Vivanta Ernakulam, Marine Drive

Mufeed from the restaurant went beyond his call of duty and helped answer all our questions not related to the hotel, where all the reception staff where nice, friendly and polite, 1 exception stood out, Fatima always smiled and was always welcoming/courteous, this really made me feel extra welcome. I will deem this hotel as my first choice if re-visiting Cochin. 2 negative experiences: I ordered omelette and I got a cross between omelette and scrambled eggs (runny), I did not order omelette again during my stay, for a Taj chain, the sunbed mats are broken/ripped, I do not expect Tag Vivanta to use these worn out sunbed mats, they are not expensive for replace and the experience from guests maybe "for such a brand name/wonderful Hotel why are they not spending a small amount of money on the matts".

Love the location and the hospitality. Check-in experience was okayish, in-room dining was par (messes up the order couple of times) and breakfast buffet was pretty decent. Bathroom experience was below par as the WC didn’t look clean when arrived and towels smelled harsh chemicals. I’m not sure if there was a chemical residue which might be harmful to the skin.

Stayed at the Vivanta Taj Ernakulam for a day with spouse. The property is next to Marine Drive with a great view and walking pathway. The check in and check out was smooth. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful. We food was excellent with a lot of options to choose from. Overall a great stay.

Great hotel great location clean rooms and great service from all staff

Had a really nice time staying at Vivanta Ernakulam, Lakshmi and others were really polite and helpful.

It’s the people like Mr. Nikhil Shetty truly makes Taj very special. It was just one interaction with Mr. Nikhil Shetty Duty Manager on 05th March 2026 for a doubted request of assistance and trust me with no sense of rejection, he delivered what I wanted. Thank you so much for your best support and Service Mr. Nikhil Shetty. The reservation was for our Top level Management and with ease his stay was taken care of when he stayed at Vivanta Ernakulam, Marine Drive.

As a repeat guest, Swirl Bar at Taj continues to impress us every single time. The ambience is classy yet relaxed, the food is consistently excellent, and the overall experience never feels repetitive for me and my family. A special thanks to Saju, George, and Sujith for their outstanding hospitality and attentive service — they truly make every visit memorable. Looking forward to many more evenings here!

A home away from home. No matter how many new hotels and restaurants have come up in Kochi, we always find ourselves returning to Taj for its exemplary food and exceptional service. My husband and I are frequent visitors at Swirl Lounge Bar - Taj Vivanta — a relaxing lounge with scrumptious food and an extensive selection of beverages. A special mention to the wonderful team — Saju, George, and Sujith — who make every visit memorable. Their warmth and hospitality truly make us feel like family. We highly recommend Swirl, Taj Vivanta to anyone who wishes to have an unforgettable dine out in Kochi.
