Well appointed guesthouse in central location in Fort Cochin. Very friendly service- booked taxi for us to continue our journey, organised quick turnaround on laundry. Large clean room with great high ceilings and balcony. Genuinely no frills - no TV in room, no food avbreaailable great eating options only a short walk away. more

This hotel seemed designed to let the mozzies get to you, and there were plenty there. This is rather strange because this is quite a newly done up place, but the holes in the bathroom wall next to water around plants just draw them in. The room was also quite noisy at night, and we discovered the reason why in... more

Very clean and niiiiiiiice place to stay!! The stuff is very friendly and good in organising things!! They give good advices and have insider tipps!! They were also very honest, cause we left the hotel for 3 days for a trip and forgot money in the room (not less) without knowing it...when we came back they gave us the money... more

I really liked this place. I am useless with names but the young guy who checked us in, and the one who always looked after the place in the evenings, are both so helpful and friendly they made it a really nice place to stay in. Rooms were spotless and cleaned everyday, though i would say that the hot water... more

We stayed at the Raintree for 4 nights at the end of January 2009. Unfortunately our stay didn't get off to a great start. We booked our trip by email several months before, reconfirmed as requested and got in touch with the owner whilst we were in Alleppey to arrange a pick up. Everything was fine until enroute to Cochin... more

In stead we had a romantic garden dinner at the Old harbour. We had a wonderful time staying at the Raintree, it's... more

Although we tried to get into the Old Harbor hotel, they were full and Edgar offered us rooms at the Raintree instead. (Incidentally, we had breakfast one day at the Old Harbor, and given the very inattentive staff, high price of the food, small portions, mediocre quality, and Euro-chique atmosphere that felt very insulated from Indian culture, we were glad... more

Great place, with big rooms & bathrooms, comfy beds, a/c. Staff were very friendly & helpful, offering advice, organising cars. No bar or lounge except a pretty roof terrace. Very handy for local bars (if no beer in evidence, try asking - & be served beer in tea-pot & mugs!), restaurants & sea front but just off the main thoroughfares... more

spacious, clean rooms, friendly staff, well priced, good location in quiet street We were two couples, one child each, on a round trip through southern India, staying a couple of nights in Fort Cochin. This was an ideal base to get round either on foot or with a motor rickshaw. Should you hire a rickshaw, tell them not to do... more
