Top Hotels Near St. Francis Church in Kochi from NZ$24

"Lovely historic hotel in the prime location of Fort Kochi. Excellent location to explore the city, with many of the attractions within very short walking distance. Two out of three nights we had dinner in the courtyard restaurant. Dinner was excellent with plenty of Kerela seafood options. At 4pm tea/snacks are also served in the courtyard which we would recommend. Staff were excellent and were very attentive to our concerns. The building itself is 400 years old and is very well maintained for its age, however some rooms do need some maintenance. The staff assured us they would take care of this during the off-season."

"The room was okay but not much to see and do in fort Kochi. The staff were very friendly and kind and arranged a driver for us to go to Munnar and he was THE BEST! "

"Charming property with lots of character. Ideal location in a fort Kochi, lovely helpful staff, spacious comfortable rooms (air conditioning worked well and bathrooms were clean and well appointed) all made for a marvelous stay. "

"Clean rooms, friendly staff, good food, great ambiance and near to all attractions. Highly recommended 👌 "

"Really pretty place, nice food, amenities were nice. Would definitely recommend. "

"This place was a GREAT value. The room was huge, and the property was very pretty. The staff were very attentive. Amenities and food were kind of lacking, but I would recommend this place for the price. "

"Definitely not worth 5K per night. The location is great! The room is okay, toiletries were available on request. Also saw a cockroach in the room on the last night "

"We stayed six nights in a Superior Suite at Villa Elixir at the end of a three-week trip to India. Sadly, it was a disappointing experience. Our room backed onto a noisy road, the window didn’t fully close, and mosquitoes were an issue with no net provided. The pool was green on arrival, then heavily chlorinated and unusable for the rest of our stay. Breakfast was very basic (curry, fruit, slices of white bread with butter and jam, and a flask of milk-tea and coffee), the kitchen staff were unwelcoming. We ended up eating breakfast elsewhere and paying to swim at other facilities. Other problems included cold showers throughout the stay (despite reporting it), no hand towels, very harsh ceiling lighting instead of bedside lamps, and only two coat hangers with no extras available. One bedside socket didn’t work whilst the air conditioning was ok but neither particularly quiet nor effective. Laundry arrangements were disorganised, and the payment processing was unnecessarily complicated. Positives: the hotel itself appeared clean, the room was spacious with a comfortable bed and good blackout curtains, and the location is within walking distance of the beach and much of Kochi. There are pleasant seating areas, and our balcony overlooking the pool was nice. Full credit to Akshay on reception, who was always polite and tried his best to help, though he seemed unsupported by management."
