It was good.Staff friendly.

Excellent location and great restaurant for the best authentic malabar food

It's a legacy hotel on the MG Road in Kochi. Rooms are comfortable and you have a choice of classic and modem interiors. The restaurant serves an excellent choice of Kerala cuisine and multi cuisine. I am a regular there for all the above reasons as well as the hotel's proximity to some good shopping outlets.

Great. Courteous and friendly staff. Great food, lots of choices. Great location. Easy to get in and out

Everything was good, Food service,staff, room comfort etc

Staff are friendly and welcoming. Location is very central. Plenty of parking. Valet is available. Little bit of a mess outside on the road as the metro work is going on. Walking is hazardous.

Its an average hotel they served very basic breakfast didnt have much choice for vegetarians staff didnt know English and werent very accommodating. Elevator smelled like poop.

The Grand Hotel is close to Ernakulam Junction train station and around a 30 minute drive to the Fort Kochi area. It has old world charm but still has modern comforts and is a comfortable stay. The front desk and restaurant staff were friendly and helpful. There was a lot of construction going on in front of the hotel in February 2018 but it was not too much of a disturbance from our room which faced the main road. However if you are in Kochi to visit Fort Kochi it might be worthwhile looking for accommodation there rather than in the main city area.

We never could get a hot shower which disappointed us as the room was really good and spacious.and the bathroom quite large.

Good hotel and central location.

Hotel rooms are not very clean & furniture is also old . Location of the Hotel is not very good . Not recommended for business travellers . Its just 1 start H& not value for money .

Great hotel for exploring both Ernakulam and Ft Kochi - great restaurant.

The Grand Hotel in Ernakulam as mentioned on LonelyPlanets guide for south held its promises. A 60's hotel aged with respect. Professional, quality, clean and with great space both in rooms and common areas. With a renovated dining hall and new bathrooms this old hotel still feel up to date. The furniture is timetypical wooden 60's. There are some stains on my sofa and such but didn't bother me. Don't expect modern steel and glass - this is oldschool bit very wholehearted. The breakfast is very good. Indian base with add on made on demand omelett, hash brown, coffee and toast. Some fresh food in cubes. Morning pastries if you are into that. The restaurant at the Grand Hotel is popular and crowded - busy but the service is very efficient. The menu is big and hold a lot of different cousines but I have so far had the Keralas and the flavour is all there - very good standard and quality here. Not cheap but you get what you pay for I think. This hotel is in Ernakulam. I chose this because I am travelling onward and didnt want to stay in the more touristic Fort Cochi. I take the rik-shaw to the jetty 20-40 INR and then the ferry 4 INR and then I am at Fort Cochi. A bit more fuss but I like the morning walk and the trip on the waterways. Any downsides? There are construction going on outside and the first night they did do nightjobs which was disturbing. Following nights was silent but might probably happen again. I stayed at the Grand Hotel for 5 nights.

Good setting off point for Kerela trip

centralised.

Bed mattress has hard but ok

It was a pleasant stay

stay is good... M.G road area is corporate hub. Hotel is good but food is very much costly.

Grand Hotel is right in the middle of Cochin city and is easily accessible to a lot of restaurants around this place. It is well maintained with ample parking and courteous staff. The rooms are big and spacious.

Hotel Grand is located at a excellent location, in the heart of the city, walking distance from Marine Drive and the best part of the Grand is the Restaurant although you will get food only during Restaurant timings only but the food is amazing especially Local Kerala Cuisine. However, if you are looking for comfort and other prompt service, then it is not the right place.

we were surprised at the side of the room, two double beds , lovely polished floors and very comfortable,good breakfast although we were dissapointed with our dinner, ordered basil and garlic stuffed fish it had no hint of either flavour, all we could taste was the rich dark brown soy sauce on two thick slabs of fish?

The room was good neat and clean. Breakfast was did not have much choice to offer.

Good location all the staffs are friendly and very helpfull.i personally recommend this hotel is one of the best in Cochin

We arrived at 1:30 a.m. and someone was there to receive us, no problem. We had an enjoyable stay there.

Overall experience was very good.Restaurant was very good and buffet breakfast tasty and varied appealing to most nationalities I would have thought.

This was our second stay at this hotel. Deciding factor for us was the restaurant.

Good location n really good restaurant.....other things not worth the price....

Service was slow. Service at the hotel restaurant was very slow.
