Excellent stay in off season
Pros:

Great hotel! Very accomodating staff from the get go. I arrived at 5am and they were all awake and available for my arrival. Anything I required they had sorted. Breakfast was a mix of traditional and continental buffet and fresh cook to order which was incredible. I had a balcony which wasn’t garden facing and I almost preferred this as it was more private. Price matches the quality. Many have noted ‘outdated’ rooms but I actually just think this is traditional style rather than outdated. Air con in the room remains on when you remove the key from the slot to turn lights on. Great location, walkable to everywhere but away enough from the hustle and bustle of princess street. The tuktuk tour they arranged was perfect!

Cons:

מלון 4 כוכבים שמתנהג כמו 5 כוכבים. מיקום נפלא. שירות אדיב
Pros:

הכל נקי וידידותי לסביבה
הצוות יוצא מגידרו לעזור אחד סבלני ואדיב
השף באופן אישי דאג להוציא לי מנות מותאמות ללא גלוטן וללא סוכר עם התאמות לכשרות
למרות שהחדר היה צמוד לקבלה היה שקט מופתי בלי הפרעות
כללו בהזמנה גם 2 סיורים חינם. אחד רגלי להיכרות עם הרובע ואחד על טוקטוק.

Cons:

כלום. מושלם !
חשבתי שזה כולל שאטל לשדה תעופה הלוך ושוב. אבל לא, סידרו לי מונית נהדרת בתשלום שהיה מעט יקר יותר מהובר

Great hotel in a perfect location.
Pros:

The hotel is in an ideal location in the old town of Fort Kochi. All the attractions are easily reachable by foot, and there are lots of restaurants and even a Kathakali show nearby. The price of the hotel included a 2 hour Tuc Tuc drive and a guided morning walk, which were both great. The room was spacious and clean. The Buffet breakfast was great with a good choice (the only thing I missed was Muesli). Free afternoon tea/coffee. Good selection of food for dinner. The kitchen can on request prepare the dishes with less or no chili for sensitive stomachs.😋 The biggest asset is probably the staff: always friendly and helpful.

Cons:

What I found slightly confusing was that there were several multi-gang switches in the room, but without indications which switch is for what. So I had to "play piano" every time to put on what I needed.

Gem of a place ✨️
Pros:

Really loved our stay, as the property came above our expectation including the location.
The other standout was the "Service, warm,friendly, attentive and caring staff personals from the security, the front check in reception, the restaurant and house keeping all talented professional and helpful" that made our stay comfortable.
We were glad that we selected to stay at this property and experience the hospitality of a well run hotel.
Would definitely recommend the property.
