Top Kochi Hotel Reviews

Tissa's Inn

Tissa's Inn

8/10 Good
"The property is beautiful and next to historic Port Kochi, and an auto driver gave us a quick tour of Jew town and the port in an hour. There was a young staff member who was like superman who was very helpful and did everything: very nice! The only reason for my 4 stars is the number of Hindu Gods in the main lobby and, worse, one in our bedroom that I found so hard to take that I had to cover it with a blanket Won't you consider changing that for the many Christians who may come to your lovely hotel? Thanks for considering my request!"
