Le Meridien Kochi, Cochin

Lovely property

4.2Family traveler

It a lovely property situated next to a backwater location in Ernakulam. Its about 25 minutes (14 from the Fort Kochi location where the most heritage properties are as is the Muziris Biennale. Two nuggets I want to add - do not miss a meal at the Grand pavilion & Nawras (MG Road). Amazing food for sea food lovers and good food aficionados in general. The Le Meridien stay was very warm mostly due to its attention lavished on us by its people starting from the top with the GM, the chef Negi, The restaurant manager Mahiul Islam, Rahul Jerath at the front desk & special mention for Veena at the spa. The staff in general are very attentive and deeply conscious of guest needs and I mean for ALL guests and room service is very prompt and attentive too. They took pains to make our stay comfortable and were very responsive to each 7 every need. The brilliant part is that Monica Suri has instituted this as a philosophy down the line to ALL staff members right up to the floor trainee housekeepers and that is VERY commendable indeed. The breakfast spread is very lavish, fresh & with lots of variety for every palate. AND the chef+team circulates regularly through the hall and is ever ready with custom preparations. The food was uniformly good (except one very badly prepared Sirloin steak on a single occasion. I think it was old possibly) and we had a great choice in both buffet & a la carte selections. The hotel will make travel arrangements for tourist activities on request (slightly more expensive but worth the difference as headache becomes zero) and we had a wonderful backwater tour at Allepey thanks to them. The pool & spa are very well maintained. They may not be the best visually as compared to more recent properties by the attention was impeccable & Veena at the spa was really knowledgeable on ayurveda and provided sterling service. In summary, good location + fantastic people with fabulous service levels + really great value for money. GO THERE!!!

Excellent and really impressed

Breakfast was extraordinary

4.2Group traveler

The hotel was really too good, the location was awesome, the rooms were too near but in one of our room bathroom drainage was not proper it was too bad, other things were really good. Pool was good but not up to the expectations because as the property is little bit old. May be the pool tiles should be changed for better aesthetic look. Rooms were too neat and highly comfortable except the bathroom issue which I faced in one of my rooms.

Good facilities but need to renovate the rooms

Good facilities but not keeping it properly. Very old hotel. They need to upgrade the rooms first. Very bad beds, its make us back pain sure. Pillows so heavy like a small bed. Bathroom too smelly and not tidy enough. Very good swimming pool but lot of broken tiles and we got a small accident due to broken tile in the pool side. Informed this incident to the pool attender and he did a first aid to my boy. Its time to renovate rooms ( Room No. 223). Except all this bad we like the hotel and enjoyed Nicely. Very good Breakfast and Restaurant.
