Stayed 3 nights and can thoroughly recommend. Older style hotel with lots of charm and character. Staff well trained and courteous, couldn't help enough. Management really thinking how to make your stay special, even lay on a free late afternoon boat trip across the harbour to Fort Kochi. Food in both restaurants was very good. Only 5 minutes walk from Ernakulam Ferry Jetty to Fort Kochi Would definitely come back if on anorther trip to Kochi.
