The Grand Hotel offered spacious rooms with a comfortable mattresses and a powerful shower with plenty of hot water. While clean the sheets on my bed were showing signs of age and were starting to fray. The air conditioning worked well and kept the room cool. The inclusive buffet breakfast had a good range of options including Indian and continental choices. We particularly enjoyed the bar which was lively and welcoming. The hotel was centrally place to explore the down town area and a ferry service offered easy access to the historic Fort area, although if visiting Kochi again I would choose to stay in the historic area instead.

“Aged but holds up well”

While dated, the hotel was built more than a half-century ago, rooms reflect the care that era afforded guests. My room was surprisingly large with a separate low table and lounge chairs.

While dated, the hotel was built more than a half-century ago, rooms reflect the care that era afforded guests. My room was surprisingly large with a separate low table and lounge chairs. I liked the non-slip tile panel in the shower, an unheard of safety feature in Indian hotels I stayed at. The niche for the coffee maker was comfortably placed at chest level separate from the desk. Usually the desk is crowded with the hot water, kettle, phone, water bottles and the like, limiting the available work space. Not so here. The restaurant is famed for the biriyani and very popular with local residents despite a higher pricing. Overall I had a very pleasant stay.
