The Vivanta is undergoing slow renovations so it’s not fair to make this a review of the hotel as a whole. It’s just the first room I was assigned was a throwback to the 1970s and with the mold in the bathroom attesting to the passing of decades. I was moved to another room which was somewhat more from our own time. But then the keycard reader kept locking me out so they had to reprogram it or something. Anyhow the positives: the restaurant and bar are very nice spaces with pretty good food and drink. You can walk straight out to Marine Drive walkway, which is nice being right by the sea (but also somewhat sad and smelly—I know this is supposed to be the positive part!). The water metro (ferries) is just five minutes away by foot so you can easily get to Fort Kochi for historical sightseeing and pretty good shopping and dining, it’s an amazing 6 rupees. Overall I had a relaxing time and the staff and public spaces helped with that.

Another enjoyable visit
I have been using this hotel for more than 10 years visiting two or three times a year. The hotel is undergoing a phased refurbishment. During this stay we had a problem with the room lock which got quickly replaced. The overall standard of service experienced was still maintained at its usual historic level.

Stay was good. Nice location of hotel , but Hotel is very run down . The Manager at the reception was trying to convince us that the coffee shop is not open due to Covid conditions and they have not got a Chef yet . This was very absurd . We told them to leave Covid behind us and move forward.
