“I will definitely return”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2013

We were able to check in early and the front desk was very helpful with giving suggestions for places to eat and attractions to visit. The hotel was very comfortable and quiet. The room was clean, cool and quite large. The bathroom was clean. The bed was unbelievably comfortable. Definitely worth the price.

We stayed at Le Colonial as the final stop on our 16 night tour of Southern India and unanimously decided that it was our favourite hotel of the trip.

“Exceptional premises matched by exceptional service!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2013 via mobile

Le Colonial is a charming property, enhanced by tasteful and appropriate interior designing and decor, keeping the original Portugese flavor intact while giving all the comforts of 5 star living. No ugly AC ducts here! The service is exemplary - personalized like a home stay, yet distant enough to make you feel comfortably independent. Food was fantastic, especially the Kerala... More

“A lovely place to stay in Cochin”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2013

A small, historic, boutique hotel well located in Cochin. The service is very personal and the staff willing to accommodate all requests. When we asked about the hours for dinner we were told it could be served any time we showed up! We had a very early morning flight that required us to leave the hotel at 5 AM. They... More

“History, Luxury, Beauty and Grace”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2013

Le Colonial was a truly hidden gem. A 500 year old bungalow, that Vasco da Gama once lived in, shaded from the Kochi sun and noise, yet walking distance from everything that matters. Charming artefacts on display, that feeling of awe that you're standing neck deep in history, yet coming home to modern luxuries like air conditioning and sleeping on... More
