Old Charm beside the waves”
It was a wonderful stay with super courteous staff and best location in fort kochi. Food is tasty although don't expect a big spread. Buffet is provided based on the occupancy. Any problems with room and their staff is at your service to help. Open your room door and you can see the ocean waves hitting the property walls. Seats are provided in the lobby to enjoy the view. All the attractions are in vicinity of 1-2km and walkable. You can also take an auto for 40-50rs for short trips or 300rs for 2hr sight seeing, from autos outside the hotel.

It's good but not as expected”
Our room was in the ground floor with a view to sea from the door. But their restaurant table placed and packed from lunch time to night. Might be because of weekends. Breakfast was alacarte with limited menu but was delicious and service was very good. Room was spacious, clean and tidy.

Good with room for improvement”
Occupied 2 rooms during our stay. The location and staff attitude deserves full points. However, the building is old and maintenance could have been better particularly the bathrooms and a/c was leaking. Had to specifically ask for items in the room which was not refreshed even as we checked in. But upon request, these were provided promptly! The breakfast included in the deal is a sham. One expects a buffet option. However only one dish was available each day with no options (even bread or egg was not available as an alternative on the 1st day). If one is looking for an experience of staying at an OLD lighthouse...that is exactly what you will get :) Decide for yourselves if the money you are paying is worth it.

Very good”
Not really a resort to choose for that price. Its good to stay if you visit with friends . But for a family you dont have much activities or luxury to enjoy. And the restaurant is crowded in the eve as Beer 🍻 and sea view is nice. But you wont enjoy the privacy as inherent guest

Seaside hotel but needs improvement ”
We stayed here for 3 days, and had a decent stay by and large. But for early arrival, you have to pay 500 INR per hour. We did that and were upgraded to a deluxe room because our garden rooms were under maintenance. The same night, we were requested by the manager to change the room because a different guest wanted twin beds, which we refused. The balcony view of the sea is the gorgeous and the cafe downstairs is chill for beers. But the overall cleanliness of the room and pools needs to be better. Also, the mosquito situation is really bad, so be careful

Lovely place but needs cleaning ”
We took the sea view room which was their highest category. The room was very nice but bathroom was filthy. The pot seat broken and had grime on it. The breakfast was quite sad. I felt if the we had taken a much cheaper room we would have been ok. It’s just that when you pay 10000/- per night you are expecting a standard that it did not meet.

Best to avoid it”
I stayed at this place about 6 years back and it was nothing but perfect. Not sure what happened ( maybe management changed) but it’s so sad to see what has become of this place, which has so much potential. The room and bathroom was rife with mosquitoes ; soap quality was so bad that it wouldn’t lather / foam at ALL; towel looked dirty so we asked for fresh clean towels but we didn’t get it so we had to keep calling them to send it over. Breakfast was just sad ( tea was lukewarm and coffee was of substandard quality). Gave the room key to the reception hoping they’ll clean the room BUT after coming back to the hotel we realized it was not cleaned. Upon inquiring, they said they don’t clean the room unless we tell them.. so it’s our responsibility to remind them on a daily basis. There’s no hot water in the bathroom.

Less than average service”
No trained staff. Complementary breakfast is meager and do not hold good with a good status hotel and the tariff they charge. No hot water supply in the bathroom.

Mosquito ridden with very poor customer service”
The location of the property is beautiful, but the rooms had too many mosquitos to the extent that every morning we would wake up with tons of mosquito bites. The staff was very unresponsive and generally not helpful. The prices were close to a 4 star hotel but the experience was a 2 star one . Disappointed

Stay away!!”
First they gave us a small room saying the room on Agoda profile that we booked did not exist. Then shifted us to a pool villa with no electricity or hot water that took two hours to set up-- did not offer any free welcome drink, the food was terrible-- oily and fried, breakfast bland and cold. Very slow service-- had to ask two three times for basic things like bottled water or blankets. Charged us Rs.2500 for airport pick up..on the website it was Rs. 1600. Wanted Rs. 9000 for a taxi to Kovalam..we paid rs. 5200 on Uber. Poor overall.. Would definitely NOT recommend.

calm, relaxing”
We stayed at Old Bristow Lighthouse for 4 days . The room was large and comfortable with nice amenities (desk, mini fridge, kettle).But the plugs were in odd locations so not so convenient to use the desk. The windows in the room faced the front (they are called "garden view" but there isn't much of a garden). Still it was nice and would have been better if the windows had mosquito netting on it. As it was we could not keep the windows open or really appreciate the lovely ocean breeze as there were no windows on the ocean side. The bathroom is large also with lots of amenities (toiletries including toothbrush and paste). But several things were missing (the belt to the bathroom) or broken (the soap dispenser pump), and so one had to ask for them from the hotel staff. The latter were happy to oblige but my spouse says the hotel is a kind of "you have to ask for it" kind of place. The sofas and tables in the area overlooking the ocean were a lovely place to sit. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would stay there again if we returned to Fort Kochi. The hotel needs a little more TLC and perhaps some better management of space so that one does not have to see the house keeping areas at all times. But then I think the hotel rates would go up.

Delightful hotel in seafront location”
We could not have been more pleased with the Old LightHouse Hotel, Cochin. Dolphins play in the sea while you have breakfast on the dining terrace and the refreshing swimming pool is a real treat in the centre of the Fort Cochin area. The staff could not have been more charming and helpful in this small boutique hotel occupying the historic home of Sir Robert Bristow, Victorian engineer of Cochin. The food is delicious, and wine and beer is available. They even prepared a surprise birthday cake and present for my husband having seen it was his birthday in his passport!
