The temple is located just about a kilometre away from the Thiruvananthapuram Central railway station. Booking an accommodation from OYO Rooms near this location gives you the advantage of not having to travel along with your luggage when you get off your train and also puts you in the right place to catch the early morning darshan at this temple easily. Note that the temple usually opens at 3.30 am in the morning and closes by noon, to open again in the evening.
