Wonderful & Conveniently Located Stay
Pros:

Very convenient location, we got the non-AC room and the owners had provided clean and good towels, bedsheets etc. for us.

The balcony is also so aesthetic with a flowering Bougainvillea branch right as you open the door.

Owners were so kind, arranged an ayurvedic massage for us on very short notice (told them on the morning of, and it was arranged by 1pm). Sweet and friendly. Will definitely be staying here the next time I'm in fort kochi area.

Cons:

Honestly nothing not to like. Some common areas like the kitchen on the 1st floor or the shelves of the cupboards could have used a dusting down before our coming, but we didn't have any use for it so I guess it makes sense why it wasn't dusted much. The areas we used (the actual room) were well cleaned, dustbins segregated, washroom wiped and dried. So I'd say it's a non-issue.

Pros:

I highly recommend Hornbill Inn! Host went above and beyond to help me with booking Tuktuk and accomodation for my next stop. He even checked if I got on my bus and arrived my next destination safely. I felt right at home. Room is nice as well with a balcony and option to have AC.

Location ans the price are the only reasons to stay there and if no other availability in Fort Kochi
Pros:

Basic room so price was in accordance. Good location to access the main points of interests and very good vegetarian restaurant named Prakruthi Eco World nearby.

Cons:

A/C is subject to extra INR 250 per night. The bathroom sink (wash basin) is outside the room. Every time you use the toilet you have to go out of the room same for brushing your teeth. Presence of insects (ants) crawling along the wall and in the 2 single beds and I didn’t bring any food in the room. Lack of cleaning
