Lyth 8/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Nice hotel well located for airport, railway station and metro.

Pros: Good breakfast and the swimming pool was much appreciated. The room was very nice and clean.

Cons: As tourists, we could have done with a bit more information about the area. There was no information pack in our room and we didn't even find out that Cochin has a great metro system for 2 days.

Christiane 10/10
Australia 🇦🇺

Excellent stay highly recommended for a relaxing time after a long flight !

Pros: I liked the beauty of the gardens with bungalows nestled in the tropical surroundings. The rooms were large and confortable and the staff very helpful.

Cons: It was difficult to understand the airport pick up arrangements! We were asked to call a number in India the day before we were leaving Australia. Never understood why!

Martin 9/10

Cons: Mosquitoes! But they're everywhere anyway and a good repellent works.

Mridula 8/10
India 🇮🇳

Great transit stop, central and also quiet. Right on the river!

Pros: We stayed here as a transit stop for our flight out of Kochi. The location is perfect - 15 minutes away from both the train station (Aluva) and the Airport. Food is fresh and excellent, particularly the seafood. Staff are very warm and helpful. Despite being so central, it is a bit tucked away inside a large compound, so it is quiet and peacefull as well. Lovely little swimming pool, and a games room to while away your time.

Cons: Breakfast was basic. Limited options, especially if you want a continental style breakfast, but it is perfectly adequate. Linen and towels look a bit tired, but are very clean.

Pros: Fabulous place to stay before going to the airport, with free transfer included. Large landscaped grounds and excellent pool. Lovely immaculate room.

Cons: A bit out of the way for getting to the city
