Crystal House in Trivandrum
http://www.hostelworld.com/hosteldetails.php/Crystal-House/Trivandrum/20933?sc_sau=sfab
No reviews, not rated, no availability, no street address and not 6 km to airport if you look at the map. Something is wrong! Nothing on Tripadvisor! Better to select another accommodation!
The travel cost below was estimated for February in 2012.
It is not possible to keep all costs up to date. The source and date are therefore specified in parentheses for each cost.
( Internet YYYY-MM-DD / Guidebook name & publish date / Travel YYYY-MM-DD )
Be aware of the fact that real prices can be almost twice as much as those specified in guide books.
We plan a visit to Mumbai at the same time and therefore fly through Mumbai. It would otherwise be a little cheaper to fly through Chennai which is located on the south east coast of India.

Bus prices are from Lonely Planet guide book, India 12th edition 2007. Expect much higher prices since the book is some years old and the prices are furthermore seldom up to date in guide books.
The taxi from Kochi airport costs 720 INR for the more than 30 km long journey. The journey to Trivandrum is less than half of that distance and the other taxi / tuk tuk journeys are just some kilometres long. A rough estimation of the cost is 500 INR to Trivandrum airport and 200 INR for the other journeys.

Tuk tuk and taxi costs: 2220 INR = 333 SEK
Bus, boat and train costs: 502 INR = 75 SEK

Cost for single traveller: 408 SEK
( 1 INR = 0.15 SEK 2012-02-13 )
