Great place to stay while you visit Kochi as it is in a good location close to the fishing nets/beach, restaurants and spice markets.
Rooms are clean and have good shower facilities and the breakfast provided was excellent with plenty of good food (continental or Keralan) available. There was always more food than I could eat so I was never left hungry :o)
We stayed here on arrival in Kochi and again before we left as we liked it so much. Definitely would recommend to people who have kids...

The staff are genuinely happy to help guests. Rarely seen & experienced this level of service. A special thank you to Mr. Vignesh who went out of all the way to help us find our medicine during the wee hours. Can't afford to miss out on the delicious food from the restaurant, the Chef made sure we've had priorities sorted. Rooms were extremely clean and the housekeeping girls made us feel homely. Loved the day we spent at the hotel.

Amazing welcome by Bernard. Warm, friendly and genuine. I booked a small, cheap room and was upgraded to a larger, more superior room at no extra cost. Bed was super comfortable. Bernard was so helpful - giving information on the are; booking taxi. Would certainly stay at Dream Catcher again when back in the area.
