8/10 Good
"We stayed here for 2 nights and really enjoyed our stay while having a great darshan of Lord Guruvayoorapan. The staff at the hotel were kind and helped with our requests immediately. The buffet breakfast was an exhaustive one with lot of variety and tasty dishes. Our family and kids loved it! The reason for 4 stars is we dined at the Kesar restaurant and on the last day of our visit, the dishes were too oily and it didn’t go well with our son who had a disturbing stomach upset on our way back home. Otherwise, we loved the stay."

"We stayed at Gokulam Park hotel for one day during our visit to Guruvayur. The unit is new and its 500m away from the temple. They provided free shuttle service to drop us at the temple and also provided the pick up (from Gokulam Vanamala, there older hotel which is just next to the temple.). The room was very neat, and the bed linen, pillows were feeling fresh and new. The towels provided were also feeling fresh. Their vegetarian restaurant provided really nice breakfast and lunch. They also have a non vegetarian restaurant. The staff were also very cordial and helpful. We will rate the hotel overall for 5."
