“excellent service and lovely room”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2012

people found this review helpful

This was the last hotel we stayed in before leaving early next day to catch our return flight. The staff were very good and friendly and the room was very clean, modern with a brilliant shower. The Bubble Cafe served a delicious buffet lunch and the swimming pool area was very relaxing. I would definitely return to this hotel.

Great hotel with very friendly staff in a fabulous location with easily access to the city. Daily complimentary boat cruise organised for the evenings.. Great food in the Bubbles restaurant. All together a very pleasant stay. Rooms are mainly double and may be small if you have kids with you.

Room Tip: High floor facing the sea.

“Lovely hotel with an excellent restaurant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Staying here was a lovely experience, I had a harbour view room which was nice and airy. The staff were very helpful without being obtrusive, even down to the point of aligning some hand washing I had done so it dried in the sunshine in my room.

There is a spectacularly nice restaurant in the lobby and a decent pool. Recommended if you are staying in Cochin as it wasnt especially pricey either.

“Value for Money..”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

I stayed here for one day. The hotel was much better than what I expected. The service is really quick. The location of the hotel is a real plus. It is close to broadway market and some small malls. It is also close to the Jetty station from where you can catch a Ferry to reach fort kochi. The food is great though a little expensive. The buffet breakfast was damn good with so many verities. They provide complementary Cruise in the evening which was a good experience though I expected a better Cruise. The room was also very small. But overall a great experience.

“Nice Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

Hotel Gateway by Taj, Location is average as located next to the mall and the so called Marine Walk which looks like popular only to the locals. The Staff is JUST AMAZING, guy in reception - Deepak and the GRO's are really helpful and smiling all the times no matter they were seen doing a 14 Hour shift when asked they don't let you know how long they have been on the shift. Hotel provided a Sun Set Cruise free of cost...could have been better if the boat they had chosen would have given a bit of see side Kerala Touch, but was good and the guy in control allowed us to get into the front side for a better look. the food is good and you should have the breakfast at the cafe. Rooms are clean and big. Overall the property is well kept.

Room Tip: If you are looking for a True Kerala experience you may want to go for some other hotel....in the re...
