Great hotel. Excellent location, especially if you have a flight to catch. Hotel offers a complimentary shuttle to the airport, just 10 minutes away. Complimentary breakfast is great. Big spread, Indian and continental. Try the baked goods.
The room is very clean and comfortable , we especially enjoyed the bathroom set up and electronic controls for the shades/curtains. The pool lounge chairs were very comfortable since it had the posturepedic cushions to lay on.

Top Tips
- Reserve your hotel 4 to 8 weeks in advance for peak travel months (December to February) or regional festivals like Onam (August to September) to secure standard rooms before rates rise by about 15-20%, especially in high-demand areas such as Fort Kochi, where supply is limited. Check live room availability on hotel websites or major OTAs, and consider loyalty member discounts offered by many top chains for early bookings.
- Hotel stays in India are subject to Goods and Services Tax (GST), which can add 12-18% to your room bill. Rooms under ₹1,000 generally incur no GST, mid-range rooms are taxed at 12%, and higher tiers at 18%; verify if your booking platform's final price includes GST at checkout, as some chain hotels may display tax-inclusive rates.
- Fixed-fare pre-paid taxi counters and app-based rides like Ola or Uber from Cochin International Airport (COK) to central Ernakulam provide predictable fares and avoid negotiation. The commute covers about 30-40 km and typically takes 40-75 minutes, depending on traffic. For accessible vehicles, specify your needs when booking via the app or counter.
- Hotels on Ernakulam’s mainland (M.G. Road or Marine Drive) are closer to transit points including Ernakulam Junction, Ernakulam Town stations, and key ferry jetties, generally within 5-15 minutes by taxi. Staying here reduces transfer times to most city attractions compared to Fort Kochi, which may require 20-45 minute trips, and most midrange and international hotel brands are found in these neighborhoods.
- Kerala State Water Transport ferries link Ernakulam to Fort Kochi and Vypin every 20-40 minutes, with journeys taking about 30-40 minutes and fares far lower than taxis. Ferry schedules may be reduced after 8:00 PM and may change during holidays; confirm timings in advance, and note that some routes offer ramp or step-free access.
- Complimentary bottled water varies by hotel, with many properties providing 1-2 small bottles daily but charging for minibar or extra bottles. Ask at the front desk about free refills or buy larger 1.5 L bottles at supermarkets for ₹40-₹80 (approx. $0.50–$1 USD). Premium and international hotels may offer filtered water stations or refillable bottle programs.
- Many hotel invoices include a discretionary service charge of 5-10% that often covers staff gratuities. Check your bill before tipping extra in cash to avoid duplication, especially for housekeeping and porter services; top hotel chains may display their tipping policy at reception.
- Kochi Metro trains run along the Aluva–M.G. Road corridor every 5-15 minutes during daytime hours, often faster than road travel on these routes. Many Metro stations are centrally located near mainstream hotels and provide step-free access and tactile paving.
- During the southwest monsoon (mid-June to September), hotel rates may drop by 10-20% and cancellation policies are often more flexible. While heavy rain limits outdoor activities, many hotels run spa and wellness offers during this period; verify refund or rescheduling terms before booking.
