We stayed here for 4 nights and found the rooms to be great value and very clean. The staff could not have been more helpful with train tickets and lots of local advice. The location was great being in the centre of the old quarter and close to all restaurants and shops. The price was very reasonable for this type... More

The owner and his team at Sonnetta Residency were very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were very clean and servicable, with hot running water, towels and toiletaries. It is a great location in Fort Cochin - walking distance to the Chinese Fishing Nets and the Kathakali Centre (daily performances of Kathakali dance and traditional music). Great artsy... More

After a long flight from the UK we arrived here at 5am! We rang the doorbell and was welcomed in. as our room was not occupied we were able to settle in straight away and get some well needed sleep.

We stayed with the friendly and helpful folks at Sonnetta Residency for 5 nights. The room had two double beds with thick, comfortable mattresses and a spotless bathroom with a great shower. They assisted us in finding bicycles to rent and provided secure indoor storage for them. We had good Indian breakfast and "western" breakfast was also available. The room... More

I concur with other reviewers that this is a great place to stay. The facilities, cleanliness and extra mile service you get here is outstanding. HOWEVER, I booked my room through Agoda - and when I presented my voucher the owner said he wasn't prepared to honour it, because apparently Agoda don't pass on enough of the tariff to them.... More

Sparkling clean and beautifully decorated. Prime location with restaurants and sights within walking distance. The friendly staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Price is actually much lower than other hotels on the same street even though more amenities are offered such as a refrigerator, WiFi, tea & coffee, AC, fluffy towels, etc. I have been staying here for 7 years because...

The homestay is located in the heart of Fort Cochin. Although clean and relativly spacious they are overpriced. Cant really justify the price. More
