Sbi lunch at bubble cafe from reservation to fond farewell. Each and every staff played a significant job. Rahul what a team leader he is.. Thank you for your coordination may be next month also we are planning to come. Once again Rahul and team good job see you next time
Great location, beautiful surrounding and peaceful atmosphere, Most friendly and helpful receptionist and staff. Everything about the hotel was exceptional. The room was spacious, clean, and had a remarkably comfortable bed. Food was good and service was attentive and efficient. Special mention to Rahul Ramakrishnan, Eldho and Niveditha. We would love to come back here….
We had a very good stay experience at The Vivanta - Ernakulam. We had by mistake booked the wrong Vivanta and were travelling with kids. The staff and the director of operations - Rashmi Menon were very helpful to make our transfers internally. It saved us a lot of hassle and we were glad that they went out of their way to help us.
Two-night stay in Vivanta. Welcoming staff at reception. Rooms are clean, but mosquitoes were present at night. The food was very good—poor internet connectivity. The internet connectivity is not secure. We were willing to pay extra for secure internet connectivity. We took a train from Kochi to Thiruvananthapuram. We took a hotel car to the Ernakulam Town Station. The driver did not offer to assist us with our luggage to get into the station.
As it was our special occasion the hotel made us feel very special right from the check-in process. Service level from almost each and every staff was typical of Taj standard - service with a big smile. Would like to especially call out Mr Sujith at the restaurant for going above and beyond in organising an ala carte dish (even though the restaurant was offering buffet dinner) that we did not want to miss during our first Kerala visit. However, we were a bit disappointed with the generic upkeep of the hotel. We were upgraded to an executive suite. The window glass offering view of the Kochi harbour was so dirty that we could not take a photo of the harbour. However, overall we were happy with our stay.
It was excellent ambience and view of Arabian Sea. Also easy to walk in native drive and take water metro. Breakfast buffet was excellent with so much of variety local and Non local cuisine. My kids loved them. Also swimming pool facilities were excellent net and clean and open with hot sun.
Excellent place to stay in kochi. Lovely water views, convenient location and great staff. Very much enjoyed our stay.
I had a wonderful stay at Taj Ernakulam from 22nd to 25th March. The overall experience was truly exceptional, marked by warm hospitality and impeccable service. I would especially like to highlight Nitin from the front office team, whose professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine warmth stood out throughout my stay. His proactive approach, willingness to go the extra mile, and ability to handle every request with ease made a significant difference to my overall experience. It is rare to come across such dedication and guest-centric service, and Nitin truly exemplifies the highest standards of hospitality. I would also like to appreciate Kartika and Lekshmi at the front office for their courteous and efficient assistance, always ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience. A special mention to Afzal from the housekeeping team, whose attention to detail and consistent upkeep ensured that everything remained immaculate throughout my stay. Thank you to the entire team for making my visit memorable. I look forward to staying again.
We had a wonderful stay at vivanta marine drive. Mr Nikhil was very helpful during our checkin process and was also generous enough to upgrade 2 of our 3 rooms. Everything was perfect, right from the check in to check out. Will definitely prefer to stay here again when i am back to Kochi.
Excellent customer service, well trained staff
Mufeed from the restaurant went beyond his call of duty and helped answer all our questions not related to the hotel, where all the reception staff where nice, friendly and polite, 1 exception stood out, Fatima always smiled and was always welcoming/courteous, this really made me feel extra welcome. I will deem this hotel as my first choice if re-visiting Cochin. 2 negative experiences: I ordered omelette and I got a cross between omelette and scrambled eggs (runny), I did not order omelette again during my stay, for a Taj chain, the sunbed mats are broken/ripped, I do not expect Tag Vivanta to use these worn out sunbed mats, they are not expensive for replace and the experience from guests maybe "for such a brand name/wonderful Hotel why are they not spending a small amount of money on the matts".
Love the location and the hospitality. Check-in experience was okayish, in-room dining was par (messes up the order couple of times) and breakfast buffet was pretty decent. Bathroom experience was below par as the WC didn’t look clean when arrived and towels smelled harsh chemicals. I’m not sure if there was a chemical residue which might be harmful to the skin.
