"Thrissur's oldest hotel built in 1949. This heritage building is in a tranquil three acre setting next to the railway station."
"It's really close to the railway station ( walkable distance if you take the back entrance, go left and take the over bridge)."
"With an air- conditioned convention centre for 1500 people and car parking for over 250 cars, the hotel is a landmark that blends the old and new."
