Kankanady Hotels, Mangaluru

"Both Expedia and hotel are making a scam. Bogus duo. Don’t book here. I lost my money."

"Worst rooms and poor service "

"The pros: Good location Very cheap The hotel felt safe The cons: Lack of attention to detail with cleaning - it didn’t feel properly dirty but it didn’t feel as clean as I’d have liked it to. The bedding was quite worn - so whilst I’m sure it was actually clean, it being greyish (originally white) didn’t make me feel like it was. Not all plug sockets properly attached to the wall. Staff asked me directly for tips - this is possibly because of language barrier and me not understanding the hints being made, but I still didn’t appreciate it. In summary: I stayed 3 nights, but if anywhere better would have been available that weekend (most places were fully booked all weekend) then I would have checked out early and stayed elsewhere."

"I happened to stay in Ocean Pearl for a day in last week of December and my experience was delightful. Some delightful points: 1) Eventhough the hotel is situated on a busy junction, but rooms were very well insulated, never felt any trafic noise filtering into the room. 2) Hotel Staff was very prompt & helpful in their checkin support & during our stay. 3) Rooms were very clean & well maintained. Beddings and Toiletries were taken care. 4) Hot water was available round the clock. 5) TV channels were somewhat missing, but not a deal breaker, the issue might have been resolved if I would have brought it to notice of relevant authorities. 6) We had Breakfast included in our stay, and it was very good and wholesome. Lot many items including South Indian, North Indian, Continental menu were on offer and taste was delightful. Some Things that can be improved 1) Parking is less considering the size of hotel, most of the cars are parked within the premise of the hotel, rest have to be parked in basement, which is not that easy considering the overall size. So, one needs to park in sun or park in basement. They do provide free valet service that can assist with parking though. 2) The service at the Hotel left a lot to be desired. Service time as way to high, we got the table well in time, but the service was very slow in both the instances that we dined. "

"Yes. "

"This appeared to be the most luxurious hotel in the area. We had previously stayed at A.J. Grand and found it did not have sufficient ameneties in the room and booked at Vivanta for the second night of our stay in Mangalore. Really happy we made the switch! The lobby and restaurants were upscale. Our bedroom and bathroom were clean, modern, and had everything one would expect. There was a strange odor in our hallway when we arrived, but we did not smell it again later in the day. The area around the botel is not great. It is not suitable for walking around/exploring. You'll need to take an auto if you want to get out. "