Stayed at the Vivanta Taj Ernakulam for a day with spouse. The property is next to Marine Drive with a great view and walking pathway. The check in and check out was smooth. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful. We food was excellent with a lot of options to choose from. Overall a great stay.
Had a really nice time staying at Vivanta Ernakulam, Lakshmi and others were really polite and helpful.
Great hotel great location clean rooms and great service from all staff
It’s the people like Mr. Nikhil Shetty truly makes Taj very special. It was just one interaction with Mr. Nikhil Shetty Duty Manager on 05th March 2026 for a doubted request of assistance and trust me with no sense of rejection, he delivered what I wanted. Thank you so much for your best support and Service Mr. Nikhil Shetty. The reservation was for our Top level Management and with ease his stay was taken care of when he stayed at Vivanta Ernakulam, Marine Drive.
Highly recommended 5 star hotel in Marine drive Ernakulum . We.had a fabulous stay
A home away from home. No matter how many new hotels and restaurants have come up in Kochi, we always find ourselves returning to Taj for its exemplary food and exceptional service. My husband and I are frequent visitors at Swirl Lounge Bar - Taj Vivanta — a relaxing lounge with scrumptious food and an extensive selection of beverages. A special mention to the wonderful team — Saju, George, and Sujith — who make every visit memorable. Their warmth and hospitality truly make us feel like family. We highly recommend Swirl, Taj Vivanta to anyone who wishes to have an unforgettable dine out in Kochi.
As a repeat guest, Swirl Bar at Taj continues to impress us every single time. The ambience is classy yet relaxed, the food is consistently excellent, and the overall experience never feels repetitive for me and my family. A special thanks to Saju, George, and Sujith for their outstanding hospitality and attentive service — they truly make every visit memorable. Looking forward to many more evenings here!
I am so glad I booked Hotel Vivanta. I was traveling solo as a woman for a work trip, and I not only felt so safe due to the significant security and attentive staff, the staff was so kind that after day four, it felt like a little home away from home. Everyone went very far out of their way to help me with various things, and the location made all my travel both personally and professionally very easy. They are between two options for water transport to Fort Kochi, and I used their private boat jetty for my backwaters cruise. That was very nice. The staff even waited with me for the boat to ensure that everything went smoothly. They did the same thing when they ordered a car for me, so that the details weren't an issue with the language barrier. The room was beautiful, the meals outstanding, and the overall service top notch. I'm staying there again at the end of my work trip and am excited to return. Oh, and for those who need it, the wi-fi is strong. I was uploading footage for a documentary every night, so the wi-fi strength made things much faster. And the laundry service was perfect. The one unique thing about my stay is that my next-door neighbor had an emergency in the middle of the night that I helped with, so I also got to see the staff responding to a medical emergency and they did very well. If I had to give any balance to this, I would say the water in the shower was always a little chilly. One day it was hot, but the other days it was a little on the cold side. And the promenade next to the hotel is a lovely to walk on. I pictured it with a more high-end story vibe based on the way it was described and it's not that. It's nice and very well used and I enjoyed it. It just was a little different from what I expected. Highly recommend Hotel Vivanta.
Very nice stay..staff really very co operative..good food comfortable stay.. specially laxmi,eldoh were very nice..
Excellent customer care and food For Vivanta category of hotels they go above and beyond their duties to help Excellent location next to Marina The only reason I did not give a score of 10 is I found the bar a bit deficient in term of availability of liquors. The drinks on menu were not available or not on offer
Our stay at Taj Vivanta Marine Drive was nothing short of refreshing. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was warm and seamless, but the true highlight was our room. Waking up to a stunning view of the Kochi harbour provided a sense of calm that stayed with us throughout the day.
Excellent service... Staff well mannered. Service was fast.
