Hotel Maharani at Kozhikode (Calicut) is certainly from a past generation, but has been maintained reasonably well. The hotel seems to have been built in somewhat laid-back style characteristic of the late 70s. The rooms are large, but many of the fittings including the air-conditioning are afterthoughts. The management seems to have given up trying to catch up with the... More

I travelled to Hotel Maharani last week and I must admit I have lost count! :-) It's become part of my life and many important trips I have made via Calicut, The last being the one to Kollur. Since I have already reviewed it based on all possible parameters, this serves as an update on how things are maintained and... More

Hi, I stayed here with my family for a couple of days. The rooms are big, clean and well furnished. The Hotel staff were extremely courteous and helpful. The best part is the breakfast provided. It was awesome. I would recommend Hotel Maharani for anyone visiting Kozhikode. Great place. Thanks. Pradeep

Calicut is a mandatory stop over every time I drive from Trivandrum to Kollur (Mookambika). I am sure most of you know how tiresome a journey it is from Trivandrum particularly if we start late. Moreover, my darsan at Mookambika comprises darsans at 15 other temples along the length of the state. I have stayed at Asma Tower and once... More

There is an open-air restaurant (which seemed to be full mostly of men) and also an interior A/C restaurant mostly used by families. This was a bit dark and gloomy... More

I was on my first business trip to Kozhikode last week (19th Jan 2012). I heard a lot about the hotel saying that all big Malayalam film stars stay here whenever they come to Kozhikode. But i had a very bad experience. First of all i had to wait for half an hour to check-in. Finally when they were able... More

Local food very nice specially beef. carry own soap if u dont like Ayurvedic soaps.

This is my third trip to Calicut in the last 2 years and Hotel Maharani has always been my family's preferred place to stay. The rooms are spacious, the food is awesome and it is right in the middle of the city. The staff is decent and ever ready to assist. Word of Advice : You should try the traditional... More

We have been traveling in India for 2 months and have found most of our accommodation to be wonderful. Hotel Maharani is, with out doubt, the worst place we have EVER stayed at. The staff, especially Stefan, who sites at the front of house, are rude, unhelpful, confrontational and condescending. Our room was revolting, with what looked like vomit splatters... More
