Great location, comfortable stay

The location is great; just a bit off the main area of Fort Kochi, near the seafront walk. It is a bit more quiet but still close to restaurants and stores. The place is quite comfortable but is not luxe or ostentatious. The food at dinner was very good and traditional Kerala.

Hôtel situé à proximité des intérêts touristiques à voir à Cochin. Personnels accueillants et très aimables. En comparaison des autres hôtels durant notre séjour, meilleur petit déjeuner que nous ayons mangé. Les chambres sont propres, spacieuses, confortables. La piscine pour un pays où il fait 37° est un vrai plus. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié cet hôtel et n'avons aucun avis négatif à émettre.

מאכזב

תחזוקת המלון ירודה...מים נאספים במקלחת בגובה 5 סמ ומחלחלים רק כעבור שעתיים מה שגורם לשיטפון בכל המקלחת..דלתות היציאה למסדרון או למרפסת וגם זו של השרותים לא נסגרות אלא אם נועלים אותם..לא ממש חויה..!!
