Top Vayalar Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in Vayalar

Grand Hyatt Kochi Bolgatty

10/10 Excellent

"This is a fantastic resort hotel with all of the amenities I value: gym, pool, grounds etc. However the hotel gave me a room on the top floor below the Colony restaurant and I could hear the chairs scraping all night. They then changed my room to another floor but it was situated between rooms on either side of me with families with children, and I could hear them through the walls when they were in the rooms. This detracted from an otherwise great experience. The rooms are well allowing lovely views. I would go back, but make sure to be placed in a room that was not disturbed by outside noise."

Taj Kumarakom Resort & Spa, Kerala

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay at the Taj, from the hospitality and warmth of all the staff members to the individual attention to each group of guests, we experienced a very beautiful time there. I have stayed at the Oberoi and at Leela Palace, but the warmth and genuine care from the staff at the Taj, Komarakom was unparallelled. We were there to celebrate my mothers 75th bday, my sister, my mom and me, and the team at the Taj made it very memorable for us. We could also see similar hospitality towards all guests, and this contributed to a very relaxed and happy energy to the place, where most guests slowed down, reached out and connected with each other, found some common threads of connection, and exchanged life stories, making it even more memorable overall. Thank you team Taj, right from Mr Shain who communicated and arranged for a comfortable check in on the day of our arrival to Mr Khan and his team who checked in with us and made sure we were happy with the food and other services. A truly magical few days and memories for our lifetime. I hope to return with my husband soon."

Le Meridien Kochi

8/10 Good

"We stayed at the West Island wing of the property. While the rooms and setting are beautiful, be aware that the restaurants attached to the West Island rooms do not have a liquor license. If you want a beer, wine, or cocktail with dinner, you have to take the shuttle boat across the backwaters to the main property on the East side. It is a noticeable inconvenience for a 5-star resort, but otherwise a pleasant stay. Would easily rate this 5 stars if not for that daily inconvenience."
