Top Santa Cruz Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Grand Hyatt Kochi Bolgatty

10/10 Excellent

"The room was a great size for 6 nights. Bed very comfortable & so many amenities have been thought of. The bar on the roof was nice and staff very friendly. The Malabar cafe for breakfast and dinner was very good and served some lovely dishes. Some waiting staff seem uncomfortable around English speaking guests for some reason many misunderstandings occur. The standout staff member is Shabi (M) who was not only friendly but someone who got everything right and who should be commended for his customer service. Thanks for a great stay."

Tissa's Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was fabulous, the staff were friendly and could not do enough for us. Senita in particular was a charming hostess. Breakfast was served to our table and not buffet style. anything you wanted cooked to order."

"Taj Kochi is a beautiful premium property where I reviewed a traditional welcome, supported by friendly staff and with room that had an amazing view of lake and Arabian Sea. It’s a perfect getaway to beautiful island away from the city."

Forte Kochi

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful heritage building type of Hotel. Located in an almost European street with lots of attractions nearby. Extremely well kept. Hospitality was excellent, as expected. Wide variety of food. Service was done leisurely. Bonds well if you are on a leisure holiday but not if you are in a hurry to eat. As we could make out, food was quite fresh. Pleasant staff. Helpful attitude. On checking in we realised that it’s part of the same group which owns Kumarakom Lake Resort which was our next destination. Overall a pleasant experience."
