“Quick Stay - Great for the Price Point”

Booked two rooms last minute for our family of 5 (all adults, at least in body not mind), as we had a brief stop in the city of Kochi before heading out to do a backwater boats tour.

Booked two rooms last minute for our family of 5 (all adults, at least in body not mind), as we had a brief stop in the city of Kochi before heading out to do a backwater boats tour. Very reasonably priced, almost half of what some of the western chains are charging, which was just perfect for us since we were checking in and out all within about 12 hours. Front desk was very helpful and switched our rooms to be adjacent/ conjoining upon checkin, later in the evening. After quick checkin our bags were brought up for us which was a nice touch. The front desk also arranged for a car to take us to Alleppy the next morning. The car ride seemed a little overpriced (compared to what we paid for a daily driver in other cities, and the ride service we ended up using for a taxi the day of departure from Alleppy) but it was last min, so no real complaint there. The rooms were very modern and clean, similar to what you would expect from a Marriott or Sheraton. Some of the design was a little odd- e.g. window from the bedroom into the bathroom that you had to step into the shower to roll down? Interesting design choice but kind of charming in its oddity. We did eat on the rooftop restaurant and were a little disappointed by the food - the waiter was kind of pushy telling us we didnt order enough bread items to dip in our curries, so we added on extra and ended with an abundance of food. The wine pour were super weak too which is odd considering the rooftop was presenting itself with a vineyard motif- but overall it didnt take away from our experience at the hotel.