Very good hotel. Rooms, staff, service- all excellent.. special shoutout to Lekshmi Excellent location The food was great Reasonably priced laundry rates
Feel homely at Taj . Not to mention their service which is unique . Food excellent. Special mention of the food service rendered by Eldo who took special care with his smiling face ready and waiting to render his excellent homely service. Whenever I reach Taj Ernakulam , I first enquire about Eldo. Even after we leave the hotel he calls and enquires about our family
I had gone with my family on a special occasion. I must say the staff were very polite, helpful well organised. Also the food was delicious. Thanking Rahul and every other staff who made our day special
Best of the best. Great location. Amazing staff. And the best hotel breakfast ever. Beautiful vibes. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
I have been going to the bar at Taj vivanta for the past 10 years. There is no other place at ernakulam which serves alcohol in such a homely atmosphere. Awesome ambience, the service and hospitality that they show and provide is truly commendable. Special mentions to George, Saju and Aadhi for their hospitality. Truly wonderful an experience at Taj Vivanta Bar.
Vivanta Kochi is a peaceful oasis in the midst of a busy city
Very very happy with overall experience at Vivanta Marine Drive Kochi. A special mention and a big thank you to Nithin Nair who went out of the way to ensure my stay went well . It’s so hard to find passionate hoteliers like Nithin in today’s time. Truly made my stay worth it. Will visit again
This place has always been special to me, not just for what it offers, but for how it makes you feel. The beauty and ambience alone set it apart. Sitting inside during the evening and watching the sunset over the lake through the glass walls is truly a stress buster that provides a calm, peaceful, and blissful experience. It’s one of those rare experiences that makes you slow down and just enjoy the moment. I’ve had a long standing relationship with this place for nearly 15 years, and over time the staff has become more like extended family. Their service is thoughtful and genuinely caring. They understand your needs even before you say a word, which speaks volumes about their attentiveness and experience. A special mention to their Head, Mr. George, whose approach to customers is exceptional. He is personally involved and ensures every guest is well taken care of and is a true captain of the team. The dedication of Mr. Saju deserves appreciation as well. Last but not the least, Staff like Ananthu, who serves us with a warm smile is the warmth the entire experience. They are excellent at what they do and consistently make every visit comfortable and memorable. This is a place where ambience, service, and human connection come together beautifully. A place I’ll always keep coming back to.
Vivanta Ernakulam is a beautiful hotel set in natural surroundings right near the sea. The sea view from the room is absolutely stunning, especially in the evening. The staff are highly professional and experienced. Compared to other hotels, everything here is much faster—whether it’s room service, check-in, or check-out. The laundry attendant, Raj, even reminded me about the collection timings when I had completely forgotten to ask. The food is delicious with an excellent variety of options. Overall, I strongly recommend this hotel. It’s a perfect place to enjoy Kerala’s natural beauty along with lovely city views.
Excellent location on Marine Drive Very pleasant atmosphere and ambience Warm hospitality of Agnal Mathew and Ancila Value for time and price
I’ve been coming to taj for the longest there is Service is great feels like home especially by SAJU he is of great help 😊😊😊
Service was great at breakfast. Eldho looked after nicely and every custom order from the kitchen came with perfection and on time. Great breakfast as well. We got to upgrade to suite and it was a large spacious for us 3 people with nice sea view. Highly this on marine drive
The hotel location is picturesque and central The atmosphere is sophisticated and yet friendly. The rooms are clean, spacious and have anything a guest can need for a stay and more. The biggest asset of the hotel howler has to be their staff. From the staff on the reception desk, Karthika, Leksmi, Ancila that were answering any of my silly questions with their local knowledge and a smile, to Agnal that used his UPI to pay for a service I needed, were amazing. The staff in the restaurant like Eldho made each meal special. The housekeeping manager, Krishna went above his role when we had a medical emergency. Great location, great people.
Very nice experience , Very much enjoyable nice ambience and very friendly nature as it is near shore
We had booked executive sea view room got upgraded to suite. Sea view and overall suite was awesome. Sunday brunch and breakfast were great. Service was great too.
Centrally located. Nearer to shopping areas and marine drive. Check in was quick. Front desk staff received us with smiling faces. Pretty decent size room with comfortable bed and necessary amenities in the bathroom.
