Lake & Paddy Resort Reviews

Lake & Paddy Resort is definitely your best bet if you arrive in Alleppey with the plan to explore the backwaters. It is a place that was designed in great style, and once you step inside you are guaranteed to feel the the relaxing vibe the place offers. The dorms are located in beautiful huts of upbeat colours and the surrounding open air spaces are perfect for your evening downtime. However, the owner of the hostel has three properties and he reserves the right to place you in one of his other hostels if what you booked is full.

The Location

While most of the city's hostels are located near the beach, this one is on the opposite end of Alleppey, near the ferry terminal from where all the ferry trips as well as the kenu and house boat excursions depart. However, this also means that getting here from the train station -- which is near the beach -- is a bit of a hassle. In the close vicinity of the hostel, there is not much -- for restaurants and shops, you will have to walk towards the centre for about fifteen minutes. The hostel does offer food but it is quite expensive.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The hostel consists of a number of huts scattered around its territory. Each hut has two parts with two separate rooms housed by each half. The dorms accommodate up to three people and there are separate female and mixed rooms. The rooms come with a fan and mosquito nets above each bed; these are much needed because around sunset, mosquitos are everywhere. The dorms are cosy and comfortable with plenty of space for your staff, and one of the beds even has a cupboard above it. The rooms are en suite with a rather spacious bathroom located at the back of every hut. However, hot water is not available in them. Also, Wi-Fi is only available around half of the time.

Common Spaces

The common areas are marvelous! Everything is arranged around a spacious courtyard with lush plants and palm trees. Half of this area is left to be formed by nature, but there are many cool things to relax on as well --hammocks, hanging seats made of nets as well as tires, and regular swings. The other area is taken up by a huge outdoor bar and restaurant where you are welcome to sit even if you do not purchase anything, or you can sit here and eat your own food.

Summary

While the owners are rather strange at this place, taking the liberty to place you at a different property if what you booked is full and arguing over a one-rupee change, once you are successfully checked in, you will enter a haven of peace. The rooms are extremely comfortable (the dorms only have three beds inside) and the beautiful common areas are just the cherry on the top.
