Located in the colonial city of Fort Cochin, Tissa's Inn is housed in a mansion 1 km from Fort Cochin Beach and Chinese Fishing Nets. It offers an outdoor pool and massage services. Free parking is provided.

Tissa’s Inn is a lovely smaler hotel in a quiet street in central Fort Kochi within walking distance from the sights. The hotel is beautifully decorated with antiquities and the rooms nice and functional and everything spotlessly clean. And on the top roof there is a relaxing pool area. It is very well managed and the staff is very kind, efficient and helpful. They arranged a car with driver for us for a long round trip in Kerala, everything was perfect. We had a good communication with Sanitha about the car rental and other things, and she responds immediatly. We highly recommend Tissa’s Inn.

    One of the cleanest accommodation during our trip in India. We booked 2 AC rooms, the Standard room was big enough for 2 of us, the Budget one is really comfortable for 1, but can accommodate two. AC worked really well, bathrooms were really clean. Johnson& his family are lovely and welcoming. The prices for a day backwaters excursion and taxi transfer to airport were more than fair. The top floor terrace is great for hanging out in the evening. While the accommodation is in an alley, it's really well lit during the night.

    This beautiful boutique hotel is absolutely charming! The rooms were traditional but with a modern bathroom and good air conditioning. The communal areas offer plenty of places to sit and relax after a busy day exploring Cochin. Even the reception area is welcoming and serene. The bed was very comfortable (had an incredible sleep), the staff were very attentive and breakfast was delicious! Worth paying a bit extra for a room with a balcony.

    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!
