Staff and service were always, and continue to be, excellent. The recent renovation of the hotel as part of its up-gradation to Vivanta is very well done.

Vivanta Ernakulam was outdated, the bathroom smelled like urine, there were cracks in the floor, the shower was broken and it was far from a luxury hotel. Every part of the hotel except the lobby required renovation. The breakfast buffet had old, dry stale food and everything was cold. There were also limited options. The surrounding area smelled like sewage so I do not suggest walking by the water. The staff was less than enthusiastic to help and honestly seemed snobby. I would never stay again and cannot believe we paid as much as we did for a hotel like this.

This is a good hotel if you wish to be in the central area of Kochi. The ferry to fort kochi is close at hand and you are smack on marine drive in ernakulam. The hotel gave me a room on the top floor with a harbor view as booked (so I do not think I received a complimentary upgrade). But the room was fine and had a lovely view and was in the section that has been newly renovated. But the swimming pool area had massive construction work that was noisy and made the use of the pool unpleasant. The hotel should have warned me when I booked the room but did not do so. And you cannot open the room windows which means no fresh air. That apart a good hotel, evidently transitioning to Vivanta. Ask for a room on the top two floors.

This place was absolutely disgusting and to think how much we paid for a room. The bathroom smelled like urine, was old, not renovated and the shower was broken. The entire hotel except the lobby needed updates. The breakfast buffet had stale food and limited options. The staff was less than helpful and/or enthusiastic. I would never stay again.
