Kochi hotellia

Plussat: Very clean, spacious rooms, excellent housekeeping services, had the same housekeeper every day, a very personal touch. Nice choices of restaurants. Great food. Excellent location and views of the backwaters.

Miinukset: Only thing I would like to see change is some of the wait staff in the restaurants seemed a bit unsure of themselves.

Plussat: Not really possible to walk anywhere from the hotel but taxis are quick so it's a minor issue

Miinukset: Staff are all amazing. Friendly, helpful and make you feel really welcome

Miinukset: Price was on a higher side, in a Tier2 city, charging equal or more than Tier1. The hotel is running on heavily discounted MICE guests and then charging such high prices for FIT is not fair. The same owners run different brands at half price, perhaps i will consider those next time

Plussat: Water front

Miinukset: Getting in & out (traffic)

Plussat: Yes! You want stay here! Near to the sea, quiet hotel with nice hosts. Great breakfast!

Plussat: The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Patrick and his wife were great hosts. They were very helpful with advice. The roof garden an oasis of plants and light.

Miinukset: Nothing was disagreeable. A great stay.

Plussat: The gardens are amazing, rooms delightful and fully equipped Roof top area was lovely and washing facilities available Food varied daily and if not to ones liking Patrick, Mary and family would try and accommodate your individual needs. A homely cheerful household and very helpful

Miinukset: Mosquitos were annoying for a few hours a day so providing coils or spray for guests may be an idea

Plussat: Very good location, in a quiet street but close to the attractions of Fort Cochin. The property itself is really nice too and the owners were really helpful, even offering to cook me breakfast at 5:30 on new year's day as i had to catch a flight!

Miinukset: wi-fi signal was weak to non-existent in my room, although it worked fine in the breakfast room. Bathroom was a bit old.

Plussat: It was clean and maid came in daily to provide fresh towels and make the bed. Breakfast was good with a wide choice. The property is surrounded by beautiful cultivated greenery and flowers. Close to shops and restaurants.

Miinukset: The green plants encouraged mosquitoes, so it was a quick dash upstairs whenever you arrived. A 20 minute walk or short tuk tuk ride into central Fort Kochi.

Plussat: Heavenly Homestay is on a quiet (and narrow) street only 10 minutes walk from the cafes and shops of Fort Kochi, or the harbourside. An excellent location. The house has a nice garden and the rooms are upstairs with a small balcony. The host provides an excellent breakfast. Facilities are good and there is a place to sit outside, as well as a rooftop area where you an do your washing and hang clothes to dry. Rooms are air-conditioned.

Miinukset: The room was a little cluttered with unnecessary items, and could have done with somewhere to put luggage and hang clothes instead! They allow smoking in the sitting area outside, which might make it unusable for some people.

Plussat: The rooms are lovely, and thoughtfully decorated. The tea & coffee making facilities were appreciated. The beds were very comfortable. It was spotlessly clean. The hosts are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Location is good and easy to find on Google maps, it is very close to everything in fort Kochi. Highly recommended.

Miinukset: The green area at the front of the homestay has a lot of mosquitoes

Plussat: Patrick the owner went out of his way to help arrange things for us, such as a car and driver. Many thanks Patrick, without your perseverance we could have been quite stuck..... He also gave good advice on local things to see and arranged tickets for a local tradition show. Breakfast was a good spread of local dishes along with omelette and fried eggs. Very filling for the day ahead. The bed was comfortable. The homestay is very convenient to visit all the sights and sea area, whilst being in a quiet side street. We walked everywhere quite easily. (There are many places to eat nearby and Solo, just around the corner is not to be missed, it was so good we ate there two nights, excellent). Mary was also very friendly and seemed to really enjoy preparing breakfast for everyone. Breakfast is communal are the one dining table which was lovely to chat with fellow travellers. One other point to mention is that we arrived on a very early flight and Patrick had the room which had just been vacated cleaned and turned around very promptly. In summary, a pleasant homestay with Patrick the host, going the extra mile to advise and help as much as possible.

Miinukset: Room and furniture were dated with an old fridge and tv etc although everything worked. Balcony very narrow and not pleasant to sit out on.

