First time in India, looking for accommodation in Kerala

Hi I'm heading out to india in 2 weeks, I'm planing to head down to Kerala from Mumbai for about 8 days.
I've no idea where to start looking for accommodation, I'm looking for somewhere thats around 1000r a night!
I want to chill during the day and be around more lively places at night so I can hook up with other travellers!
I'm heading back to goa then and I'm in the same boat as in terms of accom etc.
Any suggestions people, all welcome!

Hello oisin1 and welcome to India Mike!
Since you've started your introduction with a question re accommodation in Kerala, I think it might be a good idea if I moved your post to the Kerala Forum. You could even take a look around that Forum and see if you could pick up some good suggestions for you already there.

Kerala Accom

Hi there & welcome to IM

This link may help re Accom in Kerala, not suggesting you book
through this Link, just good for Gathering Info & comparisons.

http://www.nivalink.com/kerala/homestay.html

If you look through some other threads as Aishah suggests,you
will come across many which suggest Hiring a car & Driver is
often the best way to go when you have limited time.

All the best & Happy Travels.

BTW, I take it you have had a look in the Hotels section at top
of page, there's quite a range of Places(Budget wise)to check
out.

I was in Kerala last month with my family and what I am about to say is what I experienced.

Trivandrum City : Opposite Railway Station. Hotel Arya Niwas. Clean and Decent. Air conditioned Room costed Rs.850/- per day. Only vegetarian food, not included in the room cost.

Cochin City: Opposite Shenoy Theatre (Movie Hall). Sunshine Residency Hotel, Narathakara street. Air conditioned room costed around Rs. 800/- per day. Well maintained. No restaurant attached. Plenty of eateries within 2-3 minutes of walking distance.

Hope this helps Have a great time ahead in Kerala and Goa. I do travel around a lot with my kids and all and let me know if you want my suggestions for Goa as well...

Arun

Kanyakumari

If you have time try to visit Kanyakumari as well.
It's about 90km from Trivandrum.
