Vivanta Ahmedabad SG Highway

We must have had one of the friendliest welcome ever from Saurabh the duty-manager. A genuine well-wishing conversation on the purpose of our trip in Ahmadabad and advice on how to go forward with things. It felt like we were talking to a family-member welcoming us home. A mixture of warmth and respectful politeness. He would enquire on our progress daily, always have a nice word for our daughter and remembered her name on day 1. Having worked in the catering business myself, this is a very hard thing to pull off : hats off to you Saurabh ! I spent quite some time in the lobby as my wife was caught up in video-conference meetings in the room. Our daughter loved the temporary real vintage yellow scooter on display during the Parsi festival. She pretended to ride it for hours and even got to make friends with another girl of her age in the process. We took a few complimentary drinks from a healthy-drink dispenser near the entrance and snacks here and there from the lobby bakery... and here was another lovely gesture from the staff. On 3-4 occasions during our 5-day stay, the waiter came to us in the lobby to offer a complimentary chocolates. That was unexpected and very sweet! In the restaurant, Chef Dev made it a point every morning to bring a customized pancake to our 6 year-old daughter. The hotel seems to host the crews of multiple airlines. That was in itself a show for our little one who would watch in admiration the hustle and bustle of air hostesses and pilots in full uniform throughout the morning. By the end of it, she changed her career plans from wanting to be an archaeologist to becoming an air hostess. At least that gave us an argument to get her to comb her hair spik and span every morning !

Good clean and spacious rooms. Excellent buffet spread for both breakfast and dinner. The staff go out of the way to make you feel comfortable. Ankit, Payal, Aditya and Suvranil were fabulous. Housekeeping led by Jenny is very good.

Very comfortable hotel with good air conditioning and reliable wi fi. Staff were very helpful and food excellent. The car with driver organised by the hotel was excellent, picking us up from the airport and taking us around Ahmedabad, to Gandhi’s ashram, the Modi Stadium and The Greenhouse Restaurant. Again very helpful.

Breakfast was really excellent, with a good spread of warm dishes and made-to-order items, in addition to the regular items one expects to find at Breakfast. The staff was friendly and responsive.

The overall hospitality was exceptional. Right from the front desk to room service. I never really had to wait for anything. The property is super clean. The morning buffet is amazing and the live kitchen doesn't make you feel away from home. Resturant Manager (Amarjit) and his team ensure that the food service is seamless and guests leave the tables with their appetite satisfied. Thanks for making my stay amazing.
