My friend and I stayed here for 10 days towards the end of May and found it absolutely wonderful. Upon arrival we were greeted by a warm man who showed us our room which we were pleasantly surprised to have had upgraded. We stayed in one of the outer rooms which bordered the exquisite garden and pool. We were given a thorough explanation of our room and what was involved in our stay and some fresh coconut water. Each morning and evening we had two ladies come and make our bed with fresh jasmine scattered on top. We were given fresh water everyday also. After travelling around southern India, this was one of my favourite places for food. Their homemade jam for breakfast and fantastic Masala Dosas have me craving the food still now i'm back home. We stayed for dinner one night and it was wonderful, although pricey compared to other food places around Fort Cochin, it was clear why. As the fairy lights that surround the whole garden come on at night, the weekend musicians playing are a beautiful and romantic addition to a meal or drink. The pool was wonderfully relaxing and despite the fact that it is Asia, the westernised feel of the hotel makes it comfortable for you to wear bikinis. I noticed the daily attention that went into keeping the garden beautiful and vibrant as it was. There were lots of staff around and it gave it such a great friendly and safe feel. The free rooftop yoga was also a great bonus activity. I would certainly stay there again.

We stayed in a deluxe suite on the 3rd floor with balcony, the room was very spacious quiet and comfortable. All facilities worked well and our room was kept very clean and tidy - room service was very unobtrusive. This floor had the business centre (2PCs fax etc) with free internet and a small but helpful library. The room matched pictures on the internet. Staff were all polite and attentive and very pro active and keen to help answer any request. We needed a international power adapter which required trying several types. Loved the food, the in-house menu though small was always beautifully cooked. I recommend the Dosa for breakfast served with sambal it was both tasty and refreshing. We can also recommend the Old Harbour hotel restaurant next door - the Tuna tar tar is a must try. This hotel is very centrally located perfect for walking short distances to the tourist spots. Opposite is a large park, then the Chinese fishing nets. On the park corner is a tuk tuk station 30 rupee will take you most places in Kochi, Mantancherry & late night rides only slightly more. Drivers chosen by the hotel for airport and tours were honest. Collectively they drive intuitively a whole new perspective for us so hang on and go with it. We recommend a ferry ride to Ernakullum its much faster 20 minutes versus 1 hour plus drive. Get the driver to use the barge on your airport transfer its fun and faster. Seductively relaxing thanks to the staff who warmly welcomed us

Nice hotel, slightly out of the way, but good value, friendly staff and good justified our decision to stay here.

A fantastic, interesting and educational experience, of a part of the world usually run down by others. So many different places of interest to visit e.g. The Hills Palace, the main residence of the Maharaja's through the ages until India became independent. To experience a houseboat trip through the backwaters to see how the locals live and survive. To be able if wanted to visit a lot of different religious buildings - e.g. The Synagogue In Fort Kochi. To see millions of people go about their daily life at all levels

Beautiful setting way away from the city and crowds. A bit out of the way for those wanting to do things in the city but the hotel staff easily arranged taxis to get about. Food was excellent and the prices were reasonable. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They put on a lovely cultural show on Christmas evening with a buffet dinner. Take good bug repellent if you want to enjoy sitting outside to watch the sunset.

Wonderful location, friendly staff. Restaurant terrace had great seafood

Caring warm staff, quaint homely place with eclectic decor and crafts. Central to fort Kochi
