Advantages: Great staff, great food, great room Disadvantages: None!
...I stayed here for 3 days in August 2006. We got a good deal on prices as it was the monsoon, though from the weather you couldn't tell. It is definitely worth considering coming in the low season.
The hotel is reasonably modern and very clean. The rooms are what you expect from a Hilton, with lots of little nice touches - free 2l bottle of water each day - great for sightseeing! There is also some lovely toiletries and slippers provided. About half of the rooms look out over the central garden which contains the very nice swimming pool.
The food is lovely. The breakfast is done buffet style but there is so much choice and is constantly being replenished so things are always hot. There is both Indian breakfasts as well as more Western alternatives available. An evening meal wasn't included in our price, so you can either eat out or stay...

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....

Not quite what I was expecting from the Hilton Hotel chain as a whole.