Plussat: Patrick and Mary gave good advice about where to go.

Plussat: Very clean, quiet and central location. Friendly owners

Miinukset: Mosquitonet would be nice

Plussat: Erinomaisen laadukas aamiainen, Sai joko keralalaiseen tyyllin tai mannermaiseen tyyliin. isäntäväki hyvin sydämellistä ja auttavaista. Oli tosi mukavaa keskustella heidän kanssaan. Tulen uudestaan!

Miinukset: On matkailiijasta itsestään kiinni, miten asennoituu, Talo oli äärimmäisen siisti ja kaunis. Katujen roskakasat antavat vaikutelman, että Intia ei todllisuudessa pidä tärkeänä ympäristökysymystä.

Plussat: Most fantastic hosts and spotlessly lean. Very quiet location. Excellent breakfast. Cannot rate highly enough.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Hosts were very nice and helpful with everything we needed. we ended up extend our stay so they organized a room for us. Breakfast was very delicious also

Plussat: Very clean accomodation. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. They booked the tickets for the tatakhali show for us and even helped us with our next accomodation we were having some trouble to contact. Good to know is that they can book allepey backwater cruises for a good price! Isto wish I knew that before. ..

Plussat: The place is quite central in Fort Kochi. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. We had delicious Indian breakfast (which you need to pre-order a day ahead). Would definitely recommend staying there. Good value for money.

Plussat: Beautiful premises, lovely hosts, great location, would recommend it to anyone!

Miinukset: Nothing - everything was perfect!

Plussat: Good continental and Indian breakfast. Excellent Wifi. In 15 minutes on foot you can reach the main attractions of Fort Kochi. Excellent value for money.

Miinukset: Cleaning should be improved. The toilet was dirty. There is no bottle of water in the room but it is available for a fee.

Plussat: The hosts are extremely accommodating, we arrived at 6am after a 15 hour train journey and they had our room ready to check in. They helped us book tickets and hire a scooter at a reasonable price. The rooms are clean and tidy and I really couldn't fault my stay at Bastians guest house at all! I don't think you could get better for the extremely reasonable price!

Plussat: Mr Bastian and his wife were extremely helpful and catered for our every need including booking train tickets, taxis, trips etc at no extra cost. The room was of a high standard, clean, well decorated and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and good value. The WiFi was good. There was plenty of hot water and the shower was good.

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: Everything was perfect. Absolutely perfect

Miinukset: Communications with reservations was poor. Nonetheless, the concierge did a good job of picking up on our transfer request.

Plussat: Everything was superb. We will be going back there by the end of this year...

Miinukset: Close to lulu mall and the buggy service was excellent

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff. Proximity to Lulu Mall with complimentary golf cart transfer service.

Miinukset: The continental side of the breakfast buffet, especially the egg station, is very below par for a hotel like this. The Indian food, on the other hand, is really top notch.

Plussat: Joseph and his wife are friendly and helpful. The breakfast is a nice mix of both western and Indian. The house is nicely designed and well maintained. The two pet birds were very popular with my son.

Miinukset: The bed matress aren't 100% comfortable.

Plussat: The folks, the place, breakfast...

Plussat: Staff is flexible and friendly, central location, clean enough. We also had a small breakfast outside standard hours.

Plussat: This is a good base in an interesting part of Cochi. There are many attractions nearby and pretty lanes with crafts and cafes. The property has an internal courtyard which is attractively planted and lit. Rooms are interestingly furnished. The shower was hot. Well done for having a hairdryer. The owner Oliver gave us a warm welcome and was very helpful with the booking of a waterways trip. His parents are around too and mum served breakfast. There is a choice of Indian and Western food. A Kathakali dance and music centre with nightly performances is very close. I would return here.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The family running the inn are wonderful people who cared for me with refreshments, meals and a comfortable room. I highly recommend the Fort Bungalow.

Miinukset: I found nothing to complain about or any shortfall to the requirements of a small guesthouse.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Wonderful stay at Fort Bungalow - spotless rooms and beautiful property in a great location - thank you Joseph and we will be back!

