"We stayed at Gokulam Park hotel for one day during our visit to Guruvayur. The unit is new and its 500m away from the temple. They provided free shuttle service to drop us at the temple and also provided the pick up (from Gokulam Vanamala, there older hotel which is just next to the temple.). The room was very neat, and the bed linen, pillows were feeling fresh and new. The towels provided were also feeling fresh. Their vegetarian restaurant provided really nice breakfast and lunch. They also have a non vegetarian restaurant. The staff were also very cordial and helpful. We will rate the hotel overall for 5."
