Vivanta Thiruvananthapuram

The rooms were clean and well maintained. Management can consider providing pick up and drop services

Rooms were slightly small.

Excellent staff and very polite and cooperating chef

Clean and comfortable room, friendly staff, great local food for breakfast and lunch :)

Message communication through Booking.com was not smooth. My request to pick up from the airport did not go through. Would be better to communicate with the property directly.

Excellent location. Great Service. Good facilities & the flexibility of checking in and checking out 24 hours.

Nothing.

Very polite staff, food and service excellent. Also good location for CBD access etc.

Food and laundry prices seem very expensive compared to locality. Daily clean ok, but they didn't seem to change our bedding. Also several occasions toiletieries and shower gel was short. Had to ask to replenish stock.

Generally staff attitude and respect was excellent. Food service was also good. A good selection of dishes to try both local and foreign. Price was a bit on the expensive side for laundry and drinks.

They could do more to ensure room service is more prompt. and making sure toiletries etc regularly replenished without the need for chasing etc.

Vivanta ticks all the boxes of a good premium hotel - stylish, efficient, reasonably indulgent and hospitable. The hotel is a safe bet for anyone unfamiliar with the place since it is located in the central cultural zone of the city and will give you the familiarity and predictability of the Taj hotel group. Rooms are stylish, comfortable and well equipped. Ticks all the boxes here too. Breakfast spread was really good. I'd have loved to try more dishes since there were enough options across all cuisines - local dishes, south indian, north indian, continent, healthy and snacky in both veg and non veg.

The hotel in Thiruvananthapuram feels not too different from anywhere else. Being someone who lived in the city and returning to it 2 decades later, the hotel experience seemed very generic. Of course the people and food options gave it the local flavour, but the design, look, feel and experiences were mundanely global. (wonder if it's a reason to complain). The hotel is located in a by-lane, off the main roads and has nothing really to offer - sights, shopping, street food, etc - within casual walking distance.

Very good service levels from Reception Desk to Restaurant to Room service Staff very friendly, helpful -'happy to serve' Chef Amar Nath well connected with all in the Breakfast/dining room - ensuring that all orders were fully met Hotel Car service very good with very friendly driver - Akhil K

Location is good with hotel staff being very courteous

Everything was nice

​Our stay was an absolute delight, mostly because the staff acted like we were long-lost relatives instead of just another check-in. They were so incredibly pleasant and accommodating. The room itself was a fluffy nd comfortable. . And the food—oh, the food was a whole other experience. It was so delicious that my
