Review by hotel critic
I recently had the opportunity to stay at Aranya Nivas for two nights while exploring India, and it offered an intriguing balance between luxury and value. Nestled conveniently within the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, the hotel's location captures the essence of nature, allowing quick access to reserve entry. The spacious room featured a comfy bed, free toiletries, and a flat-screen TV, providing a solid base for relaxation after a day of exploration. The outdoor swimming pool was a nice retreat, giving a refreshing break post-adventure, though cleanliness could use some attention. I found the food satisfying, with a buffet offering variety, albeit served lukewarm—something to consider for those who prioritize dining experiences. The dedicated staff were helpful, particularly with tours and ticket assistance, adding further value to the stay. While there are areas for improvement, Aranya Nivas still presents a wise choice for budget-conscious travelers hoping to indulge in the allure of India's wildlife.
