Casino Hotel Kochi: A Welcome escape!    Check Rates

    • My room Casino Hotel - Kochi
    My room Casino Hotel
    by suvanki
    The Casino Hotel was booked through Manos, while visiting Cochin as part of our Spice Route Tour.

    We were presented with a welcome fruit cocktail on arrival, before checking into our rooms.

    The hotel has a large foyer/ reception area, attractively decorated, with a mix of modern and colonial style fittings. The staff were polite and efficient and seemed keen to make us all welcome.

    Free map/guide to Cochin on reception.

    My room was very pleasant- Spacious, airy and clean.

    Twin beds, armchairs to relax in, a writing desk with stationery
    T.V / radio, mini bar, and welcome tray of assorted local snacks with a card describing each item.

    The spacious modern bathroom was well stocked with towels and toiletries.

    Lights, A/C, heating, room service etc. were all operated from a push button console, (which was a bit confusing when I awoke at 2am feeling unwell, and needing to find the bathroom light VERY quickly!)

    The Vasco De Gama Bar, Tharavadu coffee shop, Garden cafe by the pool, and Fort Cochin restaurant , which specialises in seafood, offered a variety of places to relax and enjoy a drink/meal.There was also a gift shop.

    Although this hotel would normally be out of my price range, I'm glad I had the chance to experience a night here as part of our tour.

    A welcoming hotel, despite being quite busy with tour groups etc.

    It did have quite a calm air about it, which was nice, after the heat / humidity and bustle of Cochin.

    Quite a few "extra touches" that made it a bit special. Welcome tray, with a sample of Keralan snacks, info about hotel/ Cochin etc.

    Also a "fitness route" map of 3.5, 4 and 7km runs around Cochin. No, I didn't try this, far too energetic for me in the heat and humidity!

    The lawned gardens/pool area is a pleasant place to rest. Very attentive staff are on hand with a supply of dry towels.
    Drinks and snacks are nicely presented.

    Our evening meal was taken in the restaurant.
    Hot/cold buffet, with a good selection of salads, assorted breads, western/local cuisine. A good selection of desserts too.

    Our meal was accompanied by a band, playing modern pop/light rock/C&W etc. which I quite enjoyed surprisingly.

    MALABAR HOUSE RESIDENCY (Fort Cochin)
    A recently refurbished hotel in the very centre of Fort Cochin. This old colonial house has been re-decorated in a mixed east-west style, making it an excellent topic for an Architechture-Design magazine. If you can't afford the prices, it deserves at least a visit to have a tea (36 Rs) at its little relaxing patio.
    From $80 (Low Season) to $140 (High Season) and 30% more (Peak Season).

    How do you account for too many kind deeds done to you , how does that affect you? and your actions towards others? This is the story of Aneesh AbooBakar from Paravur near Cerai Beach who is the assistant manager at Ballard Heritage Villa

    To get away from the sudden downpour, we walked into this shiny new hotel. No auto rikshaws or Buses coming this way.. pouring rain. He invited us in, offered us coffee and offered us mangos and kept us company until the rain abated. and told us about his family and about the history of the hotel. He also called Cerai Beach Resort to find out some information for us. Truly hospitable Malayalee.
    On our return we decided to stay at this hotel and were treated very very well.

    This is one of the more pleasant places to stay in Cochin. Situated in its own island, a short boat ride away is the Bolgatty Palace which is now converted into a convenient hotel. A former residence of the Dutch Governor the place reeks of history.

    If you are with your significant other, this is a most romantic place. There are secluded cottages and it is a fine place to watch the sunset.
