The only service that is delayed in Bestotel is billing, so goes a popular saying among those who love the hotel-cumbakery. Neither the customers want to leave the hotel after food nor does the management wants to see them off in a hurry by presenting the bill.
For over 67 years, Bestotel, at the heart of Kottayam town, has been a witness to history. It was the place for film stars and famous writers. Legendary songwriters and novelists penned their masterpieces in its rooms and political leaders hobnobbed together in its lobbies.
Sadly, the pandemic has claimed this landmark hotel too. The shutters of the historic hotel will be downed permanently on August 31.
