I was looking for a hotel for a longer stay in order to recover from a long and tiring year. The Old Lighthouse Bristow is a piece of history and the opportunity to stay in a former British residence. It is clean, tidy and was exactly what I was looking for. I do like food! Breakfast had a small buffet selection together with a selection of freshly cooked hot options, such as omelettes and the chefs daily choice of Indian breakfast. Dinner is fine dining of a high standard and there is a wide selection of dishes which are excellent - as is the wine!. All the staff were polite and courteous. Most days started at the pool side after breakfast and then it was a five minute Tuktuk drive into Vasco de Gamma square or an excursion determined by the Tuktuk driver! There are Tuktuks outside the Hotel and the drivers are all friendly and will take you exactly where you want to go if you insist, but really prefer to give you a tour - go with the flow, it will cost you a few hundred Rupees or a few dollars are quite acceptable.

The Old Lighthouse Bristow Hotel is an absolutely stunning historic hotel in Fort Kochin. It is in a superb location within walking distance of the Chinese fishing nets and many local restaurants and beer halls. It is also just a short tuktuk ride away from many tourist destinations. The hotel is beautiful and you are greeted with fresh juice upon your arrival. The rooms exit out to overlook the ocean, which is beautiful for the evening sunsets.

This rustic hotel is situated in a great location in Fort Kochi. Most of the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Although the complimentary breakfast did not have a wide variety of selection, it is adequate and satisfying. The only negative points would be that the à la carte meal portions are quite meagre for dinner, given that you are paying for regular local prices for it. Also, the rooms and bathrooms have a noticeably pungent stench to them. It was hard to communicate with some staff members who do not speak much English. The wifi is unreliable because of the local weather which causes intermittent to extended internet disconnection. The hotel assisted us in organizing a backwater tour which we thoroughly enjoyed. The hotel also arranged for a driver to take us to Munnar.
Despite the few shortcomings, I would still recommend this hotel overall - it is worth it for the price and value considering the convenient location.

nice lobby and restaurant with good views over the sea but the rest of the hotel is shabby and in need of maintenance. the garden is badly maintained and sruffy so we didn't use it. there are broken tiles in the swimming pool. the swimming pool area is dirty and needs maintenance- i only used it on the first day because of this

Perhaps this is the worst hotel ever I have been occupied
Now mirror or dress change facilities
No coat hanger
No hot water
No courtesy to provide it unless informing change the tap direction towards left not even knowing that there is not even a single drop of water in this direction
Simply cheating by announcing and advertising WiFi is available it is not available inside the room when complained had a funny answer WiFi is available in the promises of the hotel
The receptionist does not know what is an inter com
Brocken toilet in room number 8
Very poor guests service

Rooms have not been cleaned in a while. If you'll stay for more than 1 night you'll die of Malaria, Dengue or Chikungunya. Rated as 4 Star hotel. Expedia should be ashamed of collaborating with such establishments and duping their customers. This is a third grade cheap lodge masquerading as a 4 star hotel.
Oh my god! Terrible experience.

Except for the proximity to the beach. This hotel has nothing to offer. The maintenance of the property is so bad. Fixtures in the bathrooms are loose. Bathrooms are dirty! Rooms have not been cleaned in a while. You will die with Dengue, Malaria or Chikungunya if you stay long. This is not a hotel. It is a road side shady lodge.

We had the "Sir Robert" suite with a marvellous view over the harbour entrance, doubt if we'd have enjoyed the place as much if we had a room without a balcony. The food is a bit uninspiring, suggest you dine out - plenty of good places within safe walking distance.

Our stay at the Bristo Lighthouse was for 3 nights at the end of a months travelling Sri Lanka and India celebrating my wife's 60th birthday. It was to be a treat.
Staff were lovely.
We were advised upon arrival that the superior room we had booked had a water problem and we were being put in another room for our first night and be given a complimentary dinner. I had been advised by email some 2 months earlier that there was a problem with the room I had booked and that we would be given another room for the first night with a complimentary dinner. It so happened that this was another problem and we had 2 complimentary dinners.
The first room was ok.
The 'superior ' room was lovely except that it was on the end of the building above the kitchen. The kitchen extractor fan 'hummmmed' and 'rumbled' until midnight and was then replaced with the cleaners crashing pots and pans and talking aloud till 2 or 3 in the morning.
The general outlook over the harbour was not very inspiring as one viewed over the broken glass on top a concrete wall and then across a littered gap to a final raised concrete walkway before the sea.
To see the sea you walk out the room into a glassed in hallway with coffee style table and chairs to sit and look out or use your computer. Not what we expected .
The staff couldn't of been more helpful and attentive and were lovely.
For the money paid we thought it fell short.

After 3 weeks touring SW India on a motorcycle this was a great place to unwind for a few days.
The staff were all very helpful, the restaurant overlooked the sea, where something was always happening, and the room was very comfortable.

Stayed at the hotel with my wife and child. The Hotel was under repairs. The restaurants were being renovated and the spa was not function. The Hotel made every effort to make our stay comfortable. They gave a free upgrade. The view and the location was excellent. They also arranged spa treatments from another location nearby. The pick up and drop off was already arranged. The food is decent a wee bit over priced as compared to others around them. There breakfast service was very slow. Apart from that the stay was good. The staff are just lovely and very very respectful and helpfull.

We had an excellent time at the Old Lighthouse. Great rooms, good food, lovely pool, great views overlooking the sea, goo staff with a better command of English than elsewhere we had stayed in Kerala, close to the main sites at Fort Kochi with local tuk tuk drivers waiting nearby ready to give you an excellent tour of the area (seriously good). Only minor downside was their Wifi was not great.

We stayed only a couple of days, but had the feeling as leaving our friends. The hotel is perfectly situated to visit Fort Kochin on one hand and to enjoy quiteness and a beach view on the other. The (indian) food is exeptional and our room was spacious and nice. If we should ever get close to Kochin, we will visit the Old Lighthouse again for sure.

the location of the hotel is superb just right on the beach. Food is excellent and service is very good. The only disappointment was the air condition was not working and even the pool was not ,maintained. On a hot and humid day you would deifinitely need these 2. so guys pls go when the climate is pleasant.
