Le Meridien Kochi

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."

"Very good property, at an excellent location close to metro, Panampilly Nagar buzz, shops, restaurants etc. Stayed there for three nights. Only negative feedback I have are, which I had relayed to the front desk staff to; (a) the breakfast, though indicated as 7am start, never starts on time; live station wont be even lit until 7.30 or so. Felt that as very annoying if you are counting on completing the breakfast and get on with your day; (b) wi-fi "voucher" gets refreshed every day and you need to go and get a "voucher" slip every day from the front desk. Sometimes that is for one device, sometimes for two devices. Annoying."

The breakfast was tasty, I appreciated that the hotel rang us to remind us about the free breakfast. My one complaint is that the the hotel staff reminded us three time there would be a few if we created any stain on the sheets. No issue about the requirement just don't mention it three times during check in, we are the customers after all. Overall great place will stay again."
