Find hotels in Chinese Fishing Nets

We were a family of 4 (2 adults& 2 kids aged 17 & 8). We booked in for a stay at the property for 4 days. We decided that it would be best to have 2 rooms so that we could ensure a relaxed stay. Our only request at the time of booking was that the rooms be preferably interconnected..was given due preference. We were in fact looking forward to a nice unwinding stay at FNR. The property is located in Fort Koch which is a cool 15km away from the bustle of Ernakulam town. Fort Kochi is famed for a number of tourist attractions and this property is within acceptable distance from themajor attractions like theJewish synagogue, Jew town, the old palace museum, Chinese fishing nets, lots of quaint shops that sell antiques etc. If you prefer to shop a lot, it may be better to stay in Ernakulam town.. It is a sort of a boutique hotel, aged but maintained very well boasting good views of the Bay. Good rooms, good restaurants complimented by excellent and thoroughly professional staff.

I loved everything about Tissa's, walking distance to everything as its central, five minutes from Kathakali, ten minutes from beach and fishing nets, and half an hour to Jew Town (although you might rather get a tuktuk if it's very hot!). The rooms are spacious, bathrooms super-clean and modern, and the lighting good, which is not the case in some Indian hotels. The rooftop is a wonderful place to sit and read with pretty pool. The staff are really six star, nothing is too much trouble, and the restaurant first class. Highly recommended.

Booked 2 nights at Malabar house as part of south India tour. Lovely setting with tree covered courtyards in central fort kochin. Excellent birthday dinner for my partner with plenty of fish and veggie options and a cake on the house! Comfortable rooms with excellent facilities. Thought the swimming pool was rather small for a hotel of this standard. Overall I recommend this hotel. Staff were all very helpful and provided taxi driver with good local knowledge and who spoke excellent English for your of the area.

I have nothing to complain even how hard I try to think of something. The hotel, the staffs, pool, facilities are simply superb. Worth every penny. Choices for breakfast is limited but the food was extremely delicious. I tried almost all options they had on menu. Room is beautiful, pool is small but perfect for a quiet getaway. Its at a beautiful spot in Fort Kochi. The only drawback was that, the city seems far away... far far away and it takes 45 mins to an hour to reach via ferry or by road. Its a must stay place. Simply the best that I have ever stayed in Kerala!

Our last night in Kerala. We booked a deluxe room. The hotel has character being about 200 yrs old and a former court House. Everything is nice about the hotel. The room, bathroom. The best part of the hotel were it's staff - terrific. But we did not realise the hotel lacked the following: 1. No views. The windows are blocked by a wall. Therefore black out curtains present rather than windows with a view. Very claustrophobic. The staff were very good enough to move us to a higher floor that had a partial blocked view. 2. No spa or Ayurveda in house. 3. No alcohol or bar In my view all the above are requirements of a good hotel. I think the hotel should be honest and inform bookers of its restrictions.

My stay was excellent from beginning till the end. The staff were caring, food was excellent, design of the property is elegant and refined. Apart from the fact that the basic rooms are a bit undersized and not well soundproof, everything was excellent. However, the price charged for the room and the food is excessive for India. Even if the quality is top notch and it is high season, I felt a bit frustrated to be charged 5 star rates for a property which is 4 star and not even licenced.

For a Budgeted Traveller : Best place to stay in Kochi. For the price i paid for a room was the best deal in my trip. I booked Starndard Double Bedroom Suite for 1250/- per night. My Stay was for 3 nights. Its a service apartment - 3 star hotel, located in a Residential Area, So dont expect an amazing view from your Window. Safe and comfortable. The reception staff was hospitable and the property manager Mr Ravi was very helpful. Ample space for covered Car parking Lift facility The place is active at night till 11 pm with all shops/restaurants opened. If you want to enjoy clubbing, there is a place called 'CLUB 18 Degree at Hotel no.18'.Its hardly 1 km from Phil's. Overall a very good experience and would recommend the place.

This is a small, boutique style hotel in the backstreets of Mattancherry, Fort Kochi. It is a few minutes walks from the interesting tourist/craft shops and a tuk tuk ride (or longer walk) to the Chinese Fishing Nets of Fort Koch where there are also good restaurants, cafes and spice shops. The hotel is exceptionally clean, with efficient and friendly staff. Breakfast is simple but adequate with good tea and coffee. Wi-Fi is good in the lobby, a bit weaker in the rooms. A pleasant and interesting stay for a few nights. Try visiting the town commercial dhobi (laundry), a fascinating and unusual place to visit.

