The Leela Ashtamudi is a truly beautiful hotel with a prime position overlooking the backwaters. The staff were excellent. The complementary high tea and house boat cruise really made our stay in Kollam. Our room was of a very high standard but tired in areas, as were some parts of the hotel. Overall excellent but management could really do with investing in maintenance/upgrade to make this a truly world class destination.

Rooms needs to be renovated to the five stars hotel level, specially bathrooms. There were hard water marks everywhere in the bathroom also on a wood floor in the main area of our room. Someone probably spilled something on a hardwood floor previously. Buffet breakfast and dinner is average, food was not hot, waiter had to warm our food in the microwave. I would not consider this hotel as a five stars property.

The above ratings speak for itself. This was a very disappointing stay. Arrived late and my room smelled like the septic system was leaking. I asked the hotel to fix it but unfortunately had to ask every day for my 6 day stay. I didn’t get hot water in my shower and had to repeatedly ask to get this fixed but no luck. The front desk offered to put me and my group in different rooms but ended up smaller rooms with same smell.

Lenin is an excellent photographer who understands when to step in and assist without invading the guests' privacy. It would be beneficial to promote him to a higher, more visible position where he can help with small tasks, such as taking photos and providing useful information to guests, without being tied to his desk at the front entrance.
