This hotel was a real find. Old Portugeese architecture, full of character and charm. Beautiful gardens, tranquil swimming pool, friendly staff, good food. It was the first stop on our honeymoon, and was a real treat. more

I first stayed here in February 08 and loved it (and India) so much, i came back 2 months later with more friends. The decor is effortlessly stylish and maintains the traditional character of the building and grounds with every detail having been carefully considered, from the stunning granite pool to the art dotted around the rooms.

We took a three week trip to India in November 2007, starting in Delhi and working our way through the country and eventually landed at the airport in Cochin.

I was so lucky since I stayed in one of the Suite upstairs: beautiful volumes, perfect decoration with every detail being checked, and a... more

Birds around the pool noisy and could be a menace but added to the character.Great location for visisting Cochin and so close to the Chinese nets. A sanctuary and a great place to... more

The hotel has a great location, and is well appointed with an excellent restaurant. However, it is expensive for the area, and the lack of any ability to serve wine or beer does mean that the meals are less enjoyable. Staff helpful and there is a communal tip system which makes life easier. more
