The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Kochi Fort, within walking distance of all the main attractions and surrounded by lovely garden views. The rooms offer modern facilities with wooden floors, as shown in the online pictures, especially the upstairs bedroom, providing a comfortable stay. The service is top-notch, offering convenient amenities such as room service and shuttle services. However, the dining experience is limited with only fresh orange juice available, and the facilities could use some improvement.

The hotel is situated in a prime location at the center of town within walking distance of the beach, making it convenient for sightseeing in Cochin. The rooms boast an original design with relatively modern bathrooms. The service provided, including room service, car hire, and laundry, is top-notch. However, the dining experience is average, primarily in the public dining area. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel is perfectly located at the center of town within walking distance from the beach. The rooms feature an original design in the local style, providing a unique experience. The service is top-notch, but there are limited paid shuttle services available. The dining, although focused on serving fish, may not cater to all tastes. Overall, a great choice for those looking for a culturally immersive stay.
