A very nice hotel with a pool. There didn’t seem to be a restaurant but that didn’t matter because there’s loads of restaurants in the immediate area down the lanes. Most people there had fairly good English. It is very hot but there was air con and a fan so I slept well.

The room was not ready when we arrived. It was not clean and the bulbs were flickering. The fridge was not working. There was no sufficient plug points. Bathroom was clean but there was no hot water. Room was big enough and AC was good. Staff were nice and helpful and food was good. There was no lift and had to climb up and down which was not comfortable in a hot weather. Balcony was not clean enough, but the sea view as amazing. Overall not worth the money we spent.

Clean and affordable place to stay that is well located for exploring Varkala. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Beds were very hard though - just a thin mattress on a plank of wood, also breakfast service was very basic - but there are many great affordable places nearby- so not a major issue- overall a great stay !

Nice hotel but not 4 star
We stayed for 2 nights in March, the hotel is ok but doesn’t quite live up to its description, there was no restaurant or terrace. It is in a good location, only 100m from Varkala cliff with numerous restaurants etc. The staff were very helpful, they just need to update their listing.

Close to the beach and restaurants
Sanctum Spring is in a great location on top of the cliff on the helipad, and is a short walk to Varkala Beach and the main street of restaurants and cafes and shops on the cliff side. However the room itself is in need of an upgrade - the mattresses were very hard, the bathroom had cracked tiles on the wall, and generally looked very dated. The bathroom is more like a traditional wet room as well and after a shower the whole bathroom will be wet for a while making it inconvenient if you are sharing a room with anyone else. Also had a bad experience with the manager who didn’t check my boooing details properly but was quickly sorted and never saw him or dealt with him again. Luckily the other staff member on reception was friendly and accommodating.

Memorable stay - go for location not luxury
Overall: highly recommended. Good: location! - across the beach, close to great restaurants and amazing views. Friendly staff. Quiet and family friendly. Bad: included breakfast was average, basic amenities like hot water and front desk were very erratic. Spare bed provided was rusty and broken.

Great location with sea views
The hotel did not have WiFi in the room for the majority of our stay. We were able to get a connection at the reception however. The fridge did not work and looked very old. Housekeeping was not a daily occurrence but was good when it happened. Breakfast was basis but good quality. The location is good - a minute walk from the restaurants and shops. There are tuk tuks and taxis close by also. The hotel staff seemed nice. One of the staff kindly assisted by checking bus times to Alleppey for us. Unfortunately the information given was incorrect. Luckily we had a knowledgeable tuk tuk driver who dropped us at another bus route and flagged down the bus for us.
