Good hotel in central location

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 22 Mar 2024
We stayed for two nights in a deluxe room on the first floor; the hotel is a lovely old colonial building with beautiful period furniture. The bed was very large and comfortable and we slept under mosquito nets - no bad thing as the window frames are original with gaps! The air con was good and there was a kettle with tea & coffee.

It was good to come back after sightseeing and jump in the small plunge pool; the garden was small but had tables and chairs and was nice to sit in.

The hotel is halfway down Princess Street which has plenty of cafes for breakfast; Trouvelle opposite which did a brilliant breakfast roll in a fabulous air-conditioned modern bakery. The cakes were to die for!

Next to the hotel was a 4* hotel where we had a beer in their bar and also went to the Old Harbour hotel round the corner for dinner.

Room Tip: The stairs going upstairs were very steep but there were several rooms on the ground floor around...

Excellent in every respect. The hotel is located in a nicely restored historic building, very close to all of Fort Kochi's amenities and attractions. All the facilities are great, i.e. swimming pool, air conditioning, wi-fi, etc. The rooms are comfortable and appropriately furnished, with nice views on to the central courtyard. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. The complimentary breakfast is tasty, and the hotel is excellent value for money. If you have mobility issues then ask for a room on the ground floor, where the rooms have step-free access.

Heritage charm in the centre of town, great location to see the Chinese fishing nets and the local fishermen hand casting from the beach. Location is ideal for coffee shops, art galleries, small supermarket and restaurants all within 5 minutes walk. Hotel calm and small only 9 rooms makes a welcome change from the big chains. Small pool a cooling relief on a hot afternoon.

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, we are centrally located in Fort Cochin with almost everything worth visiting, a few minutes walk only.
Being a small property, we always try our best to make it a calm oasis, from the normal day to day outside our walls. And our guests' privacy and safety is very important to us.
With climate change, we put in the pool as the weather has really been warmer. We are happy that it is used and enjoyed.

The Old Courtyard is a delightful hotel in the heart of Fort Kochi. Its ideally located on Princess Street with easy access to restaurants, shops and the sights of Cochin. Our room was incredibly spacious and well furnished, super comfortable double bed and a large bathroom. Just outside our room was a seating area overlooking the interior courtyard and swimming pool. The pool was a real delight after finishing sightseeing due to the high humidity.

The staff team were super friendly and helpful making our stay a very welcome one. Breakfast was served outside in the courtyard and was a set local authentic breakfast - we had something different each day. Would recommend a stay here.
