Felt like a home with a personal touch.
Pros:

The old world charm and thoughtful art and design interventions.

Cons:

WiFi was really awful which required one to move around to different venues within the property to catch a signal. The pool could have been bigger and more useable .

We loved our stay and didn’t want to leave: in particular, the staff were amazing and ever helpful.
Pros:

Breakfast amazing.
Pool area great.
Music in the evening enchanting.

Cons:

The only comment - and only to be hyper critical - would be that perhaps the bathroom needs a touch up.
Otherwise this was an amazing place to stay. We loved it. Location is perfect.

Terribly Managed Hotel
Pros:

This is one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at - it is badly managed and they can't even seem to get their reservations right! I would never stay there again.

Could have been better.
Pros:

The location, ambience & the art. Food was ok. Staff served with a smile.

Cons:

The reception on arrival. The iron provided was leaking. The washrooms need to be cleaner. The swimming pool was a let down. A request for the history of the hotel/building could not be met. The manager directed for it to downloaded & provided but that did not happen. THE MATTRESS WAS LUMPY & UNCOMFORTABLE. The plugs need to be dual type so as to be compatible with both round & flat pin type chargers. A succinct history of the town & fort area would have been helpful.

Great location.pretty and clean hotel
Pros:

A very handy location for walking Kochi We had a very late check-in due to our flight so didn’t get to enjoy the pretty pool and loungers. A nice little cafe though for a spot of breakfast. Very friendly English speaking staff members.

Cons:

We stayed in the king room with a balcony. The stairs might be a problem for young children or unsteady seniors.
