Yes i stayed there as well / horrible experienxe . Leaking roofs in upper floor, horrible room service, aged interiors ..
Guys, there’s a hotel called "Kovalam Beach Hotel" near Kovalam Beach in Kerala.
I booked this hotel based on its positive reviews, but after staying there, I honestly started wondering whether some of those reviews were genuine.
Here’s my experience:
1. No swimming pool: The photos suggest there is a swimming pool, but I couldn’t find one during my stay.
2. No restaurant: There is no restaurant available at the hotel.
3. Dark interiors: The hotel has very dark interiors, which they describe as a heritage-inspired theme. Personally, I found the atmosphere quite uncomfortable.
4. Limited parking: There is barely enough parking space for one or two cars.
5. Difficult road access: The road leading to the hotel is very steep, narrow, and difficult to navigate by car.
6. Uncomfortable atmosphere: During our stay, we seemed to be the only guests. The owner also lives at the property, and the place felt almost deserted. Honestly, it gave me an eerie feeling, and I couldn't sleep properly that night.
7. Poor surroundings at night:
After 7 PM, the road becomes extremely dark, with little to no street lighting. It is difficult to see people or navigate the road, and finding milk or food for babies can also be a challenge.
The hotel is close to The Leela Kovalam, but it is situated on a steep, narrow road at a lower level.
My suggestion:
If you're planning a trip to Kovalam, please think twice before booking this hotel. My experience was disappointing, and I wouldn't recommend it based on my stay.
I can't confirm whether the positive reviews are paid or genuine, but my experience was very different from what I expected based on them.

In Ansal Ascencia, residents who speak up are removed from WA groups by RWA. No one can write back and it's a one way street by RWA. Naming shaming starts. It's really ugly to live like this with useless DR office and ineffective @DC_Gurugram
Residents are feeling unsafe in such societies. @gurgaonpolice @DGPHaryana @cmohry
Mediation cells needed.
As reported by residents. RWAs have no business sending bouncers! – at Gurgaon, India

Street vendors don’t need sympathy.
They need clear, uniform rules.
Predictability for vendors + walkable streets for citizens is achievable.
Chaos benefits no one except discretion.

Cities behave very differently after sunset.
Governance audits should too.
Lighting, sanitation, safety, transport — review them at night, not just in daytime meetings.
Policy must match lived reality.

Parking enforcement shouldn’t feel arbitrary.
Clear rules.
Visible signage.
Digital receipts.
Standard towing SOPs.
Predictability is what turns enforcement into governance.

Cities are built for people, not just vehicles.
Fix footpaths before flyovers.
Pedestrian safety, accessibility, and dignity must come before speed infrastructure.
Urban planning should start at street level.

Citizens deserve to know where their money goes.
A ward-wise public dashboard showing budgets, spends, and outcomes would build trust instantly.
Transparency is not anti-government.
Opacity is.

Civic services need deadlines, not follow-ups.
Time-bound SLAs + auto-escalation if deadlines are missed should be the default.
If citizens must follow rules, the system should too.
Accountability begins with timelines.
#GoodGovernance #PublicServices #SystemReform
Cities don’t need more helplines.
They need one system.
One city.
One app.
One ticket number.
Single-window civic complaints would cut excuses, delays, and blame-shifting overnight.
Governance should be simple by design.

@DelhiGovDigital @cmohry
@SwachhBharatGov #SwatchBharat can start from elections.
@PMOIndia @narendramodi , During elections, urban defacement through wall-pasting and glue posters is entirely avoidable.
This is not a governance gap—it is an issue of organisational discipline.
One unambiguous directive—no defacement, only sustainable campaign methods—can align electoral conduct with India’s cleanliness goals. Policy intent must translate into visible on-ground enforcement.
@BJP4India @ECISVEEP @narendramodi
@RaghavChadhaOfc , your campaign on rightsizing 10minutes delivery is superb. May I request you to take up one more equally actionable issue—ending wall-pasting and glue posters during elections.Clean, defacement-free campaigning is aligned with urban governance reform.
have made the same request to the ruling party. @BJP4India
@RahulGandhi , may I request you to issue a similar directive within your party as well—no wall-pasting, no glue posters, no urban defacement during elections.

In India, the “holiday rush” isn’t a tourism problem, it’s a work-culture problem. People don’t take leave when they need it; they take leave when their boss’s boss is also on leave.
Modi dazzles in Kuwait praising diaspora—while Mohali buries dreams & UP dodges 'jungle' barbs. Irony: Global glow-ups, homegrown breakdowns. Priorities? #ModiInKuwait #PoliticalIrony
India doesn’t fail people.
It trains them to survive failure
and calls it resilience.
