Perfectly situated in Fort Kochi - Judy is the perfect hostess - a radiant woman with a big smile, and a genuine personality - she makes a great breakfast with plenty of local coffee to your desired strength - entitled colonialists are not welcome - if you are an open and spiritual person with your heart in the right place, you will be - and that is the way it should be - all the sites are close by within a minute or two to walk, and the best restaurants too - Judy’s wi-fi is high speed and she has spent a lot on it - no problems with internet here. The rooms are large, airy, and spacious, everything is clean, the beds are large enough to accommodate the Dutch, the correct balance of comfortable yet perfect for the spine...highly recommended.
This spotlessly clean guesthouse is a haven from the heat and dust of Cochin. I' had traveled in the north and arrived by overnight train quite exhausted and was so heppy to find this cool, quiet, comfortable place. The owner, Judy, is helpful and friendly. She will leave you alone if that is what you want, but I enjoyed our morning chats and learned a lot from her. Breakfast is excellent--cooked to order. Based on my stay I decided to return to Fort Cochin and XL after several more weeks of travel and fly back to the north from Cochin.

Nice hotel in centre of Fort Kochi
The hotel was clean and comfortable, staff very friendly. The shower and aircon were quite old and not working that well, but overall we had a good stay for the price

Nice hotel close to the beach
overall a pleasant experience apart from one occasion when there was no running water available in the morning. This was due to hotel staff forgetting to turn on the valve the night before. The problem was resolved within about 45 mins.
It's a very convenient spot for travellers to Cochin. The fort is a good vantage point: quick stroll to the beach, the Chinese fishing nets and plenty of good eateries. Julie was a good host, helping us with alacrity where requested but keeping appropriate distance when judicious. the ferry across the water makes transport even simpler. The beach is fairly narrow with lots of rubbish washed up but the promenade is a pleasant walk.
I had an excellent host who was happy to help me out with anything and the driver who does transfers for the himestay is lovely and very helpful. Lovely people- would stay again :)
We had such an amazing time in Fort Cochi. Judy and her son were a fantastic hosts! Sheldon was even kind to wake up at 4am to drive us to the airport. The place is very clean and spacious. The shower pressure wasn't great but the bucket and water way did the trick - there was plenty of hot water. Judy is so warm and welcoming, we were quickly made to feel at home. It's a great location and so handy, everything was within walking distance. We'd planned to stay there for a week and ended up coming back for more. Thanks Judy!
