Casino Hotel - CGH Earth, Cochin

The breakfast and dinner buffet was great, a big choice and a good opportunity to test different indian dishes. There were a lot of plants, which was very nice. The price was good. The service at the restaurant was good. The island is quite and close to Fort Cochin.

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.

The breakfast spread spread was awesome ! As a family we enjoyed it. The dinner menu buffet spread was also very good. Loved the swimming pool. Well maintained with a staff on duty always present. The gym is also good. The air conditioning was excellent! The lobby area is vast and well designed.

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 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.
