I liked the service, room cleanliness etc.
However, the brreakfast did not come up to usual Taj standards.
Below average food
Had all the facilities I required for my stay. Excellent location
too much waiting at main reception.
Great location, nice atmosphere and cosy feeling in the rooms.
You cannot open the window and being in AC room with no air coming from airside directly makes my sick after few days.

The staff were friendly and tried to be helpful
I stayed here 3 days after a one month stay in Kerala. In my room the carpet rug was dirty. The windows were dirty. There was constantly a cleaning trolley and activity outside in the corridor. The acoustics aren't great. The main restaurant was really disappointing. Breakfast was quite good however the staff weren't properly trained. They left dirty cutlery " to use on the next course " whilst taking the dirty plates. There was a guy walking around squatting flies with a zapper on and around the tables of guests while we ate. All the ala carte dining portions were for two people. Any snack food contained gluten so I couldn't eat it. One night I ordered a sweet corn soup which was like hospital food. The menu was really disappointing. There's two TVs constantly on in the dinings room. There was another restaurant there but they only serve Thali at lunch. When I decided I didn't want Thali the chef suggested I wouldn't like spicy food and there was western food. That was probably because I'm white but it couldn't be further from the truth. Not 5 star behaviour. The luggage trolley took 25 minutes to come and pick up my luggage when I left.I went down stairs to try and get it picked up after 2 phone calls and the guy with the trolley was wandering around with an empty trolley in a empty foyer.

Comfortable
We stayed at Vivanta for five nights as a group, occupying three rooms. The team did a great job arranging adjacent rooms for us, which made our stay even more convenient. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. One of the highlights of our stay was definitely the breakfast. There was an impressive variety every day, with many unique and different options to choose from. A special mention to Mohan, whose tea and coffee were exceptional. He always made sure each of us got our drinks exactly the way we liked them. The chef personally walked around to ensure that all guests’ needs were taken care of, which added a very thoughtful touch to the experience. The manager was also extremely helpful in recommending sightseeing options, and his suggestions turned out to be very useful. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. The reception team also did an excellent job throughout our stay. Highly recommended
Breakfast is sumptuous with good spread. The location is excellent. The staff are very good and exceed the expectations

Perfect for two days to relax and go to the gym and rooftop swimmingpool
great central location. Service was impeccable at the hotel, especially the front desk who were able to provide some very specific advice on Darshans at the Main temple. Anju at the front desk was very charming and help ful.

Everything ! Amazing service and ambience. Hospitality at its best ! We stayed for one night at the property. Our main purpose of stay was to visit Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple next morning. This property is very close to the temple, just a five to seven minutes’ drive in the morning. Adith deserves special mention for giving us some excellent tips. It was our wedding anniversary, we had dinner in the Konkan Cafe Restaurant which is inside the hotel. The decor is superb and the food was awesome. Overall, an excellent experience.

Quite location with no noises around
No walking space around the property except in the front
The cleanliness of the Hotel was exceptionally good with shining tiles in the washroom and clean rooms. The breakfast platter was also good with Indian as well as continental options.
The breakfast staff service was a bit slow and could have been faster.

What guests love
Areas to consider
Cleanliness
7.2/10Mixed feedback: some praise for cleanliness (e.g., 'Sauber'), but several guests reported dirty carpet and windows, frequent corridor cleaning activity and visible service trolleys, lowering the score.
Service
9.6/10Strong positive sentiment: numerous comments about friendly, courteous and helpful staff, good hospitality and Taj-standard service; isolated issues (long luggage/trolley waits, reception delays) noted but outweighed by consistent praise.
Location
9.6/10Consistently praised: described as excellent/central and convenient (close to airport and railway); a minority noted it isn't ideal for walking to the city centre, but overall location is a key strength.
Room Quality
7.6/10Mixed: rooms described as cosy and comfortable by some, but recurring complaints about small/congested room size, inability to open windows and limited fresh air from AC, and occasional cleanliness concerns.
Amenities
9.6/10Positive: guests mention good facilities (fitness centre, swimming pool), a strong breakfast offering and that the hotel had required facilities for stays; overall amenities are a notable plus.
Value for Money
9.6/10Frequently cited as good value: multiple reviewers explicitly noted value for money and satisfaction with the service-to-price balance.
Food and Beverage
7.4/10Mixed to below-average for some: breakfast receives positive mentions, but several guests found main restaurant and à la carte dining disappointing, with comments on poor menu choices, portions and inconsistent quality.
Overall Experience
9/10Generally positive overall: many reviewers report enjoyable, pleasant or exceptional stays thanks to staff, location and amenities, though some guests had notable service/food/room concerns that temper the experience.
