When we arrived I had high expectations as a heritage hotel. However it didn’t live up, it was dated, dirty, no pool/relaxing area (the pics look like it has). The service was dire, I did complain as we didn’t get breakfast the 2 mornings we stayed due to abysmal service, even 2 cups of tea 49 mins came without milk then undrinkable. Trying to get a drink in the day was painful. Of all the 9 hotels we stayed in across India the other heritage hotels didn’t disappoint, this was a real let down and wouldn’t recommend at all. Ironically there look to be some beautiful hotels in Kochi sadly not this one.

When planning a three week trip to India, we were attracted by The Malabar House’s website featuring a stylish decor and Relais Chateau status. While it is a small but attractively designed and decorated property, we found our stay to be disappointing. The room was satisfactory - although we missed having a “real” closet for our clothes, only an exposed rack and two drawers were provided. We left many of our clothes in our suitcases on a bench in the room. The bathroom was commodious. However, the customer service left a LOT to be desired. Requests to housekeeping were not met without a second reminder. A dirty dish was not removed the next day during standard cleaning. Dining service was slow and disorganized. Our tea and coffee arrived…but it took 5 minutes to get the milk. The wine bar was open but deserted and clearly had not been bused from the night before. IMO the owner/manager needs to take a more hands on approach and provide better training to bring this hotel back to what I understand was a favorite Cochin property.

We only passed through this time, but it was our second visit and really enjoyed being back. A small pool which works find for a few lengths and a lovely room (1). It has a real sense of style and atmosphere with some interesting artisan pieces and curated artworks

I liked this hotel. Comfortable room and beds and a pretty court yard. The breakfast was very good and we also had dinner a couple of times. The chef has a light hand probing some lovely dishes and a good introduction to Keralan fish cookery. Fort Kochi is an easy going place to explore - would recommend a visit

The is a well run friendly hotel near all amenities in kochi fort area I think it was a former old bank The restaurant and bar area are within the enclosed courtyard Food was excellent The staff were friendly and attentive There is plenty to see around the area and a 2or3 night stay would be fine

This small hotel is the whole package! I am looking forward to returning. We enjoyed relaxing to the live sitar music in the charming courtyard after a day of exploring Kochi. We tried a couple of outside restaurants with good trip advisor reviews it none could match the hotel’s restaurant. The location in Fort Kochi was central to everything but on a quiet street. The young woman at the reception desk during the day was very, very helpful. She gave us info on activities, efficiently handled checked-in and check out and even organized a tailor to come the hotel in our last night and had my dress back to me by 8am the next morning!

A little gem of a hotel. The staff were absolutely lovely, especially Anne Marie on reception, nothing was too much trouble. Room was very pleasant, 2 balconies, one with a swing bed. Water and fresh fruit provided. Nice breakfast. Ate both evenings, highly recommend the prawn risotto. Didn't really enjoy the foot massage, not sure why we had to speak to a doctor first and a hard wooden bed was very uncomfortable.
