Hotel Excellency is a three star hotel on Nettipadam Road in the centre of Kochi, the headquarters of Ernakulam district in Central Kerala. It stands 550 m from the centre of Kochi, about 5 minutes on foot, and holds a guest score of 3.7 out of 5 from 1443 reviews. Its meeting rooms, business centre and banquet hall decide whether it fits your trip.
What the hotel provides
Hotel Excellency is a three star property with a guest score of 3.7 out of 5 from 1443 reviews. Its listed facilities fall into three groups. For eating and drinking there is a cafe and a restaurant. For work and events there is a business centre, meeting rooms and a banquet hall, so a company booking or a family function can be handled inside the building. For the practical side of a stay there is a 24 hour front desk, concierge, laundry, luggage storage, free WiFi and free parking.
A terrace adds open space to a hotel that is otherwise built around rooms and function areas. The combination of meeting rooms and a banquet hall is what separates Hotel Excellency from a plain city hotel, and the free WiFi and free parking remove two common charges from a stay. The cafe and restaurant mean meals can be taken without leaving the property.
Where the hotel sits
The address is P. B. N0. 1748 Nettipadam Road, in Kochi, the headquarters of Ernakulam district, a municipal corporation, in Central Kerala. The hotel is 550 m from the centre of Kochi, about 5 minutes on foot, so the main commercial and transport area of the city is within a short walk. Ernakulam district covers the mainland city and the islands around it.
Kochi sits near the coast, which puts the hotel in a port city rather than an inland town. Being in the centre means offices, shops and the railway and bus hubs of Ernakulam are close, while the water and the older parts of the city are a separate trip. For a visitor whose business is in the city centre, the location is the main argument for staying here.
Who it suits
Hotel Excellency suits business travellers and groups. The meeting rooms, business centre, banquet hall, free WiFi and free parking make it workable for a company stay or a function, and the 24 hour front desk helps with late arrivals. It does not suit travellers who want a resort or a quiet retreat by the water, because the setting is a city centre and the score of 3.7 out of 5 points to a solid rather than exceptional stay. Couples seeking solitude should look elsewhere.
Before you book
The listing does not say whether the restaurant and cafe serve all day or only at set hours, so confirm meal timings if you will arrive late. Ask whether the meeting rooms and banquet hall need to be reserved in advance, and what the terrace is used for. Check that a room on a lower floor is available if stairs are a concern, and confirm the parking arrangement for the size of your vehicle.

Questions people ask
Is Hotel Excellency close to the centre of Kochi?
Yes. The hotel is 550 m from the centre of Kochi, about 5 minutes on foot, so the main commercial area of Ernakulam is a short walk away. That makes it convenient for anyone whose work or errands are in the city centre.
Does Hotel Excellency have parking and WiFi?
Both free WiFi and free parking appear in the hotel's listed facilities. The parking is listed as free, but the listing does not say how many spaces are held or whether large vehicles fit, so it is worth confirming with the property before you arrive.
Can I hold a meeting or a function at Hotel Excellency?
The hotel lists meeting rooms, a business centre and a banquet hall, so both small meetings and larger functions can be accommodated. The listing gives no capacities, so ask the property directly about the size of each space and what equipment comes with it.
What is the guest score for Hotel Excellency?
The guest score is 3.7 out of 5 from 1443 reviews. That points to a dependable city hotel rather than a luxury one. Travellers who need meeting rooms and a central location will find the score reasonable; those expecting a resort should look at other options.
