The Windsor Castle

2/10 Terrible
"Very out dateded, ac unit froze up started leaking all over our stuff and then it started throwing ice chunks. We went to the front desk and they offered to switch rooms. We switched rooms and everything was fine other than the bed being rock hard and the bed sheets with a ton of stains. We ended up checking out early and they would not refund us the other night stay. This property is also not kid friendly nothing for kids to do. No up keep to this property very ran down. "

  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To explore last-minute deals to Kottayam, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, increasing your chances of securing savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you find the best options. This way, if rooms become available or prices drop, you could be among the first to know, making it easier to book a getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Being flexible with your travel dates could help you find better rates for your stay in a Kottayam hotel. If you're after a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer greater value.
