It was a wonderful stay, and we truly enjoyed the property, especially the beautiful surroundings and peaceful atmospher
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed the beautiful traditional Kerala architecture of the property. The entire place was exceptionally well maintained, clean, and very comfortable. The hospitality and customer service were outstanding, making our experience even more memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy an authentic and relaxing stay.

Cons:

I would also like to suggest conducting a proper inspection of the rooms before handing them over to guests. We experienced an issue with an electric lamp that had a short circuit, so ensuring all electrical fittings are checked for safety would greatly improve the guest experience. Additionally, having more food options on the menu would make the stay even better.

Pros:

Très bel endroit au coeur de la vieille ville de Cochin.
Personnel agréable et à l'écoute.
Chambre propre
Petit déjeuner copieux

Cons:

Ma chambre était dans le couloir, qui donnait sur les tables du restaurant, en RDC. L'endroit était donc malheureusement bruyant et surtout impossible d'ouvrir les rideaux car à la vue de tous.
Même si cela ne m'a pas posé de problème, j'ai noté qu'il manquait la TV

Dårlig service og uacceptable forhold
Pros:

Beliggenhed på Fort Kochi. Hvis man vælger dette overnatningssted, anbefales det kun at vælge hytterne ud til dammen, da de andre værelser vender ud mod en trafikeret vej.

Cons:

Allerede ved ankomst opstod der problemer, da vores værelse ikke var klar. De tidligere gæster havde ikke tjekket ud, og vi måtte vente ca. en time efter check-in tidspunktet, selvom de skulle have været ude fire timer før.
Vi brugte hotellets vaskeservice, men tøjet kom retur mere beskidt end ved aflevering. Vi klagede og ønskede ikke at betale for en service, der ikke var udført korrekt. Hotellet tilbød at vaske tøjet igen, men grundet mangelfuld kommunikation (mangel på engelsk) skete det aldrig, og de nægtede at bruge en anden udbyder. Billede er vedhæftet, som viser tøjet efter det kom retur sammenlignet med efter vask derhjemme.
Trods en aftale om halv betaling for vaskeservice, endte hotellet efter dialog mellem reception og ledelse med at opkræve fuld pris. Receptionisten forsøgte at finde en løsning med ledelsen, men forklarede, at en reduktion ville blive trukket fra hans løn. Det er helt uacceptabelt og uetisk at lægge det ansvar over på medarbejdere.
Vi observerede også rotter flere gange på området. Det blev meldt, men mødt med ligegyldighed, hvilket er bekymrende for et hotel med restauranter, som også er åbne for eksterne gæster. Derudover var der borebiller i døren, og hotellets dam medførte mange myg, hvor selv myggespray ikke hjalp.
Som Europæere, der har rejst i Indien mange gange og normalt oplever høj service og gæstfrihed, var det her markant under standard og helt uhørt.
Vi kontaktede også Booking.com, som forsøgte at mægle uden brugbar løsning.
Samlet set er det uacceptabelt at betale for en ikke-leveret service og samtidig opleve alvorlige hygiejneproblemer. Vi kan ikke anbefale dette hotel.

Pros:

Sehr empfehlenswertes Hotel im schönen Kolonialstil mit freundlichem und hilfsbereitem Personal. Eines der wenigen Hotels in Kochi, in dem Alkohol und kaltes Bier serviert werden. Unsere Villa war sehr sauber und komfortabel. Klare Empfehlung!
