KTDC Mascot Hotel

Ambience, Personal care and concern entrance to exit, cleanliness, hygiene etc were outstanding. The buffet lung spread, menue, and taste was excellent. Very tasty.Did not avail the stay and hence room not able to comment.

I recently visited Mascot Hotel for lunch with family and friends, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. Being a heritage property, the ambiance has a classic charm that is perfect for a relaxed meal. The main course was delicious, offering a good variety of dishes where the flavors felt authentic and well-prepared, making it a reliable spot for a hearty group lunch. However, the dessert section was a bit of a letdown and didn't taste as premium or authentic as the rest of the meal. Additionally, the service could be more proactive and attentive to match the reputation of the hotel. Despite these minor issues, the quality of the main spread makes it worth a visit.

We recently visited KTDC Mascot Hotel for dinner to celebrate my son’s birthday along with our family and a close friend, and the experience was truly memorable.We were guided to Swathi Restaurant, which impressed us immediately with its palace-like ambience ’ beautifully maintained, clean, and neatly arranged. The management thoughtfully combined two tables for us, making the seating comfortable for our group.Although the staff count seemed slightly low, the team was extremely cooperative and polite. Initially they suggested opting for the buffet since ?? la carte would take some time, but once we confirmed that waiting was not an issue, they handled our orders professionally and patiently.The washrooms were spotless and well maintained, which always adds to the overall comfort of a dining experience.’’’ Food ’ Absolutely OutstandingEvery single item we ordered exceeded expectations:’Hot & Sour Soup (Veg & Chicken) ’ Simply superb. Perfect balance of pepper and salt, very soothing and flavourful.’Chilly Chicken & Dragon Chicken ’ Both were fresh, well-prepared, and delicious. The cashews in the dragon chicken clearly reflected the quality and freshness of ingredients used.’King Fish Nadan Curry ’ One of the highlights of the meal. The gravy was rich and authentic, and the fish was extremely fresh and well cooked.’Paneer Butter Masala ’ Soft, fresh paneer that could be cut with just a touch. Excellent texture and taste.’Navarathna Kurma ’ The best dish of the day. Exceptionally flavourful and perfectly balanced.’Breads ’ Appam, porotta, naan, and chapathi were all very good. The bread prices were slightly on the higher side, but the overall quality justified the experience.’Soda Lime (with salt & sugar) ’ Without exaggeration, the best soda lime I have ever had.’We also ordered Smirnoff, which was plain as flavored vodka was not available.’’ Pricing & Overall ValueApart from the bread section being slightly expensive, the rest of the dishes were very reasonably priced, especially considering the quality and standard of food ’ a far better deal compared to many regular restaurants.’ Final VerdictAll of us were completely satisfied with the food, service, ambience, and overall experience.This place is highly recommended for families, special occasions, and anyone looking for quality dining in Trivandrum.We will definitely be visiting again.

The heritage hotel offers spacious rooms with a lovely view, and the bathroom facilities were quite good. However, the property does show signs of needing better maintenance. The most disappointing aspect of the stay was the food. It felt overpriced and lacked value for money, with additional charges for almost everything. The taste was just average, which didn’t justify the high cost. Overall, while the accommodation itself was pleasant, the dining experience significantly lowered the overall impression of the stay.
