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!

Characterful hotel in centre of old Fort Kochi
Pros:

The building has good character, but the rooms are comfortable and spacious with a balcony to go out on and the bathroom was clean. Breakfast on the rooftop in the breeze is a treat. The staff welcomed us after a very long journey and had us quickly to our room which was very appreciated.

Lovely stay in nice area of Pondicherry
Pros:

Room was clean and relatively quiet. Beds were comfortable. The Indian restaurant downstairs was very nice. breakfast was basic but on a lovely balcony. Staff were very nice, efficient and helpful. Location was great

Cons:

Nothing really. I think the price /quality ratio was good. As i said breakfast was basic but this is S India and I think for the price you cannot expect much more
