“An Oasis of Calm in busy Cochin, India”
The Taj Malabar deserves it's 5 star rating - I had stayed there in March 2008. Sadly the view out of the back rooms is now dominated by a huge Container Port - whilst the hotel is still brilliant - I think the changed view shoud have been mentioned on the hotel web site. General comment: Wereturned to visit in November 2011- Cochin was busier than ever and pollution had increased.
“OK for short visit”
From what i saw there aren't any great hotel locations in Kochi . The Taj is probably as good as you can find but there are no other hotels or restaurants nearby so expect to travel or use the hotel facilities. Of all the facilities used the spa was outstanding not cheap but very good The garden and pool area is inhabited by crows that will literally take the food from your plate and although service within the hotel building is good its very difficult to even order a drink outside
“Impressed very much.”
Great hotel, everyone spoke english. Excellent view, great food. The only small thing I didn't like was that there is notthig at walking distance. Pal and Sara
“BEST HOTEL IN COCHIN!”
Great location! Right in the corner of an island, The Taj Malabar has one of the best views in Kerala! The Spa is fantastic with a wide range of ayurvedic massages. For those who wants a busy neighborhood, I do not recomend..
“Vivanta by Taj - Malabar, Cochin”
not beautiful room! old hotel too much noise in the morning with boats in the yards around the hotel! small pool Spa not very clean restaurant servers not polite slow service away from hotel I asked a car at the airport, and someone picked me!
“Crunkin in Cochin”
Very helpful staff in all departments from room service to travel advisors. Amazing facilities and rooms. Avoid the astronomically over priced laundry service though - best cleaning your gruds in the bath the hanging them of the ceiling fans! Great Buffet, but the fish restaurant was distinctly average for a 5- star hotel. Cocktails proved to be better value for money than shorts. Disappointed I didn't get chance to use the spa and gym facilities as these looked excellent.
“Great Facility”
Excellent facilty for a quiet stay. A bit from the city but that may not be a bad thing at the end of the day. Rooms are clean and adequate. Good excercise facility and swimming pool. Food in restaurants are expensive and ordinary and you are better off going into town for dinner.
“Indias special hotel in Kerala”
The staff in the hotel was exceptional, anything you needed they were able to accomodate us with. I would highly recommend this hotel.
“Memories of days gone by!”
An excellent hotel in a prime location over looking the water/harbour. Check in was simple, and we got a fantastic corner room on the 4th floor overlooking the harbour. Service is generally good, but after travelling in india for a few weeks, not 5star. The staff means well, but further training is required. The Rice boat restaurant although quaint and nicely appointed, is terribly expensive for what you get. The free afternoon tea is a nice touch, and so is the free sunset boat cruise which is daily. Pool is wonderful and the spa is also worth checking out.
“Very classy place”
Taj means luxury when it comes to hotels. I was overall very pleased with my stay here. Upon check in I couldn't get the dvd player to work and they sent up a technician as soon as I called. My room looked out onto the water and it was great. Architecture in the hotel was very nicely done. Spa and pool were both staffed with helpful folks. The restaurants were all delicious. I especially recommend the Rice Boat, the service, the food and the atmosphere were all great.
