Fin de vacances à l'hôpital et j'ai quand même dû payer 170 € pour la chambre
Pros:

Très bonne situation à Fort Cochin.
Bâtiment magnifique avec un restaurant d'assez bonne qualité en bord de mer. Directeur très efficace

Cons:

Chambre gigantesque sans aucun attrait. Pas de lumière du jour, pas de lumière pour lire au lit. Salle de douche très récente mais pas ou mal finie... le crochet tombe par terre quand on attrape la serviette et surtout douche immense en marbre sans aucune sécurité au sol ce qui m'a valu une fracture du col du fémur .

Pretty but creepy man works there!
Pros:

Beautiful room, beautiful decor, well located

Cons:

A man who worked at the hotel restaurant was totally creepy to me. Repeatedly asked me my room number, asked if I was single, and offered to bring my check to my room. Very unprofessional. When i told the manager he tried to have me confront this man myself. Later he brought me fruit and said the guy didn’t speak English well so that was his excuse… he spoke English pretty well to me. It’s really a shame because the rest of the hotel was beautiful

We came away with bedbugs
Pros:

The room was lovely. But coming away with bedbugs ruined our experience of staying at this hotel.

Cons:

I need to warn people about the risk of getting bedbugs here. We stayed in room 113 and were bitten by bedbugs. Despite our best efforts we did not manage to get rid of them through our trip in India and have now brought them home and need to pay a large amount of money for treatment. We informed Martin at the time and we asked for a discount of one night as compensation. He checked with the manager, who said they would not do this. Of course, really they should be paying for the full cost of the treatment. Based on the response, I did not feel that the management took us seriously and I don't think that they will be treating the room. So be aware, if you come away from this hotel with lines of three incredibly itchy bites, it will cost you and you will not get reimbursed! Also to note, this was the first hotel of our trip to India so it was definitely here that we picked them up. I have attached photos of the bites, taken at the time.

A great place to stay…will revisit
Pros:

I stayed in the sea view suite.All the suites and the rooms are spacious and the view from each one of them is amazing(they did give me a tour of all rooms and the property which has lots of antiques for sale).Each one is unique.It is located very close to the synagogue.and is easily accessible.The owner and the staff were very polite and were able to ease out even the smallest of inconveniences.

Cons:

The Food!!!If you are a South Indian who has eaten Kerala food all through your life…you will know…

Really great heritage hotel
Pros:

Fantastic atmosphere and location in Jew Town. Great service from staff who were attentive. Food was very good. Room was really nice.
Martin in reception could not have been more helpful, ensuring we were comfortable and arranging our day trip on the backwaters. The owner, Manu, is passionate about ensuring his guests have the best stay possible.

Cons:

Nothing. After a month in India staying in many different standards of accommodation, this was a perfect end to our holiday.

מלון מצוין ברובע jew town , בקוצי
Pros:

מלון בוטיק משקיף לנהר , צמוד לחנות עתיקות . למעשה כל הריהוט במלון הוא מפריטי ריהוט עתיקים מכל רחבי אסיה . החל מהדלת , מיטת האפריון , התקרה ועוד.
קרוב מאד לבית הכנסת העתיק בקוצי

Wie im alten Indien
Pros:

Das Hotel erhält von uns die volle 10, einschl. dem Frühstücksservice im Restaurant welches um diese Uhrzeit augenscheinlich den Hotelgästen vorbehalten ist.

Das Frühstück war sehr gut und umfangreich. Zusätzliche Bestellungen immer möglich.

Cons:

Das Restaurant zu seinen "normalen" Öffnungszeiten. Wir sind nicht von der Kleider machen Leute Fraktion, wodurch wir am ersten Nachmittag kaum eines Blickes gewürdigt und "etwas" herablassend behandelt wurden.

Als die Kellner mitbekamen welches Zimmer wir hatten wurden wir am Abend äusserst zuvorkommend bedient.

Das Essen war o.k., mehr aber auch nicht. Teilweise lag vor allem im hinteren Bereich Müll etc. direkt unter den Tischen.

Optisch passt das Restaurant zum Hotel, qualitativ eher nicht.

Beautiful hotel in a good location
Pros:

Beautiful property within an antique shop. Rooms were fabulously decorated using antiques. High ceilings and great lighting. Located in Jewtown which is lovely. Only 100INR tuk tuk ride to the fort.

Cons:

There wasn’t any water available other than plastic bottles. Would be great if there was a large filtered water container on each floor.
