Beautiful hotel with excellent staff and facilities. The restaurants serve delicious local dishes as well as international cuisine. The only downside is the area outside the hotel property, particularly near the ferry bay. It is beyond the control of the hotel but it is sad to see how the local government has ignored a naturally beautiful location to stray dogs, foul smelling garbage, poor drainage and abandoned public utility works etc.

One of my top ten hotels anywhere. World-class service and comfort with gracious staff. I will be back!

One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at! The room offered a stunning sea view, and the service was warm and attentive throughout our stay. The à la carte breakfast was delicious, with a wide range of fresh options. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like the welcome drinks and coconut hair flowers — a true example of excellent hospitality.

A good place to stay if you are visiting Fort Kochi.

The staff was exceptional. Always waiting to see what we need and how they can help. Our room was perfect and the bed was so comfortable we slept great!

This is a great hotel on the waterfront in Fort Kochi. It is a marvellous restoration of this old boatyard to create a very colonial feel. There are some nice touches to take advantage of such as high tea at 5pm each day followed by a guided tour of the harbour on the hotel’s very nice boat. All the staff were excellent but I give particular thanks to Arun who could not do enough for us. I was also highly impressed with the hotels very real efforts to eliminate the use of plastics an recycle anything they could.

This is a beautiful, relaxing luxury hotel in an excellent location for sightseeing in Fort Cochin. The hotel stay includes a number of complimentary activities to enrich your stay including an excellent early morning walking tour and a lovely narrated boat ride around the bay at sunset. The charming front office manager Mr. Arun Anthony narrated the boat tour and easily spoke about the history and cultures of this beautiful place. The food was excellent at the restaurants and the staff were gracious throughout the hotel. Do not hesitate to book your airport transportation through the hotel. The drivers are excellent and you are helped and escorted up to the airport security gate upon departure. The service is reasonably priced. Mr. Ashal was our escort through the airport and he was most helpful. A memorable hotel. Book an oceanview room to enjoy the sight of the container ships and fishing boats coming and going. This is also a very eco-conscious property. We highly recommend this property.

Our favorite place to stay by far. This was our fourth stay here. We like the fact that it only has a small number of rooms and has a boutique hotel feel to it. Its location is great. It is a short walk to ferries that one can take to Ernakulam thereby cutting down on travel time. The restaurants are excellent and there is no need to leave the property to find other dining options if one is not inclined to leave the place. The Armory restaurant with its outdoor seating area is our favorite and Vysakh and Fredy made sure to keep our glasses topped up and plates always full. There are many on site activities like the yoga session, history walk around Fort Kochi, high tea, evening boat cruise offered by the property and we have at one time or another made use of them.

Arriving we were not aware of the surrounding area. Lots to see and quite safe. Don’t be fooled…go for a walk and see more!

Lovely, well maintained hotel, pool and gardens . The staff committed , knowledgeable and friendly. Dinners in the History restaurant were without exception delicious, especially the First Class Railway Mutton Curry which was outstanding. These were preceded by a visit to the bar, over which knowledgeable barmen preside. All in all, a wonderful stay and the next door ferry was never a problem for us, indeed we think we will miss the throbbing motor which we found quite comforting.

We were greeted with flowers, a wet towel and juice. The staff was friendly and helpful. The area was close to local sites. Lots of seating if you can't go out and want to stay in the hotel. Pool was well maintained and beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great stay! Service staff is simply top notch. Very welcoming staff. Architecture of the building is astounding on how they have a recreated old world charm with new world amenities. Another highlight are the restaurants at the location. Overall we enjoyed the stay.

Wonderful hotel, great service. Helpful staff. Nice pool, the restaurant in the hotel was delicious. There are a lot of free activities inside the hotel.. cooking class, surest sailing, Joga.. We had a great experience.

Superior service at a beautiful hotel. The beds were extremely comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic and made to order with buffet-like options: fresh fruit, pastries, juice. The coffee was amazing.

Had historic pitures and objects nice water vIew. restraunt not the best we ate out second night instead but great resort for two night stay had free sunset crusie,that we enjoyed

This hotel is beautiful and any criticism I have of my stay is outside of the control of the hotel. It was late into the pandemic and the hotel did not have a liquor license, so there was no way to have wine with dinner. There were few other guests and no one coming to the restaurants, so it felt very deserted. If you are coming here for the area, note that it is quite far from the beach tourist area and in a fairly busy place. The only thing that I would change is to put larger area rugs and a more comfortable sofa in our room. We took the suite and it had mostly bare, tiled floors, which was surprisingly cold, seeing how hot it was outside. The staff at this hotel are lovely and eager to please. If I had to come back to this area, I would consider staying here again.

Amazing experience that is definitely recommended for someone who wants a taste of history and grandeur in this amazing city!

Its a very basic property With most sections closed We expected better

Beautiful historic hotel in an excellent location. We only wished we could have enjoyed the amenities as most were closed due to COVID-19
