Casino Hotel - Cgh Earth, Cochin

Nice budget stay for business travel.

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 ***** 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.
