Had a memorable break in this property located away from the hustle and bustle of crowded Cochin but still very close by. First impressions are the best and the front desk is among the most important parts of any property. Valerie set the tone when she took time to tell us about the amenities in the room and the property. Her advice on using the ferry to get to fort Kochi rather than travelling by our own car proved to be a blessing in hindsight. We used the ferry to get there and noticed all the roads were jam packed with vehicles and the place filled with people getting ready to welcome 2025. The standard rooms are huge and clean by all standards and you will never come across such standard rooms in Europe, US or Japan for this price. The staff were kind, polite and non intrusive. The property has all standard facilities. The food that we had a la carte from the restaurant was really good. I gave 5 stars because this property served its purpose and we felt rested and rejuvenated after taking a break here.

Hope they could fix the elliptical/cross trainer and the calf raise machine in the gym. The food like I mentioned earlier was pretty good save for the butter chicken which was salty and felt like it was taken from the buffet menu. But these are very few flaws, as we had a nice stay here and felt better off for choosing this for our one day break

Clean Nice pool Attentive staff Good small veggie restaurant round the corner (BTH Harbourgate)

Location is a bit weird, don’t expect to be able to do anything on willingdon island - most of it is a naval base. Have to rely on tuktuk then ferry to get to fort cochi quickly, this stops from 8.30pm…later than this it’s a 25 min tuktuk on bumpy roads. That said this is why it is so much cheaper than a fort kochi hotel. They organised a taxi from the airport but this was 3,800 rupees c. 4x the uber rate…may have been cheaper if we had specified a smaller car than AC Innova.

This was my second time here with a gap of 3 years in between and much hasn't changed - for good. The property still reserves its old world charm with colonial and keralean influence. Decked with Tanjore paintings and with the photographs of the erstwhile kochin kingdom along with few of its rulers, the halls, walkways and common guest areas are a delight to the eyes. The rooms are spacious and dining was a delight, the food is really filling and fresh. The only downside I noted this time was the breakfast which was really dull, bland and lacked varieties and also the limited parking space remains the same, they do have valet parking though. They have a lengthy pool and an ambient poolside with beautifully catered lawns. The neighborhood is really calm and quiet but not so far away from necessities - they have a taxi stand, ATMs, petrol bunks, hospital and other conveniences nearby. This place is best for people who enjoy staying a little far away from the hustle and traffic of the city but not being too detached from the vibe of the city. A good place to bring kids and elders alike or for business travel cause they have excellent wifi round the clock with spacious board rooms and lounges. The staff continues to maintain the famed CGH Earth hospitality, they are really cordial, helpful and friendly and the room service was prompt without any delays. The cherry on the cake is that they have books kept everywhere even in rooms for a short read. I really enjoyed the stay with my parents and will definitely return, hoping that the breakfast issue will be solved then.

The breakfast was very un-interesting compared to the taste and freshness which their restaurant produced otherwise.

The hotel is very well managed, boasting two restaurants that serve delicious food with exceptional menus. The breakfast was sumptuous. The pool was very pleasant and we were well cared for during our stay, able to order room service, poolside drinks and snacks. Access to Fort Kochi is by tuk tuk and ferry, or by taxi. Because the location is on Willingdon Island, it is not so easy to pop in to the city or the fort, but the peace and tranquility is a plus. The seafood restaurant under the banyan tree provided very special food. The room was very comfortable with a great mattress and regular cleaning. The staff were very helpful.

Be aware that the property is close to an airbase and daytime helicopter and plane flights cross the gardens - a bit noisy. The buffet lunch and dinner was excellent in quality and extensive, but as older people with limited appetites, the cost was prohibitive (1200 rupees per head)….perhaps they could introduce a pensioner lunch rate!

We liked the room and its size. Particularly, we liked the breakfast buffet with a lot of options. The hotel is located in a quite place which we liked.

The room didn't have any view. The check-in time was 2 PM. When we reached the hotel around 3:30, their lunch time was over which was only till 3 PM I think. After this, we did not have any option to have proper food. They had only snacks available to order and we had to go out for lunch. I think it would have been better to have lunch on the way to the hotel.

Lovely hotel on Willingdon Island. Staff, food and service were great. Room large and well appointed. Had airconditioning, chairs, desk, fridge with drinks. Bathroom had a bath as well as shower. Swimming pool large and clean with towels provided as well as changing area with showers and toilets.. Hotel is not in the tourist area so need to use tuk tuk to ferry point or taxis to get around. Also not many eating options nearby. This means it's in a nice quiet location. All of the food was great, buffet breakfast, buffet evening meal or a la carte - the entrecote steak was amazing. Range of cuisines available and there is also a seafood restaurant. The bar did beers, cocktails and other drinks and provided free nibbles with drinks. You could also order snacks that you could eat in the bar area. Used by tour groups so you know it's good! A great place to stay.

Casino Hotel is the perfect blend of tradition and modern luxury! ✨ Stroll through charming traditional corridors, relax in stylish modern bedrooms, indulge in mouthwatering cuisine, and dive into the refreshing swimming pools. 🏨🍽️🌊 An unforgettable stay awaits!

Faced a bit of a hiccup with dust allergy from the spare cot and bed, but the team handled it immediately once we informed them. 🛏️✨ Problem solved with care — now that’s great service!

The staff and the ambience were excellent. Very welcoming and very helpfull. The rooms were spacious and the welcome was warm. The bar area was a great place to have an evening drink and snack and buffet breakfast with omelette abs dosa station just gave us a real boost in the mornings. I would happily come back to this hotel. Thanks to the lobby lads, especially Alan who was thoughtful and helpful throughout our stay.

Only stayed for the night to get a flight the next day but it has a really nice pool and gym! The room was big and clean and nice shower. Staff were really helpful they sorted our taxis and exchanged our cash and we had excellent room service!

The food we ordered was okay nothing special and the location is very out the way of main Cochin!

Everything was excellent, from the check in till the checkout. We had a wonderful stay which the staff did a great job and helped us change the room to one with view and gave us everything we asked for. I’d like to thanks Krishna Kumar especially for his amazingly good help and kindness, as well as the guy from the housekeeping team who always left the room shiny and clean! 10/10 experience, would recommend this to anyone visiting Cochin. The breakfast was delicious, the staff are always friendly, neat and professional and the surroundings are beautiful as it’s a very quiet area to disconnect from the hassle.

Everything was extremely nice! Thumbs up
