Best resort to stay at while experiencing Kochi!
The staff was super helpful, responsive and hospitable. They showed us places and restaurants to explore during our stay in Kochi while graciously upgraded our room to ensure we do not feel congested.
Can’t wait to visit again soon!
This is the best hotel by far in Kochi. The team members make the difference.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Very friendly and helpful staff. The room was clean and decorated tastefully in heritage style. The breakfast & dinner buffet at Pepper was super delicious. The location is a little remote, however great to explore the old town of Cochin but far away from beaches to swimming.
Great hotel. The staff were fantastic, very proud and very friendly. Nothing was too much for them. Very quiet and the passing ships are a nice distraction. Facilities were first class and the smell inside the hotel just stays with you throughout your stay. The location is a little too far from the the airport, but that is a small blessing. I look forward to going there again.
Excellent support and service from planning stage till we left. Elizabeth (Guest RM) was super helpful, as were many other team members at the Front Desk, Restaurant and J Wellness.
Outstanding property with immaculate service and comfort. Easily the best luxury stay in Cochin. Mr Ahilan and Ms Elizabeth were thorough professionals and made sure our stay was perfect. Highly recommend!
We loved the live music played in the hotel throughout the day! All the fresh flowers in the rooms, hallways and throughout the hotel was a beautiful touch. We specially loved the friendly staff. The wait staff at the restaurant were extremely friendly!
I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Taj, everything here runs so smoothly and the staff are so professional but friendly at the same time.
I have decided to stay another week because I like it so much!
Wonderful staff & beautiful location. There was a very stingy smell in the bathroom for a short while which went away after sometime. Otherwise no complaints and excellent service
Beautiful property, exemplary service. The hotel does a lot of little things to make your stay special. Private traditional dance at check in, free evening snacks and tea, free sunset cruise and cultural entertainment. Don't think twice....book it....
Cons: Limited dining options outside the hotel.
