made alternate booking for me in another hotel in Vadodara. But due to all this, I lost valuable 1 & half hours of driving time. I finally reached Vadodara at 1 am.

What would have happened if I would not have thought of calling the hotel to inform my late check-in? What if I would have been convinced by assurance of OYO customer care that my room is ready? What would I have done after reaching the hotel (OYO Aum Health Resort) at 11 pm to find that I won't get any room?

Hereafter I have decided that even after prepaid confirmed hotel booking, I will call the hotel reception (and not the customer care of OYO etc) and confirm that they will honor my booking.

Many smaller hotels in Gujarat and a few other states have a running fight with Oyo and other booking portals and aggregators over commission rates etc. So call the hotel and book directly especially when the booking is for a smaller hotel that’s not in a major city.

I will be in Chennai tomorrow, 4-4-19 for a days work. Will arrive by train in the morning at around 430AM and need to visit a shop which will repair my Synthesizer. The shop opens only at 10AM and until then, I am looking for an accomodation option where I can sleep for a while and then freshen up to head to the shop. Any pointers to a hotel which can allow me to check in at this time in the morning? I see many hotels having a check in time of 10-11AM which doesnt help me since I have to book accommodation for two days which doesnt make sense.

Preferable location will be as close to the railway station or in T Nagar, Chennai where the shop is located. Budget isnt a concern upto 2k or so, since I dont want to spend more than that for a few hours stay. A clean bed and shower is all I need. Any help is highly appreciated!

Planning for vacation in Hyderabad next week with wife and son. Never been to Hyderabad earlier. I will be leaving Bangalore early morning on May 5th. Tentative places to visit as below:

1. Ramoji film city
2. Charminar
3. Birla mandir
4. Jaganath temple
5. Salar jung museum
6. Hussein sagar lake
7. IKEA showroom
8. Sudha car museum
9. Golconda fort

Please suggest any other nice places to visit. Any recommendations for shopping?

If 4-5 days are enough to cover all the above, which would be a good hotel to stay? I am availing leave for the entire next week - hence time would not be a constraint.
