Located in the colonial city of Fort Cochin, Tissa's Inn is housed in a mansion 1 km from Fort Cochin Beach and Chinese Fishing Nets. It offers an outdoor pool and massage services. Free parking is provided. Room was spacious and very neat. Staff was very courteous, prompt and helpful. Everyone spoke English, so we didn't feel like language was a problem. The hotel is located centrally in Fort Kochi so all the attractions are in a 5 kms radius. They also helped us in finding a scooty (which is 200m from the hotel), and finalise our tickets for a great kathakali show (everyone MUST go) that happens daily, nearby. The Water Metro and ferry are 5 mins away. We had booked breakfast at the hotel, and it was FANTASTIC. They serve a South Indian and a continental spread, and both were yummy! Loved the ambience, and the pool on the rooftop is cool too. Thanking everyone at Tissa's Inn for their hospitality and care. We'll be back soon!

Blending colonial Victorian charm and chic modern design, the 5-star Taj Malabar Resort and Spa Cochin presents a first-rate spa, a landscaped pool and a 24-hour fitness centre. Overlooking Cochin Harbour, its contemporary rooms include a 32-inch flat-screen TV and DVD player. Free WiFi is available throughout the property. Oh my gooodness, where do I begin. From their beautfiul oasis of a property with every facility you could need my sister and I had an amazing staycation at the Taj Malabar. We were only there for one night, but the staff made us feel so very welcome - and I mean every single staff member we encoutered! We had fabulous food with a made-on-request item at breakfast from Chef Sunil, great service at the restaurant from Alex and Dinesh, Latheef gave us amazing information about their garden and plants, Jasmine gave us a warm welcome and a great boat tour. There was an out of this world floral arrangement at the entrance and we were given an extensive overview of how that beauty comes together. We really enjoyed our stay overall but the staff made it extra special. The room in and of itself had a great view (501) and was impeccably decorated, with a smart TV. Super comfy bed and sheets - as with all hotels in the Taj family.

Experience a forgotten era at this cozy, cultural gem.

The Old Courtyard Hotel is an historic and tranquil sanctuary with ten antique-appointed rooms in the very heart of old Fort Kochi.

Built 200 years ago, the hotel formerly served as the town house of a wealthy and influential lady trader named Lily Koder throughout the 1900s. So central to everything but tucked away and super quiet. Staff is very helpful and breakfast was delicious!
