great all round hotel”
We arrived around 3am which was a bit tricky getting hold of the hotel but the staff were welcoming. We had a great comfortable garden room with an outside shower room. The restaurant is well presented with a lovely menu. We had breakfast out by the pool. Breakfast was good with fresh juice and eggs to order. The swimming pool is really lovely with comfortable sun beds. Its perfect location and the staff were very helpful telling us about the dancing which was absolutely brilliant. Tuk tuks are easy to get and i also found a really nice yoga place within a few minutes walk. Highly recommend.

Beautiful heritage bungalow”
I had a great stay at the Tea Bungalow. Staff took excellent care of me. And I loved my room and the fact that I could go for a swim. The location in Fort Cochin is very convenient. I was disappointed that they advertise they have Wi-Fi, while in reality there wasn’t any that was usable for me. It meant I had to turn on my phone on international roaming, because I needed to stay in touch. I recommend this hotel, but if you want quiet don’t stay in the cheaper rooms by the road.

Nice and quite place”
Not enough staff. The cook is the same person managing the front office (or at least that is what we were told). The food was very ordinary. The interiors were nicely done and simple. Pleasant place to stay. But not good value for money. For 5K, we could have easily booked ourself in a 4 star hotel.

Great hotel experience in Fort Cochin!”
We loved our stay at the Tea Bungalow, which was our first hotel in India. The rooms are spacious and cool, providing an excellent escape from the heat of Kochi. It is within walking distance of historic Fort Cochin, and we even walked to Mattancherry from there (though we'd recommend a taxi or tuk-tuk after spending most of the morning walking!). Breakfast by the pool every morning was luxurious. It included tea or coffee, eggs, and fresh fruit. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. They always had cold water for us (we found out at checkout that we were being charged for these waters, which is only fair). The room was cleaned every day. The bed was large and relatively comfortable. The bathroom was very spacious. With both air conditioning and a fan, we had complete control over the room's temperature. And because the bungalow is relatively spread out, it is a very quiet, secluded experience. We highly recommend the Tea Bungalow for a stay in Fort Cochin!

Perfect place for a getaway, clean & quiet ”
This is my second trip to the Tea Bungalow, and it was just as comfortable. Our stay was very comforting, right from the begining till the time we checked out. The mangement, restraunt and ground staff were very accomondating, pleasant and well mannered. We had shuttle service organized from the airport, considering we arrived past midnight. We were provided light food and refreshments although it was way past the operating hours of the kitchen (upon earlier request) The breakfast was delightfull, especially with authentic local dishes, and upon special request they served us food not listed on the menu too. The check in was a breeze, and the rooms were very clean, comfortable and spacious with all the modern facilities. The resort itself is a Heritage building, well restored with Portugese and British influence, charming, spacious with lush green surroundings located amongst historical monuments with various intriguing sights and shopping areas in the vicinity of Fort Cochin. The resort organized a tour bus for us to visit a temple in particular, and further on for a sightseeing trip and shopping venues. Public transport is very convenient around Fort Cochin, especially if one is to hop onto the 'Auto Rickshaw' and buzz around. Three cheers to the management & staff at the front desk, restraunt, room service, bell boys and the security staff too. I am still reminacing of my trip and stay at the 'Tea Bungalow' We will be back!

Great hotel”
We only stayed for one night at the Tea Bungalow but really enjoyed it. The room was spotless and tastefully furnished, the bed was really comfortable, and the bathroom was a joy with a large, powerful hot shower. The outside area was cute,and the pool was nice to cool off in, although there were quite a few flies in it when we were there. The dinner as really nice, although not cheap, and they prepared a packed breakfast for us in the morning as we had to leave early, which was really helpful. I would stay there again if we ever go back to Kochi.

