财产 — Devi Kripa Residency
Devi Kripa Residency is a clean, budget-friendly 3-star in Kollam’s main commercial area. The lobby is compact but functional—tiled floors, wood-panelled reception, a small seating area and a lift. It suits independent travellers and small groups who want a reliable base near the railway station and bus stand, without frills.
Kollam编年史
Kollam (formerly Quilon) was a major spice-trade port from the 9th century, trading with Phoenicians, Romans and Chinese. It became the capital of the Venad kingdom in the 13th century and later a key British trading post. The city’s colonial-era buildings, like the Bishop’s House and the Clock Tower, sit alongside bustling fish markets and backwater canals. Today, Kollam is a laid-back commercial centre and the gateway to Ashtamudi Lake, known for its cashew industry and houseboat tourism.
