"Stayed there with my family of 3 on NY eve last year. The property was well maintained. While we didn’t get to try all the amenities due to the NY eve rush, the complimentary boat ride on the lake Vemnad was amazing (I would highly recommend to book in advance as it fills our fast). Food was ok. I would recommend this place who wants a quiet, family friendly place in Allepey. "

"We had a really poor experience… 1) The bathrooms and washing areas were smelling bad / extremely unclean… the taps were all fully dark and rusty 2) very salty water provided for all washing / bathing. 3) extremely un-friendly staff who were showing absolutely no interest in the welfare of the guests. 4) It was extremely hot during day time, so we asked them to switch on the AC and they said AC will be available only from 9pm. 5) We bought some expensive prawns from the shop they took as to ,...

Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Alappuzha cost?
Budget hotel prices in Alappuzha vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $26 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Alappuzha is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers visiting Alappuzha, the areas around Alleppey Beach and the town centre offer the best options for affordable accommodation. These locations provide easy access to key attractions and transport links, ensuring you get the most value for your money.

Around Alleppey Beach, you'll find a good selection of guesthouses and homestays that are often much cheaper than hotels. Many of these offer a comfortable stay with a local touch, and being close to the beach means you can enjoy the sunset and the sea without any additional travel costs. It's a nice area for leisurely strolls and soaking in the coastal atmosphere.

The town centre, particularly around the main bus stand and railway station, also has numerous budget hotels and lodges. Staying here puts you right in the heart of the local hustle and bustle, with easy access to local eateries, markets, and public transport for exploring further afield.
When is the most affordable time to visit Alappuzha?
The most affordable time to visit Alappuzha, also known as Alleppey, is generally during the monsoon season, from June to September, or the shoulder seasons just before and after the peak tourist period. While the peak season from October to March offers pleasant weather, it comes with higher prices for accommodation and activities.

During the monsoon, the heavy rains deter many tourists, leading to reduced prices for houseboat rentals and guesthouses. For solo travellers who don't mind the rain, this can be a wonderfully tranquil time to experience the backwaters, with lush green landscapes and fewer crowds. Many local eateries also offer better value during this period.

The shoulder months of April, May, and September also present good value. While it can be hotter and more humid than the peak season, prices begin to drop, and you'll still find plenty of sunshine interspersed with occasional showers. This period allows couples to enjoy the serene backwaters and beaches without the peak season crowds or prices, making it easier to secure a more intimate and budget-friendly houseboat experience.
Is Alappuzha a budget-friendly destination?
Yes, Alappuzha, often called Alleppey, is generally a budget-friendly destination, especially when compared to many international tourist hubs. Its charm lies in its natural beauty and unique cultural experiences, which can be enjoyed without overspending.

For solo travellers and couples, accommodation can be quite affordable. Instead of opting for luxury houseboats, consider staying in guesthouses or homestays along the backwaters, which offer a more authentic experience at a fraction of the cost. These often include breakfast and provide insights into local life. Neighbourhoods slightly away from the main boat jetties, but still well-connected, can offer even better value.

The most iconic experience, a backwater cruise, can be made budget-friendly by choosing a public ferry or a smaller, shared canoe ride instead of a private houseboat. These options allow you to soak in the serene landscapes, observe local life, and spot various birds without a hefty price tag. Exploring the town on foot or by renting a bicycle is also a great way to discover its hidden gems and is completely free.

Another wonderful free activity involves exploring the town's charming backstreets and canals on foot. You can discover the unique architecture, observe daily routines of the locals, and soak in the tranquil atmosphere that gives Alappuzha its nickname, "Venice of the East."

Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Alappuzha as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately.
