Hotel Saj Lucia

What People are saying

Very close to temple

If you want a decent place to stay for an early morning darshan at the Padmanabhaswami temple, this is a good place to stay. Clean well organised. Liquor is served in the only restaurant you can eat in. Gets awkward for ladies who are by themselves or in a group. The food too is average, but the rooms are well maintained.

Old but GOLD😃

We just stayed overnight night . First we were allotted in third floor. It's old and not hygienic . On our request,front office staff gave us in second floor which was excellent. Temple and shopping is at stone throw distance. Proximity to Bismi for paratha and mutton fry😜.Could not check in the bar . Arranged cab on dot though it was early and raining . No doubt will prefer to stay again in Trivandrum next time. We checked in on 29th afternoon and left at 0545 am on 30th June. 👏👏❤️

Wine and dine @ Saj Lucia - June 2017

My friends and I reached Trivandrum on a sunny day (lot of humidity) and we decided to chill out @ Saj Lucia, we ordered for beers and two types of fish appetizers (curry and fry) it was indeed lip smacking appetizers and the feeling of being welcomed to "God's own country".

Note - Majority of the restaurants don't serve liquor in "National Highway". Also, the restaurants within city have been converted into "Wine and Beer" only. You might find it hard to get "hot drinks" due to stringent rules by government.

A Good property that needs attention

The approach to this hotel is through a crowded road/Street.Not a very attractive approach.But the major attraction is Sri Padmanabha Swamy Temple within a walkable distance.Maha Ganapathi Temple is also nearby.The hotel has simple but spacious Lobby with a seperate Reception desk.This is connected to Proposed swimming pool.Lobby is also connected to Restaurant/Dinning Hall.
The receptionist is very hospitable.Very helpful.service oriented.The checkin process was very smooth.The elevators are in good condition.
The rooms are reasonably good in size with mnimum amenities.Does not give an impression that it has a potential star status.That may take a very long time to come truely to that status.There is a need for strict vigilence/supervision on house keeping service.They are very lethargic and do not pay attention to cleanliness.
I have to personally intervene to report at Reception the areas of both hidden and visible,that require further cleanliness.The quality of bath towels supplied and their cleanliness need closer look fur improvement and also to attract good clientele.
It is too early to expect professional competence from House keeping and others but training and reorientation is must for the staff to perform to the satisfaction.
The dinner in the restaurant was satisfactory.The breakfast was neither Buffet type nor Ala Carte.We were not used for Pre fixed menu.But being a south indian of course,I enjoyed the items served hot/fresh as breakfast . We were given due respect as we are referred by those known to the hotel ownership.This hotel can attract large clientele with initiation of improvement measures.
I have no hesitation to stay here again.
