Best hotel ever!!!
Pros:

One of the world’s best hotels!!! The staff is AMAZING! The rooms are fantastic, the pool is lovely. Don’t forget to have an Ayurvedic massage! The chef is extremely talented: I recommend alleppey fish curry, beef fry with coconut, and stew with appam. Again: the staff is extraordinarily friendly, kind, and caring. Their attention to detail, the way they take such care of the guests is unparalleled.

It was great! One of the best five star experience I have had !
Pros:

We had an issue with the room but the hotel staff went out of their way to accommodate as a five star should! Shout out to the manager for his kindness and courtesy

Cons:

The rooms size should have been slightly bigger for the price and the toilets in the property outside of thr room are too simple for a five star

Meemorable getaway
Pros:

It was a wonderful trip. The front desk, housekeeping staff and the chefs were remarkably helpful. They made sure we felt comfortable at every step. The rooms are spacious and clean. The location of this hotel is the highlight, so much so that you find people clicking pictures outside this hotel. The amenities were good, and they were extremely careful about the safety and hygiene for the baby.

Eleganc, Tradition and Friendliness in the heart of Fort Kochi
Pros:

This is an exceptionally good hotel in the heart of Fort Kochi! The location itself in one of the most important streets of old Fort Kochi (the oldest part of town) is magnificient. Not only the beach/ seaside but also many other attractions of Fort Kochi (Vasco da Gama church etc.) are just a short walk away. The reception on our arrival - though we arrived actually early in the morning - was very friendly. The whole building has a carefully preserved old world charme, which includes tasteful decoration with wooden interior etc.. The preservation of the old (jewish) bath in the atrium is an additional attraction.
Coming to the staff I must say that we were everywhere met with utmost friendliness. The front-desk was helpful in organizing a backwater-tour. The housekeeping put a smile on all our faces by arranging the towels similar to my little sons little teddy-pig. Restaurant-staff was always helpful, the chef came to our table to inquire for special wishes. The food in the "jetty-Restaurant" (dinner a la carte) is very good and the breakfast-buffet, too.
I would strongly recommend the "heritage walk" in the morning, we had a very knowledgeable guide ("Rajesh") who literally knew not only every building in Fort Kochi but - as it seemed to us - also every person.
To sum it up: this hotel can only be very strongly recommended for anyone who wants to get a feel for Kochi.

Pros:

È un hotel di piccole dimensioni, curato in ogni dettaglio dell'accoglienza al cibo, dalle camere alla zona piscina; ben allestita anche l'area Massaggi.
Personale gentilissimo disponibile, sorridente.
Situato in un'area urbana, nucleo storico del periodo coloniale, con piccole vie, visitabili a piedi o in tuctuc. L'hotel ogni mattina offre una visita guidata a piedi, nei dintorni.
