Old Harbour Hotel

We recently stayed at the Old Harbour Hotel and it was a wonderful place to start our family visit to India. The location is great - just close to the new Water Metro jetty and close to many of the great things to do in Fort Kochi. The staff were very friendly, the rooms were immaculate snd the food was excellent. This is a great place to stay and with the new Water Metro is perfectly connected. Oh, and the architecture is lovely.

What a find. This old family run hotel in Fort Cochin met all our requirements plus more. It was great to step out of a bustling street into the tranquil quiet charm of this old building. We had a lovely comfortable garden room a few steps from main building within the confines of a walled garden. The swimming pool was most welcome in this heat. We had superb food for breakfast and dinner, service excellent. They advised us where else to eat and both other restaurants were top class. The staff, especially Vineetha and Jude, were so helpful and caring they made us feel like family. They made bookings for us to go to the backwaters plus transfers from the hotel and everything worked like clockwork. Highly recommended.

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!
