Old Harbour Hotel

This was one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed at. The building is traditional with old world charm, the rooms are done up so gorgeously, with fresh flowers and the cutest decor. The staff, including Sakesh, Kapil, Cinderella and many more were absolutely amazing., their service was top notch. The food was delicious, especially all the seafood dishes and the breakfast...oh my goodness! I could eat breakfast all day long. The pool surrounded by lush trees and flowers was so enchanting, it almost felt like I was outside in the wild, birds chirping and playing around. The live music in the evening overlooking the pool was a wonderful treat. I would love to go stay there again. Someone said that there was noise from the street, but I had a garden room with a courtyard at the entrance, so I didn't hear any noises. However, I would have enjoyed the noises too, given that the place was itself so beautiful. We had wa Walking distance to lots of restaurants, ferry, Princess Street, shopping, Chinese fishing nets, fish market, Vasco da Gama square....oh it was all so lovely!

Wonderful - just perfect. A haven of old school tranquility in this bustling city. Fantastic service, beautiful setting, lovely pool. Attentive, friendly, professional. Can’t fault anything at all. Would definitely recommend unreservedly.

A wonderful old Colonial building in the heart of Cochin. We had two rooms, one with and outdoor shower and the other with an enormous closed in balcony room that looked out onto a park/exercise area. Our room was clean and comfortable, the staff was wonderful. Dining in the outdoor restaurant not to be missed, offered some of the best food on our trip. The poolside is relaxing and would suggest using it during the hottest part of the day when touring can be exhausting.

We love all the staff - they are honestly the best in the world! It’s got so much charm but it’s relaxed, easy and it’s not trying too hard - it’s a place that is comfortable in its own skin. The food is pretty good too - fresh, healthy and delicious. I also can personally recommend the yoga studio Loving Earth. which although it is a separate entity, there is a connection with the hotel - it’s superb. Roll on 2026!

This is an excellent hotel with lots of history. 2 Minutes walk from sea front. Staff at the hotel were very friendly and service top notch. Easy to walk out and explore the local area. was full of small shops good restaurant's and history. would visit again.

We stayed in 9 hotels in India and this was the best. The location is excellent, and the food in the restaurant was wonderful. But the really nice part of the stay was the friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff. Old fashioned luxury, but not glitzy. A particular mention to Vinitha whose friendly and helpful attitude makes the place very welcoming.