I have been staying at this property since 2015, and throughout the years I have consistently experienced excellent service across all departments, including the Front Desk, Restaurant, and others. I would especially like to commend the restaurant team for their exceptional service and friendly attitude. A few individuals I would like to mention are Shaiju at the Front Desk, who has always gone above and beyond to assist me on various occasions; From restuarant , Shaju, for his genuinely friendly nature and high-quality service; and Eldhose, who is very caring and charming. I would also like to appreciate the ladies at the kitchen counter, along with many other team members whom I will mention in my next feedback. Overall, the entire team, including the Front Office senior managershas been outstanding. I am extremely happy with my stay over the past decade and look forward to many more pleasant experiences in the future.
An overall all-round great hotel in a terrific location with friendly, courteous staff. Loved the dining experience with live music during dinner. This would be my choice if I revisit Kochi and will certainly recommend it to friends and family.
Great location. Great Staff. Food was good. Room is very dated. Strong odor/perfume in the hallway. Tons of mosquitos. Had an event in the Ball Room. It felt old and ancient. Some areas felt like the 1980s. I hope they update the room and facilities. Tons of options in the area.
Had a great stay with family. The view from the room was excellent. The food was awesome!! The staffs were courteous . Would definitely recommend.
Nice hospitality and nice hotel too, special mention to Mr. Agnel.Rooms had a wonderful view towards the back waters really made the stay worth
I had a wonderful stay at Vivanta Ernakulam. The staff were incredibly attentive and made me feel welcome throughout my visit. The room was spacious, spotless, and very well maintained, which made for a comfortable stay. The food at both the restaurant and the bar was absolutely delicious, with a great variety and quality. Highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and enjoyable experience!
Ultimately, it’s the location and the people who host you. Taj vivanta hotel has the best of both. To top it, they have excellent food, prompt service, and an earthy ambience. A big thank you Binil for the great hospitality
Our trip with friends was amazing from start to finish. The place we stayed at had a beautiful view — you could see the hills and greenery right from our balcony. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with cozy beds and all the essentials we needed. The entire property felt peaceful and tidy, perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring. The staff were friendly and always ready to help. We spent evenings chatting by the view, enjoying the calm surroundings. Overall, great vibes, clean rooms, lovely scenery, and perfect memories with my friends — totally worth it!
Our stay at Vivanta was truly delightful and peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed the serene backwater view and the relaxing pool area. The restaurant had a charming and aesthetic ambiance, and the buffet spread was simply lovely. Special appreciation to Praveen and Nivedithaa for their excellent service, and to Agnal and the reception team for their warm hospitality. Thank you, Vivanta team, for making our stay so memorable!

Business stay at Vivanta.Superb stay at Vivanta where the Hotel staff were very friendly and attentive. Room was excellently provisioned, and facilities impeccable.Mr Nikhil specially looked after us and assured the best service. We look forward to our next stay!
This was my fourth stay at this property. I still keep coming back, primarily for the location and the views from the room. I did not notice any visible change in the entrance lobby or floor areas after your extended renovation, but the absence of the sounds of hammer and drill during the day was nice. Your restaurant staffer Eldho's warm enduring smile and attention is always noteworthy. Same goes for some of the others at the hotel too.
Great hospitality. Very accommodating and pleasing staff specially Karthika & Nikhil from front desk .Had a very pleasant stay Breakfast had a really good spread and delicious .Highly recommended for family and business trip both.
Our overall experience was excellent from the food and service to the comfortable rooms. The reception team was warm and welcoming. A special thanks to Nikhil, Karthika, and Ancila for their exceptional hospitality and kindness

It was nice to stay at Vivanta Ernakulam ( Cochin). Old property but renovated fully now, so expect some limitations. Rooms are neat and clean. Checkin was good and they gave an upgrade which had a good view. Food was tasty and we enjoyed. Room service was fast. Breakfast buffet was good. Kerala dishes were tasty. Joby at restaurant took care of us during buffet and Fatima was serving us during Lunch. Joby was an old timer and is with the hotel for a long time . Very humble and down to earth and such a service makes you feel happy. Staff service was very good overall. In the room, bed was comfortable. Enough drinking water bottles kept and more were brought once emptied. Nice it was. Night dinner we had Fish biriyani and Idli ulli chammanthi. Biriyani was very tasty but the other one few pieces were hard. Nice bar they have with good ambiance but as seen in a previous review, stock issues still exists. Because of Campari stockout I missed my favourite cocktail. Management needs to look into. Margarita was good. The highlight of the property is the location. Bang on Marine drive at city center and very close to shopping areas. The marine drive walkway has an entrance from the hotel and very good for a morning walk of 5 km straight by the side of backwaters. Many hotels and restaurants at walkable distance. The outside area from gate to porch needs to be beautified further to get a wow effect. In all a nice stay well enjoyed. Thanks to the staff.
