Three cheers for John Isac (assistant mgr) & Merlin at the front desk. Wonderful staff members. We had a great stay at the Malabar House and their other location at Serenity (highly recommend going to Serenity for a day or two to lounge in the rubber tree plantation estate, visit with their local elephant, and enjoy the quiet). The rooms... More

Malabar House was exactly what we expected and wanted in terms of a heritage hotel, with rooms around a central courtyard. (We were a little concerned at first to find that our room was literally right off the courtyard and within a couple of meters of the small pool, with frosted windows so no view even if we would have...

I didn't stay in the hotel but ate in the restaurant. Really refind food, try the tuna as a starter ! A beautifull setting and good service, although the waiter brought the main course while we were still eating the tuna... I bought the cookery book of the chef, Masala. A beautifull book with great recipes.

This Hotel is out of Kochi and you wonder where on earth the Taxi driver is taking you. But it is worth getting away from the usual noise and chaos of India. Set in beautiful grounds over looking the water Good rooms and excellent service.

Malabar House is a super small quiet hotel not far from the places of interest in Cochin. Lovely clean room overlooking the Parade Ground where youngsters played cricket at every opportunity. Clean and friendly with wonderful music around the courtyard area while we dined on excellent cuisine. Fab stay at the beginning of our trip to Kerala

After a very friendly arrival we were soon in our lovely first for room, very spacious with a dressing area, large bathroom and our own shady veranda. The hotel has a very nice courtyard with a small, but delightful plunge pool. There were only 4 sunbeds, but there always seemed to be 2 free ones when we wanted them. Food... More

Lovely room, shady patio with a small pool for cooling off and eating, and very helpful staff. very well located to walk into Fort Kochi and to watch the sunset from the beach promenade. Food was excellent and seemed very good value at the time (but... More

Signs around the property tell of the 15 year effort to refurbish the hotel. The work has managed to make for a modern hotel, but it has kept enough old charm to make it pleasant mix. The open air dining is pleasant, overlooking the pool, under the frangipani trees. Malabar House is conveniently located close to the waterfront at Fort... More

The hotel is a gentle five minutes stroll away from the beach with its chinese fishing nets and stalls and most other sights/attractions in Fort Cochin. The rooms have high ceilings and are individually decorated to a high standard. The bar serves good tapas style snacks, only the lack of a/c during my stay letting it down. Dinners in the... More
