Old Harbour Hotel

The loveliest hotel with the most amazing team who couldn’t do more to take care of us! They were amazing with our toddler who loved walking around high fiving them all. The whole place retains its original charm but has some amazing quirky antique pieces dotted about. The pool area was really nice and lots of well kept garden and greenery. We booked one of the suites for 7 days as we had our young child with us and it was the biggest room we’ve ever stayed in with a separate area we could put her in to sleep - it was great! One thing I would mention is the accomodation cannot offer a baby travel cot so you will need to bring your own. We had the best stay and will have lovely memories of our time getting to know the area and the wonderful staff at this hotel.

Such an elegant hotel, staff were very friendly and great service. Lovely breakfast. We also had a couple of evening meals here which were first class. The owner was very friendly, with always a smile on his face. It was quiet as out of season, but that was actually rather nice

We stayed at this hotel for one night travelling between Mumbai and Alleppey Kerela. The greeting we had at the hotel was excellent everyone was so friendly, we were shown to our room the Palace Suite a great size of room ideal for three of us. the decor of the room and the hotel is continuous with its heritage theme whilst having a dash of modern here and there great touches. The hotel is situated 100 metres from the harbour where you can see the famous fishing nets, and see the fishing market where the fish await sale. ***** the promonade area there are market stalls, and food stalls providing a taste of India both food wise and culturally The hotel as pool although we did not have time to use it . The restaurant is both inside and out, the night we stayed it was all indoor as we had a freek rain storm for 10 mins. The food menu has a great choice for starters and mains and a small dessert selection. Service was excellent very friendly and helpful, the food was excellent. The room was a great, the beds very comfortable even the third bed , tea and coffee in the room as well as water for drinking. The shower was excellent with toiletries available to use on a complimentary basis. The morning breakfast is a choice a continental type or Kerela breakfast , and they are both very good and filling. there re pets in the hotel, Happy and Gavaskar the dogs are great so friendly and valentine the cat just does his own thing Great hotel, it just so unfortunate we only had one night we will definitely return the next time were in kerela for more nights most excellent and enjoyable stay

We absolutely loved our 4 night stay - they make you feel so welcome and take really good care of you......they just couldn't do enough to make your stay perfect. The bedroom was spacious, great air con, garden view and area to sit outside your patio doors, which was wonderful. Beautiful gardens and setting. Food very good indeed. We would love to stay here again if in the area and we would definitely recommend it - it was wonderful.

This beautiful old building provides a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle outside. Our room was very comfortable and the staff were lovely. They couldn’t do more for you. All meals we had there were wonderfully fresh and the South Indian and western options were all done really well. Breakfast looking out to the garden was a highlight and we enjoyed the pool being lucky to have it to ourselves mostly in the off-season.

We started our trip in Fort Kochi and had an excellent dinner in the garden one evening so decided to return to stay in the hotel. It was fabulous, they upgraded us to a large room overlooking the garden and really looked after us in every way. The room had very efficient air con and the largest and most comfortable bed ever! The room had a kettle & a mini bar in a fridge in the room, which was a luxury to enjoy a beer or cold wine in our room at the same price as charged in the restaurant. They also allowed us to stay in the room until a taxi collected us at 1pm without any fuss. The garden is an oasis in a busy part of the city opposite the fishing nets and we did not hear any noise although it can be a bit smelly from the fish at times ***** with the whole area. Princess Street is 1 minute away which is good for shopping and coffee shops. Dinner in the garden was just as good the second time and a cooked English style breakfast was an absolute treat the next morning! Book, you won't regret it!

Super friendly staff, nice and calm breakfast, cute lazy dogs. The location is great, right by the beach. The room is huge and has good a/c, lots of space and comfortable bed. Walking distance to all Fort kochi sights anf shops and cafés. Thanks!

Friendly staff, but yes, very hot and sticky. I appreciate we stayed at the end of the season when the heat and humidity starts to ramp up but there is very little escape. Firstly the rooms, it was spacious, clean and quirky our problem was the air con. Our room had old integrated air con which was fairly inefficient, when turned down to the minimum 16 degrees it was still warm so we asked the front desk to sort it while we were out. It was cooler on our return but still not great, our travel companions had a room with a new stand alone air con unit which was fine. The heat problems don't stop there, the inside restaurant for breakfast is opened to the garden with only ceiling fans, no air con so breakfast was quite uncomfortable. We ate outside on our first night but the humidity and a few bugs made it unpleasant so we ate elsewhere on our second night. The breakfast was good, especially the granola and fruit but our evening meal was fairly bland, As others have said, wi fi is an issue and the hotel admit this, it doesn't work in your room so you have to endure the heat of the hotel landings to use it. There is a pool to cool off but as it was an strange opaque colour (chemicals?) I didn't bother. All in all, a good location and some amusing quirky art but that's about it.

We really love the Old Harbour : we must do, as this was our 7th stay - and it was better than ever! Comfortable stylish rooms Wonderful breakfast A**ospheric outdoor restaurant with fabulous music and food Excellent location right in the thick of things but still quiet enough to get a peaceful night’s sleep Laid back vibe but very efficiently run Those are the things we appreciate in a hotel but what makes this place so special is the people, who treat you like family, and look after you so well. Lovely welcome from Jude and Vineetha, and good to see Sukesh again, if only on our last day. Also love what this hotel does for the local animals, taking such care of Happy, Gavaskar, Lily and Valentine, and their friends….. Travelled again with family , and the 4 of us had the most wonderful time. Thank you Jude and Vineetha, you really spoiled us! We’ll undoubtedly return to Fort Kochi, and wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else!!
