Great spot right on the water, close to local dining and shopping. The best thing was the proximity to the super low cost boat ride to Fort Kochi. Worth a return for sure.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Vivanta Ernakulam. The hotel itself is set on the edge of the backwaters. The art pieces around in the hotel are spectacular. No one in the staff was able to tell me their source. The staff is simply fantastic. From the front desk, the restaurant, the room service, all the way to ushers, everyone was friendly, very helpful and attentive. A huge thanks to them for making our stay so wonderful.
