Advantages: Everything about this hotel Disadvantages: None
...Being closely associated with the tourism field in Kerala, and thereby experiencing ABAD, I can tell it is one of the perfect choices in Cochin.
The rooms are good. You get to experience the traditional Keralan style and Western types. The furniture are well maintained and comfortable. The pool is an attraction.The travel desk will help you with all your travel needs and for business travelers you can make use of the Business centre. The location is an added advantage, closenes to the airport and city center. The standard of sevice is very good. Staff are vey helpful.
The food is great. And more than everything, you get all of these at a very reasonable price.
I would recommend ABAD to all my friends you are traveling to Cochin....