Browsing through the streets of fort kochi, you are suddenly greeted by a differently pleasant looking entrance and your world just changes! The view is awesome, every single piece in the place looks carefully chosen and you could spend hours just thinking about how the place was made. To top it their excellent staff, great food, super clean rooms..... it has been my best experience ever In a Hotel

Our tuktuk driver had trouble finding hotel from train station. Down a small alley behind 18 Hotel. The room was very good. Comfortable bed. Flatscreen TV. Nice bathroom. Manager helpful when I booked 2 rooms at our next hotel instead of 1. Booked us a tuktuk to do some shopping. ask for Aslam. He was great. Breakfast was good. All staff friendly and helpful. Location great. Near restaurants, ferry, market, Chinese fishing nets.

First of all let me tell u how I feel for the very first arriving. The owners welcome me with a smile and their service is the best ever. They treat me like a family and the hotel is in a good location. One minute walk from the last airport bus stop. The hotel facilities are perfect, the air con, TV, hot water shower. All perfect. The rooftop restaurant has various choices. I love all here. Thx for making me a perfect trip in India. Everything’s beyond my expectations, really!! I will definitely come back next time.

We simply loved this place. A great find just a 3 min walk to the famous Chinese fishing nets in Fort Kochi. The hotel is well preserved and charming and even though it is in a busy location, the hotel exudes quiet. The room (superior ground level) was large, beautifully decorated and very comfortable (including the bed). What makes this property so special is the staff. Every person without exception treated us like favorite family members. Breakfast (included in our room rate) was delicious (the masala dosa a must have) but the dinners - wow! The food was fantastic (curries, fresh fish, veg dishes) and so inexpensive (they can easily raise the price and no one would blink an eye) so we ate here 2 of the 3 nights we stayed. This is by far the best place to stay in the area. I recommend it highly and without reservation.

It was exceptionally good for value in terms of location, service and room size! I was very pleased with the distance from the Chinese fishing nets...and local tour guides/taxis. Opposite the place is a Masjod which was perfct as we are Muslim - and there were Womens facilities too!! Bonus! There is also a theatre across the road which had a traditional play on. Wasn't too much my cup of tea- the whole traditional look is nightmare-esque. I feel like if I came with kids, they would've been frghtened. But its interesting, a part of the culture and not very expensive. Hotel service was great, the employees were friendly and helpful. i would stay there again without question.

a good hotel called abad hotel! a large room, very clean with a huge comfortable bed – clean sheets and towels. the bathroom was ‘tired’ but clean, wet room style with shower curtain and plenty of hot water at all times. good aircon and a fridge. you can purchase wifi for use in your room. breakfast was eggs, pineapple juice, ceriel, tea/coffee – the usual! the staff are lovely, so friendly and helpful. this hotel is not actually in fort cochin but a good half hour walk – lots of life to see and enjoy on the way – to the spice area – great to breathe in the aromas on the way and a tuktuk ride to the chinese cantolevered fishing nets and main restaurant area. ) each way. we didn’t see any restaurants around the hotel area but the hotel has a nice one – and for the price of the rooms it is fine to get a tuktuk into the main part. we would recommend this hotel, we enjoyed our four nights there. try and see the show just down the road from the fishing nets on the right – a traditional show and unintentionally funny!

Peaceful, pleasant hotel with friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Excellent location, only a few minutes walk to the shore and the Chinese fishing nets, as well as many restaurants. Staff were helpful and supplied a packed breakfast as well as booking a taxi to the airport when I was checking out at 5am. Breakfast was fine, nothing spectacular, but served on the very pleasant covered roof terrace. They don't have a license due to being so close to the church, but they are OK with you bringing in drinks from outside if you want. (At the time of writing the alcohol licensing situation in Kerala is all in flux anyway.)

we stayed at this hotel for one night as part of our kerala trip. this is not really like other hotels that we have stayed in kerala. the hotel still gives the feelings of the colonial past. the decoration and the furniture’s are kind of unique and not found in other hotels. if you are fond of historical past then you will like this place. if you are looking for a modern hotel then this is not the hotel for you. the front desk is nothing but a desk and couple chairs but the people are friendly. they allocated a large room for us. the bathroom was nice as well. the breakfast was served in the lawn. i wish the quantity of the breakfast was slightly better. we like big breakfast which keeps us going for the day. please be aware there are mosquitoes in the lawn. which is the only thing disturb our peace. the hotel is ideally located near sightseeing places. if you like fish then there is a fish market near the seaside where you can buy your choice of fish and the local restaurants will cook the fishes for you.

Had a comfortable stay, with great restaurants near by. We specially enjoyed the Oceanos restaurant next door and Dal Roti around the corner. Major sights like the fishing nets were a short walking distance and the surrounding streets were nice and quiet for taking in the sights ( a great change from the motorbikes which can drive you crazy in some Indian towns). A tuk-tuk ride to Jew town is highly recommended !
