We stayed at Tissa's for 3 nights and it was so memorable. The three women who work the front desk are incredibly kind and helped us with whatever we needed (transportation, walking tour, laundry, massage, etc.). The chef makes delicious Keralan food (particularly liked his fresh caught fish - tell him ahead of time!). Breakfast in particular was delicious - always with a new Keralan option and a continental option.
The location was good - a few minutes away from the busy tourist area and in a more local community, but still close to everything.
Our only real issue is that the WiFi does not carry over to the rooms, although it's accessible from the common area right next door. We ended up hotspotting, when needed.
We would absolutely stay there again!
