we really enjoyed our 1 night stay here. we had 2 rooms, and both were lovely- a little bit different from each other but both great. the staff were friendly and efficient and the rooms were clean and spacious. we had a snack at lunchtime and that was served quickly and was tasty and fresh- and then breakfast the next morning was perfect- fruit platter, fresh juice and pancakes but they had many options to select. the pool was clean and warm. the hotel position is really good for walking to explore and to the beach/sunset fishing nets etc. would go back anytime- a good stay,

Went to use the pool and have a snack included in the price 750 rupees. Was told it was an hour and a half to wait for some fries and a pakora! Got our snack money back. The most miserable receptionist in Kerala. Grotty washroom to change in so didn’t! Filthy doors, no locks, no tissue. Pool was filmy with debris. Not very nice experience

Good hospitality! People are extremely warm and respond promptly. Ironing board can be better. Breakfast can be better quality. Esp. Indian breakfast. Overall a great spot, close to an iconic Dutch cemetery and Arabian sea! Jia and the entire staff were great!

Recommend this place for location, good food and friendly staff who helped us plan our visit. Good for couples who wish to visit the old town in Kochi. If I had to return I would. Thank you for having us!

This place is like an oasis for relaxing and enjoying amazing food from the restaurant. It’s only a few minutes walking distance from the heart of fort kochi so you have all the shops and restaurants close by. The beachfront is just nearby so you can easily take a stroll along the beach at any time. The staff was very friendly and helped us arrange an amazing tour of the backwaters that we would never have managed on our own

This is a lovely oasis in the middle of busy Fort Kochi. The rooms were very charming and the bed very comfortable. Great breakfasts, good pool and in a beautiful setting. The reception staff were extremely helpful.

We requested for an early check in and we got it since the hotel was not fully occupied. The location is nice and the hotel can be marinated well with a bit of effort and awareness. It felt like the owner didn't care to upgrade the business Breakfast is very limited. There is one item served per day; First day we got toast, omelet & chicken sausage (sausage was not edible) and the next day only Dosa. The coffee machine was inoperative, The dinning area was full of flies and debris all over the place. We had the sea view room but the room was quite small. There was literally no room for any luggage inside the room. There was a small 2 door wooden cupboard which was completely run down and it wasn't comfortable to put clothes inside the cupboard. After arriving at the hotel, we decided to shorten our stay for 2 days as we were looking for a bit more comfort. We informed the reception for the change although our initial booking was for 4 days. I agreed to pay for one extra day since we arrived early and requested not to charge us for 4 days but staff members were very rude and refused straightway. I made couple of calls to the hotel reservation, spoke to the hotel in charge but nothing happened. The hotel charged us for full 4 days although we stayed there only for 2 days. It was a total disappointment and I believe that they would make better policy for their business.…

Dear Guest, Thank you for staying at The Amritara Poovath Heritage Hotel and for sharing the experience of your stay on TripAdvisor. We constantly strive to provide the best experience & comfort to our customers. We were glad that we were able to provide an early check in especially at early hours of the morning. Please note over the years our owners have generously taken care of the 3oo hundred year old Dutch mansion and continue to do so every year. We have noted your feedback regarding the breakfast spread and shall inform the same to our chef. We apologise that due to technical issue the coffee machine was out of service during your stay, but our team is always ready to bring freshly prepared coffee from the kitchen. At Amritara Poovath Heritage Hotel, the rooms our true blend of colonial style architecture with added modern requirements of 21st century. Sea View rooms are even more spacious as compared to other categories as it comes with an attahced verandah overlooking the beautiful Arabian Sea. We are upset to know that the room did not meet your expectations. Respectfully, we would like to disagree regarding your statement ascribed to us for the refund. Upon booking we had informed about our cancellation policy and it was only on the 3rd day upto last minute that you had shared your intention of shortening your stay as you had change in plan hence the management was not in the position to refund. Please be informed Amritara Poovath Heritage Hotel have always been praised for staff politeness & professionalism, so we are shocked to know you experienced otherwise. We hope you give us another opportunity in near future to show our true hospitality. Thank You Nancy Desai General Manager

Like many reviews say the staff are great. The rooms are a bit tired but comfortable. Our roof leaked after a downpour although in the annex and not near the bed. Missed that there is no license for alcohol. A shame because a nightcap would have been nice overlooking the ocean. Food was ok but not great. Overall a pleasant enough stay.

Beautiful, spacious, well-ventilated room with a private balcony overlooking the gorgeous Kochi beach. The room is larger than most standard rooms at five star hotels! History and culture blend beautifully in the architecture and decor of this property. Laze around in the balcony and watch the waves rise and ebb, enjoy a swim in the pool, or step out and be at the beach in two minutes! Little nooks and corners replete with hand-picked books, historical paintings and engaging curios ensure that the time spent at Amritara is anything but boring. All modern amenities are available here. The staff is extremely courteous. Dining options are a la carte; the dishes are truly lip-smacking and economical. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this heritage hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay at Fort Kochi, right at the beach, with picturesque views and excellent hospitality.…