Plussat: Breakfast and rooftop pool were exceptional. Rooms were clean, consistent hot water in bathroom. Although centrally located it was quiet at night, and close to excellent restaurants.

Miinukset: Could have been better mosquito control in public areas of the hotel. Small complaint overall though.

Plussat: Clean pool it's nice and relaxing, good shower, good selection for movies and overall clean.

Miinukset: So many mosquitos in the hotel but then again the whole place is full of them so expect to be bitten wherever you go even with spray on. Only few things that let this hotel down is lack of plugs within the rooms, the reception staff ripped us off for our taxi to the airport, cant get any alcohol from the hotel and the breakfast wasn't the best it's mainly for the Indians.

Plussat: The only place I stay while in Ft. Cochin! Quaint, small, within walking distance to everywhere! Clean rooms. The staff - everyone - is so accommodating, courteous and pleasant. Good, tasty breakfast. Chef was courteous and patient and prepared to order; server was quick and pleasant. Rooftop is a nice quiet place to have a relaxing breakfast. Great!!!

Miinukset: n/a

Plussat: Great location, welcoming, friendly, attentive staff. Wonderful rooftop pool.

Plussat: Staff extremely helpful, food at breakfast limited but good, arranged great trips for us and we felt well looked after. Good pool, excellent location and the staff went out of their way to make sure we were safely transported even when we got stuck! Great communication and they constantly checked that we were happy with the room etc. Fridge available and a kettle on request. Highly recommended.

Miinukset: Nothing wrong at all, a few mosquitos to look out for in reception! Would have liked a kettle but were provided with one as soon as we asked. Pool beds a little rustier than I remember when I visited two years ago, but hey, I’m nit picking, it was great!

Plussat: The location was good. Breakfast was good.

Miinukset: They promised WiFi. There was none., I asked for a motorized boat for the back waters. They said no problem. We did not get a motorized boat.

Plussat: Location, rooftop pool, comfortable bed.

Miinukset: No fridge in bedroom.

Plussat: The service provided by the house keeping staff.

Miinukset: The rooms were unclean. Not professionally cleaned.

Plussat: The Kerala cuisine at breakfast

Miinukset: The lack of privacy between bedroom and bathroom. The blind could not be pulled down

Plussat: Grill items to be little more marinated & grilled properly. It was not upto our expectation.

Miinukset: Breakfast.

Plussat: Everything - the staff, the food, the facilities and ambience.

Miinukset: Distance from places of interest

Plussat: All staff very friendly throughout the hotel.

Miinukset: Spa treatment was rather harsh

Plussat: Staff was very helpful and the facilities were clean and well appointed.

Miinukset: The location was too distant from any good or service or entertainment destinations

Miinukset: The back water tour organised by Hotel was a bit of a disappointment as we missed the sunset and the entrance to the Arabian sea as we were promised!!

Plussat: Breakfast was delicious, room service very fast and professional

Miinukset: It didn't meet my expectations as five stars hotel

Plussat: Great place. We came here for our last night in India before moving to the airport and going back home. Hotel is in a business area so not that much to do outside the hotel, but the facilities are great. Very nice pool, super friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic food and nice clean rooms.

Plussat: Good reception especially Mr Allen. Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff Recommended

Miinukset: Bath drainage blocke; water flooded all in the surface. Toilet amenities only for one person and we are two. No toilet shoes. TV chanels limited

Plussat: Everything, the standard was acceptional, the hotel is only 18 months old and absolutely beautiful! All the staff were so kind and helpful, the front desk team were lovely! :)

Miinukset: The only very slight thing that could be changed and then I would have given a 10 is the small white and grey tables between the sunbeds at the pool. They need to be cleaned more often to be the same excellent standard as the rest of the hotel which I couldn't fault at all.

Plussat: From Check in to Check out it was perfect

Miinukset: All was perfect

Plussat: The front office staff and restaurant staffs were excellent. The rooms are also good.The only flaw is that choice of restaurant is not there.

Miinukset: The lifts don't take you the parking area.

Plussat: The glass pot decoration and food.

Miinukset: Needed a shampoo tube, informed service desk,but didn't received.

