The Government Guest House, Kollam was built by the Divan of the
former state of Travancore. 3 kilometers away from the Kollam bus stop, this 48 acre land
by the banks of Ashtamudi Lake is blessed with exquisite trees and lush foliage.
Ashramam, picnic village is built on the land of the Government Guest House. Tourism
development activities of the district are carried out in this village.
This 200 year old Government Guest House in Kollam was once a place of power as the
British residents resided here. What remains of this historic building is the majestic
building and colonial British architecture. The symmetry and the artistry of the building
still remain untainted.
The rooms are unimaginably spacious with the ceilings reaching up to 15 feet. The motifs
used on the ceiling and the fans are preserved as they were when the building was
constructed.
