Bolgatty palace stay was good with good service. Location and view were amazing. They have a swimming pool and kids area which was neat and clean. Food was amazing and service was good. Prawns curry was yummy. Morning breakfast also was very good. Negative side is the attached bathroom was so smelly although it was neat.. that gave a very bad experience. And during our stay at night two electricians barged into the room without any warning saying they were checking the electric connections and were very rude to us.
The Good: Good room service, polite staff (not reception), and great ambience are the main draws for this property. The Bad: The property struggles to overcome the negative impression left by the government heritage properties due to maintenance issues. Lake View Cottage: Initially given a room with relatively spacious single beds, we encountered a problem when the bathroom flooded into the room the tap was also not closing. Despite calling reception multiple times, the promised maintenance team never arrived. After contacting the booking agency, we were eventually provided with another room but we had to wait 2-3 hours. Unfortunately, the alternative room also had issues, including small single beds. The Ugly: At night, upon opening the door, a group of 5-6 people smoked right in front of our room and hosted a party with 10-15 people in a cramped room next to us. I don't know how the management allows so many guests in a small room with no policies. Alarms were unnecessary as water droplets from the AC served as a constant source of noise and nourished the pillow. The unpleasant smell emanating from the AC added its part as well. Sustainable Tourism: The lack of sustainable practices led to unnecessary waste, such as excessive use of plastic and paper wrappers for amenities like tea bags, glass water bottle caps, and dental kits. Despite enjoying the historical ambience, the overall experience leaves me undecided about staying here again. It may be preferable to stay elsewhere and visit the property instead.
DO NOT STAY HERE! Dilapidated and smelly rooms ! Not sure how they are a 3 star resort. The rooms have not been maintained or updated in a long while. So it’s very uncomfortable staying here. The stink from the AC is especially nauseating. We checked if there are other rooms but don’t seem to have any clean or updated rooms. However, the resort space is pretty good and has some good views of the marina. So if you are planning to come, it is a nice place to visit but do not stay. You will regret.
This is an amazing place to stay in Cochin. We stayed in the palace suite. The resort is well connected to other parts of Cochin. The food is decent. However, you can explore the other eatery nearby using any online delivery agents. Kids enjoyed the play area and swimming pool. They have a bar, which serves only beer and wine. I would have rated 5. However, considering the area of improvements like lack of maintenance of property, room service to be upskilled , increase the options of food or cuisine.
View of this palace hotel is impeccable. Waking up to the sound of the backwaters, overlooking the rooms is really stay worthy. Rooms and attached balcony are spacious. Property has good swimming pool and garden and lawn area to relax by the lake! Service of staff is commendable and the food is good in taste and quantity; However, as with every Indian state, the government properties lack maintenance! Issue with every Indian state government managed property! As a NRI, I am used to seeing such beautifully managed properties by foreign governments; however in India, expecting government properties to be managed properly is foolishness! In one of our 2 rooms, the refrigerator wasn’t working, half of the lights were not working; the ac had leakage issues! High time KTDC takes note of such things and maintain this beautiful heritage palace!
