Review 79:Nice clean and roomy room. And nice bathroom. And even though the room faced the busy MG Road, the soundproof windows managed to keep out the noise. Breakfast just fine! Morning newspaper outside door.
Review 80:It's good if you plan to be around ernakulam and go to fort kochi for the day else its far away from the main kochi tourist attractions (fort kochi mattanceri etc)
Review 81:The restaurant downstairs is fabulous for lunch/dinner. Rooms are beautiful old Art Deco style very spacious. Bathrooms are new. Good food places close by and the ferry is also walking distance.
Review 82:The lack of internet in he hoel itself, and the fact that the adjoining business centre as mostly closed. On the one occasion I was able to use it the member of staff was very helpful.
Review 83:Staff very helpful Nice spacious room and everything clean.The food in the restaurant was excellent and the service also very good.
Review 84:The restaurant had a very extensive menu but many items wereunavailable. The bar was out of character with the ambience ofthe hotel.
Review 85:The reception staff were very good and helpful and the room was keptvery clean. I liked the slightly old style except for the tragic bararea which is nouveau style and tragically dark with all males andmainly portly mid aged (and waiters).
Review 86:Bathroom amenities and design. After a shower the floor gets all wet 'cos the shower curtain can't stop the splashing water. Hand wash size soap even for bath :(
Review 87:Location. Tasty food. Old World charm.
Review 88:exorbitant charges towards taxi pick up from railway station barely three kms away and inability of travel desk to arrange taxi for local trip forcing me to hunt around in drizzle and slush, and ultimately uto secure help from travel agency direct
Review 89:upkeep of room and hyegeine of toilet
Review 90:Gave me a deluxe room instead of executive at the rate of executive since all executive rooms were occupied.
Review 91:The location and antique like appearance. Excellent authentic kerala cuisine
Review 92:Manager ignored us for 9 days. Foyer furniture uninviting ie no setteesor armchairs to relax in only hard seating. No information leaflets forlocal attractions etc. At dinner we were often ignored and had to waitfor service. Some staff friendly others not.
Review 93:\Comfortable bed and pillows. Room and bathroom spacious. Room alwaysvery clean
Review 94:I found that a couple of the young waiters were uninterested. I wastwice delivered the wrong item. There was no apology and on one occasionno replacement. The young staff on reception were quick to answer"I don't know." while the more experienced members wouldtry to help. This is a matter of correct training. This is a personalthing but the hot food at breakfast was nearly cold, perhaps that is theway in India. The travel desk was seldom manned. A place where localbrochures were displayed would be an asset. These are all minor mattersand did not impair my enjoyment of my visit.
Review 95:I enjoyed my stay. The food was very good, in general the staff wereefficient and friendly with a couple of exceptions. The room was verycomfortable and kept spotlessly clean. Laundry - excellent. Your ratesare very good and I would recommend your hotel to my friends.
