    The nicest place we stayed in our whole India trip! The rooms are incredibly spacious, spotlessly clean and beautifully designed. 5 mins walk and you're in the heart of Fort Kochi but away from the noise. The breakfast provided was also delicious! The host was lovely and so helpful in arranging transport to our next stop. A boutique hotel experience without the big price tag - cannot reccomend enough!

    Excellent room with high ceilings and a spacious bathroom. Aesthetically pleasing design throughout the hotel. The courtyard pool was lovely. The morning heritage walk was really good. The breakfast buffet was the best I had during my trip to Kerala (out of 5 hotels). Easy parking. Great location for a little bit of shopping and walking around to see the sights in this part of Kochi. Welcoming staff who were flexible and patient. Generally the hotel ticked all the boxes for a boutique stay.

    The whole property is absolutely gorgeous with greenery. The rooms are designed to give you vintage Portuguese feels with hardwood floors, white walls & wooden furnishings. The staff is extremely polite. We got a free room upgrade to which I thank the main host💙 The stay houses a cafe which serves the best Kerala cuisine. Present in heart of Fort Kochi, this property gives you authentic Kerala vibes. You can walk through the entire Fort Kochi through here. And click some absolutely stunning pictures.
