Excellent séjour à Arches Hôtel que je recommande !
Pros:

L’hôtel est extrêmement bien situé à proximité immédiate des filets de pêche chinois, de la jetty pour rejoindre par ferry Fort Vypin ainsi qu’Ernakulam par le Water métro. Style colonial avec de très belles boiseries, les matériaux sont nobles et la chambre très bien équipée. Les lits sont immenses et la literie impeccable. Le personnel est d’une incroyable gentillesse. Le petit déjeuner servi sur le rooftop est un plus assez sympathique pour commencer la journée.

Lovely hotel in a great, historical location
Pros:

A beautiful old hotel right in the centre of Fort Kochi. The location was great, and the staff were super friendly. The rooms were of a good standard and had tea/coffee making facilities. The restaurant downstairs is also very good. Overall, a great stay.

Pros:

Right in the centre of Fort Cochin you can access all the main sites with ease. The hotel has a rustic feel to it, but the rooms are fresh, clean and have everything you need. The staff were friendly and replied to all my messages quickly prior to arrival. Would definitely stay here again.

A very enjoyable stay in the centre of Firt Kochi.
Pros:

The staff were all lovely and so helpful and caring. Nothing was too much trouble. Room was clean and comfortable and being able to leave fan on while I was out in the heat was a bonus.

Cons:

While the restaurant was excellent breakfast on the rooftop was disappointing. Very basic and limited choice although there was an egg station. Ordered a masala dosa one morning which was tasty.

A little gem
Pros:

Loved the location, the quietness yet in the centre side street. Close to everything. Lovely view from balcony rooms. Lovely view from terrace. Great terrace. Didn't get to sample breakfast as not open early enough. Great comfy beds.

Staff were wonderful, attentive & helpful warm & welcoming & friendly.

Cons:

We had a trip where we had to arrive at the travel agent by 8.30am & breakfast didn't start until 8ish which wasn't quite giving us enough time. They did try to be ready earlier but it didn't quite happen. Not many places seemed to open for breakfast before 9am!
