3-star hotels in Kanniyakumari
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Kanniyakumari, at the southernmost tip of mainland India. These are for travellers who want a comfortable base close to the temple, the beach and the ferry point without going up a class, and who care about guest ratings and what each hotel actually offers.
Staying in Kanniyakumari
Kanniyakumari is the southernmost tip of mainland India, where three seas meet. Visitors come for the Vivekananda Rock Memorial, reached by a short ferry ride, the Kumari Amman Temple and the Gandhi Mandapam, and for sunrise and sunset from the viewing points. The town is compact and many attractions are within walking distance of each other. The beach near the temple is popular for evening strolls, though swimming is not advisable because of strong currents. Hotel Aljemin is on Cape Road, right at the centre, and Hotel Temple Citi is on West Car Street; Hotel Sea View is on East Car Street and Hotel Samudra on Sannathi Street, all in the temple and beach area. Hotel Skyark is opposite Vivekananda Kendra in Vivekanandapuram, near the ferry point, and Hotel Viswa Grand is off Sunset Point Road. Rr Inn Group Of Hotels and VLS Holiday Home lie a little further out. The mix suits couples and families on a short break as well as business travellers who want to be in the middle of town.
