Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room was a bit small, and the extra bed had a thin mattress. I also noticed some damaged walls in the room, which was a bit disappointing. However, the street noise could get a bit bothersome at times.
This hotel is a hidden gem! The rooms are beautifully decorated, clean, and super comfy. The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable. However, the dining options could use a bit more variety. The location is perfect for exploring Fort Kochi with easy access to all the local attractions.
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were tastefully decorated and spacious, providing all the amenities needed for a 5-star stay. The service was exceptional, with great people who couldn't do enough to help us. The location was excellent, just a short walk from historical landmarks and surrounded by picturesque streets. The dining options were varied and satisfying, offering both continental and local choices. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor drawbacks.
