3-Star Hotels in Thiruvananthapuram

The capital of Kerala is a city of contrasts, where the scent of jasmine and street food fills the air along MG Road, just a short drive from the quiet, palm-fringed sands of Kovalam Beach. The main draw is its unique blend of deep tradition and administrative energy, centered around the grand Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple and the green, museum-filled grounds of the Napier Museum. You can watch fishermen launch their massive nets from the shore at Sanghumukham Beach in the evening, then explore the contemporary art at the Kanakakunnu Palace the next day.

For a first-time visitor, staying near Kowdiar or Vazhuthacaud puts you close to major sights and government buildings, making it ideal for both business travelers and culture-seekers. The city suits curious solo travelers and families alike, with its manageable scale and rich history. Getting around is straightforward via the efficient city buses, auto-rickshaws, and good taxi services, while Trivandrum International Airport connects you easily to the rest of India and the Gulf.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find about a dozen hotels here, ranging from simple, clean budget hotels near the railway station to a handful of upscale, full-service properties with pools near the airport. The selection is dominated by reliable mid-range business hotels and a few charming heritage-style guesthouses, giving you solid options for a comfortable base.
