Owner is very friendly. they are very supportive. i only booked 3 AC rooms. i don't know Malayalam. because of the communication issue. only 2 AC rooms available. they apologies to me and they provide me four rooms. 2 AC and 2 NON-AC room. we only used 3 rooms. one more thing they have cow farm and hen farm inside. for us it is okay. but those who is not okay with that should avoid.
Stayed shalom residency for one night for exam purpose..Shalom residency is more of a Homestay than a hotel..It is situated near onnunkal panchayat stadium stop(bus stop) or 800 mtr from oonunkal town towards kothamangalam. Nearest city is kothamangalam, ~6km from the residency. Room is clean with attached bathroom,ac available with chair,no shelf and single bed(my room).No room service or wifi available due to this is homestay? Residency matron(homekeeper) chechi is friendly and supportive. Nice hilly rainy high range environment. -Only room accomedation no food available here. For booking , most idealy direct call and booking preferred(dont relays on online app).confirm with chechi first?! Ground floor is for matron and 1st and 2nd floor are usdd for homestay.. Good experience for hilrange ernakuam district🤗.. Transportation : 1)Nearest railway station is Aluwa , from there Direct bus service "adimali" route via perumbavoor ,kothamangalam can reach residency... 2) from aluwa , if u got in kothamangalam bus, then kothamangalm private stand u have to get "neryamangalam" bus route to reach residency.. 3) residency situated in kothamangalm- adimali-munnar route ,hence long distance buses also serving this route. 4)Onnunkal town have 2 or 3 medium restaurents also bakery/general stores+autoriksha stand available. 5)Adviceble to buy 20rs drinking water and biscuits/small snacks before coming to residency 6) Take care urself.