Plussat: The courtesy of staffs, especially Habiba (front desk) and Rajiba (F&B). Food was awesome and pocket friendly. Rooms were spacious and A/c was adjusted in fair and optimum manner. Room services was ok. Easy accessibility for means of transport like auto, taxis etc. 24 hours gym and swimming pools open till 8 pm.

Miinukset: There is no kids friendly pool. There should be extra kids inflated pool supporters. Only one was available.

Plussat: Beautiful hotel, fantastic staff and amazing food! The garden is a lovely place to sit and chill in and the live traditional Indian music each night is a lovely touch. Right in the centre of the buzz of Fort Cochin, a great choice for any traveller.

Plussat: Breakfast was amazing, room was lovely with nice facilities and the staff were so friendly, they could not do enough for you!

Miinukset: For me, bed was a bit firm but nice thick mattress. I have slept on worse!

Plussat: It’s a beautiful property that was conveniently located to many of the most important sites. The staff were very helpful. I ate at the restaurant and wine bar and the food was very good. I especially loved the live music they had in the evening. I didn’t have a chance to visit the spa but there is an Ayurvedic spa on the premises too. I would definitely stay here again for future visits.

Miinukset: The first night I ate in the restaurant the service was a little slow but the food was delicious. Also there are mosquitoes in the area (all over Kerala not just the hotel) so I would recommend insect repellent since the restaurant is open.

Plussat: The design, look and feel of Malabar House is just perfect. It’s relaxed, unpretentious but gorgeous with exceptional staff. The pool is small but perfect. The spa staff are fantastic too. It’s not really a hotel for kids.

Miinukset: The only slightly weak spot was breakfast and that’s been very nit picky. More fruit at breakfast would have been good.

Plussat: Comfortable, great location and good food!

Plussat: Staff were extremely helpful. Service was always excellent. The hotel is very stylish and the facilities are of a high standard.

Plussat: Massages. Staff. Chef.

Miinukset: Its v expensive and beds could ge a bit bigger

Plussat: An amazing hotel piece of paradise in the middle Great place to stay great stuff

Plussat: Excellent location, outstanding breakfast, friendly and helpful staff, outstanding hotel interiors

Miinukset: bathroom bath tub design has very poor accessibility for even slightly disabled guests (that is not needing any special attention). Should be replaced by a simple shower system

Plussat: Pool is nice

Miinukset: The pool chairs and cushions are poor conditions

Plussat: Fabulous room, property and location

Miinukset: It is quite noisy & polluted as it is right next to the ferry terminal. It is the most beautiful property but considering how expensive it is the service throughout the hotel was a bit slap ¬ very on the ball.

Plussat: Very clean and comfortable, great location

Miinukset: Too costly, service not up to mark for cost. Changes in schedule once booked was resisted at all levels and no consideration for being flexible to accommodate special requests

Plussat: The location was good and the Colonial building. We liked the eco friendly initiative taken by the management. Bottled water in the room, Christmas deco on recycled paper, processing drinking water in- house were some of the initiative that caught our eyes.

Miinukset: House keeping was average. Failed to clear the milk pots and on the 4th day, I had 3 milk pots with left over milk in my room. The breakfast options were very limited and average. Even smaller hotels provide fruits in the room but here none. Food in the restaurant was very poor and we did give feedback to the staff on both occasions.

Plussat: 5 star faciltieis with pool, spa, restaurants, entertainment all around was great.

Miinukset: Service for checking in could have been lot quicker and smoother, had to wait hour or 2 for our room to be ready around midday

Plussat: I am so shocked how is this hotel a five stars!!!

Miinukset: Very old building and smells bad. The hotel facilities are so dirty gym, health club, dishes and walking paths

Plussat: The breakfast

Miinukset: The room facilities

Plussat: Breakfast included with rate. Eggs and pancakes to order. Plenty of selection. Courteous and professional staff. Cental location to Fort Kochi and Lulu mall. Very clean and spacious rooms. Stayed in duplex suite.

Miinukset: Pool needs updating. Wife cut her leg on pool tiles. Pool staff was quick to respond and applied adequate care. Customer service is about a 3 to 4 star experience compared to other 5 star hotels.