A Peaceful Oasis”
I only stayed one night, and I loved it! A delightful room with surprisingly good bathroom and confort level. Everything in the hotel was immaculate. The peace of the garden and pool area were just what I wanted and needed. The pool was clean and water felt almost body temperature on this hot April day. Perfect. Staff were attentive and helpful, obliged me by making a drink not on their menu, yet readily available most everywhere else in Forr Kochi so I suggested they add it to theirs. It’s a pity the consumption of chilled soda drinks has become so prevalent in India these days! Food was tasty and freshly prepared. A very limited Vegetarian selection though, only 4 choices on the menu which surprises me too. But Kerala seems to be less Vegetarian oriented than the rest of India. Overall I really enjoyed my stay here, and would love to return one day.

Cozy and Convenient ”
We loved the Tea Bungalow. It's a restored house or mansion and they did an incredible job restoring it and turning it into a hotel. When we arrived the staff was quite friendly and gave us the most delicious watermelon juice while we were waiting. I knew then that this was going to be a great hotel. Our room was huge and the decor and atmosphere was among some of the best I've ever experienced in India. The bathroom was also clean and spacious. The staff was friendly and knowledge about Ft. Cochin and answered any questions we had. The hotel is within walking distance of many of the main sites in Ft. Cochin such as the Chinese fishing nets and the shopping area. Every morning we had breakfast which consisted of fresh fruits and eggs or an omelette, coffee and juice. We also ate dinner there a couple of nights and the dinner was also quite good and was a bit more varied than the breakfast, but I am certainly not complaining about the breakfast. We didn't have a chance to use the pool because it was raining a lot while we were there, but it looked nice. The staff also let me use the computer (for free) to print out our plane tickets and I thought that was quite kind. The receptionist also ordered a taxi for our trip to the airport, which was helpful. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would absolutely stay here again. I can't say enough good things about this hotel.

Wonderful place to stay”
We stayed at Tea Bungalow for a couple of nights while in Forte Cochin. It was such a lovely and restful place to stay, after the busy streets. The staff were so lovely and friendly. The rooms were clean and well serviced. The matresses were a little firm for my liking, but first world problems right. I would highly recommend this place to stay and if you can order a tuk tuk and ask them to take you to see the street art in the area, well worth doing.

A peaceful oasis in Fort Kochi”
Had a delightful and relaxing three night stay in this small, elegant, boutique hotel at the end of 5 weeks touring India. The most enjoyable hotel stay of the entire vacation. The staff are friendly, helpful and attentive. The room we stayed in was beautifully appointed, 5 star worthy and immaculately clean. The pool and patio area were a wonderful escape from the mid-day heat. Even the food from the small kitchen was great. I have no hesitation recommending the Tea Bungalow.

Lovely heritage place with excellent staff”
We stayed for 4 nights with our teenage daughters and found Tea Bungalow to be a lovely place to stay for the price. The pool area is relaxing and nicely shaded. Breakfast the normal Indian fare - fruits & a choice of eggs. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the beds a little on the hard side, but I don’t mind that. Also a massive mention for everyone who worked there, they were all so friendly and helpful!

Beautiful, modern hotel in Fort Cochi”
We stayed at the Tea Bungalow for 4 nights in December, the room was the perfect size and looked as though it had recently been decorated (lovely bathroom!). The staff were really attentive and helped us book a few day trips whilst we were there. The food was lovely, however the evening meals tended to cater for a European taste. However there are lots of other restaurants nearby so it wasn't an issue. There is a pool area, but it is quite shaded and overtaken by the birds. We headed over to nearby Vypin island beach when we wanted to chill out in the sunshine!

Good off season deal”
It was relatively quiet when I visited Fort Cochin so lots of deals. I wouldn't be able to afford this during the high season so it was lovely to get to stay with a deal. The pool is wonderful. The staff very accommodating and were very generous to me during their Onam celebrations (these take over the whole city!). I found the food delicious and the room very comfortable. I hope I can stay again.

Don't expect to be able to sleep”
Although Fort Kochi is noisy as it is, thanks to the mosques, having the reception desk less than 5 metres from your pillow and unsealed floors means that a good night's rest is definitely not going to happen here.

Lovely boutique hotel with good service”
This was the last hotel we stayed at on our Kerala vacation, and it was a pleasant surprise when we got there. It's a converted trading bungalow which has 10 rooms, a large dining room, a large common room, and pool. Very pleasant and well maintained, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
