What guests think

At Taj Malabar Resort & Spa, Cochin., travellers consistently praise the exceptionally friendly, professional staff and the beautiful waterfront setting, with many enjoying the classy heritage touches, delightful pool, and thoughtful extras like a complimentary sunset cruise and cultural activities.

Many report excellent food and generous breakfasts, though service at Pepper and buffet quality receive occasional criticism. The location is somewhat remote, with limited dining nearby and longer transfers; it is convenient for old-town Kochi but far from beaches and the airport. Rooms showcase tasteful heritage decor and pleasing views for many, but some cite dated fittings, extra charges for better views, or maintenance issues, and a few stays coincided with renovations that curtailed amenities. Expect a polished, relaxing waterfront resort stay with thoughtful touches.

Tack för att vi fick uppleva Taj, alla så vänliga, 100% service rakt igenom. Ett av de absolut bästa hotell jag bott på så vackert och personligt. Missa inte denna pärla, och vilken start på morgonen med Yoga, det var en ny upplevelse som jag kommer att ta med mig och fortsätta med ❤️

Cet hôtel est magnifique mais très excentré. J’ai été très déçue par la chambre qui m’a été attribuée après tout ce temps où je n’ai pu me rendre en Inde (Covid). Au 1er étage vue sur une sorte de garage alors que l’hôtel est situé au bord de la mer. J’ai dû payer 80€ De supplément pour changer de cHambre pour 2 nuits. Mais c’était très bien pour tout le reste :bar, restaurant, piscine, spa….. Merci à tous

Beautiful hotel and views, good food, breakfast and very nice bar. Staff very friendly efficient and helpful. Enjoyed the evening boat ride and pool is amazing, you can see river dolphins sometimes. Small point of feedback is in relation to maintenance and attention to detail. Cupboard doors were not closing properly, there was a sticker on the toilet seat, soap dispenser in lounge toilet was dirty. But no major issues, we had a wonderful time

Private traditional dance at check in, free evening snacks and tea, free sunset cruise and cultural entertainment. Don't think twice....book it.... Cons: Limited dining options outside the hotel. Do

I had 2 rooms booked for a family of 5. I was given 1 in the heritage wing and 1 in the tower wing. The front desk mentioned they will upgrade us to be together and moved us to the tower wing. the room didnt have dual charger plugs, the hot water in the shower was not working and the guest checkin and buffet was sub standard to The Taj experience we are accustomed to. However, the overall stay, the bar and property location is amazing and enjoyable!!! Manager was very helpful and provided voluntary assistance without even complaining.

Great hotel. The staff were fantastic, very proud and very friendly. Nothing was too much for them. Very quiet and the passing ships are a nice distraction. Facilities were first class and the smell inside the hotel just stays with you throughout your stay. The location is a little too far from the the airport, but that is a small blessing. I look forward to going there again.
