Pros:

The welcome and the staff. The room itself is really a masterpiece combining antique furniture and fittings with modern air conditioning and facilities. Also, excellent restaurant with view to river. Walking distance to Jew Town sights. 5min tuktuk to Fort Kochi.

Cons:

Nothing to complain about.

Très bon emplacement. Restaurant sympa au bord de l’eau. Piscine et parties communes décevantes.
Pros:

Très bon emplacement au cœur d’un quartier touristique de Kochi. Le personnel est très à l’écoute et accueillant. Le restaurant est bon.

Cons:

La piscine est sommaire et pas très propre. Les alentours de la piscine ne font pas entretenus. L’hôtel ne dispose pas d’un endroit où boire un verre ou se reposer.

Romantic unique rooms which will make you feel
Pros:

We stayed in the presidential suite and it is even better than the photos. The room is huge and romantic and filled with antiques. A huge bed that feels like you are in a palace.
The owner and staff were so helpful and made us feel so welcome. Breakfast was delicious and you can watch the boats go by.
The bathroom is Hollywood glamour and has a very powerful shower.
We did not swim in the pool but it looked lovely.
If you are looking for a truly unique and luxurious stay - this is it!
Perfect for exploring Fort Kochi.

Cons:

Nothing - it was perfect

A unique experience in Fort Cochi
Pros:

A really special and unique place to stay in the heart of Jew Town, Fort Cochi. The staff here were amazing and we were made to feel particularly welcome by ‘marvellous Martin’ who couldn’t do enough for us. Room was luxurious and the little pool on the roof was a welcome addition. Great breakfast which was literally a ‘best of’ Keralan breakfasts in one go!

Cons:

Evening meal options in restaurant were relatively limited with too many of the local Kerala options served as complete meals rather than as separate items.
