Top 10 Bed and Breakfast Inns in Kochi (Cochin), India

May 7, 2023 Marissa Gamble

A blending of several small villages on the southwestern coast created the current incarnation of Kochi (or Cochin), where sunset strolls, sampling fresh fish from seaside vendors and boat rides through the islands just offshore top visitors' to-do lists. Art centers showcase the traditional dance, Kathakali. European influences are seen in the 16th-century Portuguese-built churches and forts, while the mark of early Chinese traders is visible in the unusual fishing nets dotting the shoreline.

Clean and walking distance to beach

Reviewed By Triptorious

The hotel staff are really sweet. Good breakfast prepared on the spot included in price (eggs, bread and jam, and chai). They'll point you know the right direction of a few walking distance attractions. Febra(sp?), the young manager, will link you to a superb auto rickshaw driver if you want to tour around more (Shibab 99958 57006). There's a beach in walking distance, but you cannot swim there. Supposedly there's a ferry somewhere that you can take; ask the nice gentleman who serves the breakfast. Comfortable bed! Air conditioned. Nice place to call your home base. Notes: They will charge you for extra bottled water, but at least you don't have to venture out for it, and they use the market rate so very fair. I did find a couple roaches in my room, and mosquitos always get in, so just take care of it. I'd say it was one of the cleanest places I found on my trip. They do not have a working credit card reader (or so they say); bring cash!

First holiday since lockdown!

Reviewed By PillaiExpress

Took our elderly parents, teenage son & 5yr old Rottwelier for their first holiday post lockdown, to this homestay. Clean, comfortable, serene rooms set in a garden facing the lake. Shari, Sharath and their family managed to give us a balance of a resort & home experience.Extremely professional hosts & impeccable service. Our pet enjoyed the stay as much as we did. With a beautiful beach less than 0.5kms the location was perfect. With great food (fresh seafood), great conversations, the host's little girl Minnu showing us how to catch fish on a hook..the week was very relaxed and enjoyable.

Heavenly stay

Reviewed By 750ratuls

The homestay is situated in a chilled out location in Fort Kochi and is very accessible for sightseeing, dining, recreation and generally getting around. The building is well maintained, surrounded by trees and plants. The rooms are very clean and come with many amenities such as WIFI, fridge, TV etc. The bathroom are cleaned every day too. Overall hygiene was well taken care of. The highlight for me was the terrace...gorgeous, filled with beautiful potted plants creating a laid back atmosphere which I would enjoy most evenings. There were also a lot of birds singing around in the morning as the building in engulfed in trees....great start to my mornings. Also, there were some cute and friendly pet cats about too. Great spot for nature lovers. The breakfast was complimentary and I was very happy with the quality of the food we were served. I preferred the South Indian Kerala styled breakfast. However, one can request for other breakfast options too; the hosts are flexible to accommodate your choice. The hosts - Patrick and Mary were very gracious and welcoming. They were available to us for any query that we had. They even went out of their way to help me source some authentic, local and home-made wine and pickles, which I definitely would not have found on my own. I am glad that I found this homestay as it enhanced my vacation while also being budget friendly. It was sincerely the best hospitality experience that I have had in a homestay till date. Highly recommend it to anybody visiting Fort Kochi. Steves.

Sea Front Resort

Reviewed By Sree k

There are only eight rooms in the resort. Two Rooms in the main area of the resort alone is sea facing.. We booked the resort with an intention to stay in the sea facing rooms. We were allotted with the rooms in the heritage wing is not sea facing. The same is like a normal room with a small garden in front. If you climb few steps, you will be able to face the sea.. That area is a private space for these 6 six rooms and dining is provided in that area. Food is ok.. You have only limted choices for dinner. Break fast was also ok.. The break fast is arranged in the main building. There is an infinity pool in the resort. But the resort is not maintained properly. The staffs are friendly. But they don't have any professionalism in their attitude and all. Its not a beach side resort.. You can just sit and view the sea from the restaurant and the dining area of the hotel or from the two sea facing rooms

Nice accommodation

Reviewed By Haridaskp

The best part of this hotel is it's sprawling bg bedroom with a connecting door to another room which is just perfect for a family of 4. The room overlooks the sea from the balcony. Despite a breakfast that's just ordinary you need to make provision from outside for food. This hotel is just opposite to the sea and just 100mtr distance from the beach. Nice place to stay for a family but the hotel could do with some make over but probably covid has had its toll on every business. Overall i would rate it a 3*. A massage parlour also is available but nothing much to talk about just basic. Just come stay fr 2days enjoy the calm weather n leave. That's it.

Hotel amenity and staff

Reviewed By drdhirendra

The only plus point of the hotel is that it is close to the airport, only 15 minutes drive otherwise there is no plus point in this hotel. Rooms are small, if you asked for an extra bed then it will be completely packed. They have two restaurants in the hotel and one outside the hotel a roadside Dhaba. When you asked for food, they will serve it only from that dhaba in your room.

The Postcard Mandalay Hall

Nestled in cobbled bylanes of Mattancherry, Mandalay Hall is a landmark building in the once residential Jewish quarters. Inspired by the history and beauty of the heritage structure, Architect Tony Joseph and his family crafted Mandalay Hall Concept Hotel, an unforgettable experience bridging Kochi’s past and present. The Family’s love for art design, food and culture is reflected in every inch of the boutique property. The five luxury rooms or ‘galleries’ of the concept hotel host custom installations by different artists, who are selected by the curator for the year. Each room is a three-dimensional immersive canvas, which tells a different story. This provides a unique opportunity for lovers of art to live inside an installation and in that sense be a part of it. The space also houses the Mandalay Hall design store, Panchaloham, a high end antique jewellery boutique, and AAh, an experimental restaurant serving contemporary Kerala cuisine.

The best ever boutique hotel

Reviewed By Shobs14

This place was an excellent find and three of us friends went there expecting clean rooms and decent service. Instead what we got was just totally an awe inspiring room with art decorating every corner and the details to which the hosts- manager Dinuj went to to make our stay comfortable was beyond our dreams. The service was par excellence and this is by far the best every hotel i have stayed in and my friends would agree as well. Dinuj, Ankit the housekeeping manager, Junaid the chef/bartender and the other hotel staff went out of their way to serve us. This hotel has made an indelible mark on my memory for Kochi. Looking forward to booking all their properties and staying there on our future vacations.
