Had a great experience at Vivanta, Kochi for my short little stay. The staffs were wonderful and had a beautiful time at the bubble cafe for the dinner and their breakfast.
Good location, but old property. Depressing lobby. Very friendly staff and good breakfast. Very small rooms evan the executive suite. Overall, not that great, but Ok.
Stayed at Vivanta for about 10 days in June. Good to be back in Kochi after 2 years. We landed just as the monsoon season was starting, so nice to see the rains.
Hotel is well maintained; staff are very responsive and courteous. Excellent food at the Bubble cafe.

This TAJ VIVANTA is in a good location on Marine drive, right off the backwaters. I recall staying here back in 1997 when it was La TAJ Residency. Compared to how it was then, the property looks like it hasn’t been maintained well. Also the Wi Fi here was terrible.
That said, the staff more than make up for that wth their courteous nature.
We had a fantastic stay at Vivanta Ernakulam. Staff were extremely attentive, responsive and helpful. The rooms were extremely clean. We appreciated the variety of delicious food for breakfast and dinner. We would definitely stay here again!
