ゆっくりとできる海辺のホテル

雰囲気もよく、朝食もおいしかったです テラスから海も見え、波の音も聞こえる素敵なホテルです。 静かにゆっくりと過ごしたいときには最適なホテルです。 私は素敵な時間をホテルで過ごすことができました。 シャワーのお湯が温まらないのと、深夜にネズミではない大型の動物が天井裏を駆け回っている音が気になる方は注意です。

Clean, friendly staff, quiet hotel

Clean, centrally located, yet quiet hotel by the beachside. The building has a delightful architecture with helpful and friendly staff. The mattress could’ve been more comfortable but in the grand scheme of things it wasn’t a big issue. I even got a nice goodie back at my hotel check-in. Would definitely stay again if I’m back in the area.

The staff were very helpful and welcoming ti the property which was a converted dutch house. Rooms were snug but clean and comfortable. Mosquitos were a bit of a problem but they were treating this every day which helped a lot. Good selection of food for breakfast with some hot cooked fresh inclusing masala dosa and eggs (any preferred way). As we had an early flight home they packed us breakfast which was very kind. Use the hotel organksed spa for ayurvedic massage/facials which was great. Location was right in fort kochi so was convenient to walk around the area.

Good stay

This hotel was good—looks nice and rooms are nice. The staff is very helpful and very accommodating—even with our middle-of-the-night checkout/departure. The food menu is somewhat limited but that's not surprising given that it's a small place. Our bathroom had a bad sewage-type odor when we arrived but it seemed to have been fixed after housekeeping. I'd stay again.

Clean and comfortable stay in Fort Cochin

The room was very clean and spacious with a nice separate sitting area. The hotel is located quite close to the waterfront, and not too far from several shops and restaurants. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay here and would return again.

Great service

After two weeks of travelling through Tamil Nadu and Kerala, we ended our trip at Amritara, and were so happy we did. Very spacious rooms, comfortable beds and large bathrooms gave us the comfort we needed to wind down and prepare for long journeys home. The area is quiet and within easy walking distance to busier parts of the town. Breakfast was ok, but service was slow - fortunately we had leisurely morning for this, but it wouldn't work for those with less time. Service was wonderful from Nancy, who accommodated our late departing flight with a late check-out - being able to shower prior to heading to the airport made all the difference!

heritage hotel

We were expecting a more up market looking place but soon any disappointment faded - the location opposite the sea and next to the old dutch cemetery was easy, the breakfast was generous and good, the hotel staff were very kind and helpful. We had a room upgrade and were allowed a late checkout. I grew to really enjoy our room and verandah in this small heritage hotel. I'd check out the group's hotels in other locations. Thanks to the manager and staff.

Questa vecchia e suggestiva dimora é accogliente e lo staff è attentissimo e gentile, pronto a soddisfare ogni richiesta. La posizione è centrale ma silenziosa. Unico disagio: spazzatura che brucia sulla spiaggia, il fumo talvolta invade la piscina.

Great staff but otherwise disappointing

The hotel was not up to our expectations of a heritage hotel for the money we paid. The bed was not very comfortable, we thought we would get an inner spring mattress. You also had to let the shower run for 10mins before any warm water came through . The breakfast was also very average. The staff however were very friendly and welcoming and helpful with questions.

An Oasis, it was lovely, the staff were delightful, warm and friendly, polite and just couldn't do enough for you. I will never forget their warm friendly smiles. we loved the place so much we spent the last day of our travels in the pool garden before our flight home. we met some fellow travellers here and they ranged from young lone travellers to older couples touring, everybody enjoyed and relaxed. sitting around the pool was the best place to listen to other travel stories. lovely.