The service was excellent, with Nikhil being especially helpful and attentive throughout, I would definitely recommend this place
Great ambience and service. A large group of us were accommodated at short notice. Staff were very friendly and courteous. The buffet was excellent and the music made the experience even more enjoyable.
I had an absolutely wonderful stay at your hotel. The hospitality, attention to detail, and overall service were truly impressive. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and offered a lovely view, while the food was consistently delicious with plenty of options to choose from.A big thank you to Nikhil Shetty from the reception for his courteous support throughout my stay and to Eldo at the restaurant for his warm and attentive service. I genuinely enjoyed every moment.
Always loved this property ..however this time stay was disappointing . I am sharing this feedback with the intention of helping uphold the exceptional Taj standards that we deeply value and have come to expect over the years. Detailed feedback sent to mr Satish babu
I had gone for Breakfast and Dinner and I loved the food there. The food is delicious. The breakfast spread was lavish. The North Indian Thali I had for dinner was scrumptious. The service here was impeccable. The staff were so kind and attentive - made the whole experience even better. Thanks Rahul 🙂 Will be visiting with my family soon 🙂
Very Nice and clean hotel. All staff is good... Thanks to Mr. Nirmal, Jobin, Duty Manager. Mr. Nitin as they were very helpful and made our stay an extremely comfortable one. Krishna Kumar, Manager, House Keeping and his team excelled. Thanks to Chefs Johnson's Chef Jayan and Chef Vishnu, Executive and Chef Anish Kumar. F&B; Sreejesh, Restaurant; team Saju, Joby, Karthika, Vinod, Both Eldhos are very efficient. The entire team is good in handling the restaurant. All people are responsible for creating the brand name of VIVANTA.
Stay at the hotel was pleasant and comfortable. Special appreciation to Nikhil and Karthika for their excellent assistance throughout the stay. The breakfast was delicious and added to the overall wonderful experience.

Great location. Good food. Helpful staff. Hotel is very clean,has a access to the beach. Enjoy staying at Taj Vivanta Cochin. Recommend stay there.
I had a wonderful stay at Vivanta. The staff were friendly, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was excellent. Truly a pleasant experience — would love to visit again
My wife and I took a short staycation at Vivanta Ernakulam and it was really worth it. The fantastic location on Maine Drive made it easy to drive around town, but the private gate to the Walkway along the waterside was a real bonus. It is safe to stroll and enjoy the breeze and the view The whole hotel had been renovated and the rooms were really nice, with convenient modern fittings, and a nice soothing colour scheme, with all amenities. The complimentary breakfast had a nice big spread, all of which looked and tasted good. The standout, however, was the pleasant, helpful efficient and courteous staff - who made us feel at home. Keep up the good work, Vivanta Ernakulam!
Best staff and the hospitality shown by Taj was incredible.spescial thanks to Mr Nikhil .really appriciate him.thank you!

Amazing stay and good food location is very prime and I'd like to suggest my friends and family ,Specially Nikhil from Front Office was very helpful in assisting us
Excellent Stay and all the staff are really helpful.Specially ID like to mention Mr.Nikhil at reception very courteous and suggested us some good place to go around.
We were pleased to get an early check in after an overnight flight. We enjoyed the complimentary boat trip on the lake. The staff were all very welcoming and the service was great. Food catered to all tastes and I enjoyed all the meals we had here. The view from our room was not the best but we didn't spend much time there as we were busy exploring. The swimming pool looked lovely but sadly we didn't get time to try it. The butterflies in the garden areas were fabulous to watch.
