We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights from 1 April 2016 - a beautiful old colonial building with only 7 bedrooms - all very good. We booked the best, and most expensive of the lot - the Viceroy. It looked great - big and comfortable. The weather was hot and very humid. We quickly discovered that the air conditioning was not working in the room. Attempts to repair this failed. It was unbearable. We ended up being shuffled from one room to another - ending up sleeping in three different, not as good, rooms in only 4 nights - the air con in the second of the three rooms also conked out. To make matters worse we discovered that this problem was not new and had occurred only weeks before. In my view they should never have accepted a booking in this expensive place in these circumstances. The episode was most unsatisfactory - and the owner would not even consider a refund of the money we had wasted.
I should add that the staff on duty led by Sumesh were great and did all they could to make us comfortable but this was a problem outside their control.

We booked last minute on Easter weekend. We arrived to find only us and one other guest at the hotel...which made it really nice and quiet, exactly what was needed. The staff is very accommodating and kind. This is a small heritage hotel 8 rooms, with a simple kitchen available to serve traditional Indian and beer and wine for lunch and dinner and simple continental breakfast. The rooms are very clean, well appointed and air conditioned. The A/C was very much appreciated as temps were in the high 90's with high humidity during our stay. There is a small lovely porch to have morning tea and coffee. Some rooms have their own balcony. The pool is small but very nice for an afternoon dip. We visited many sites and shops nearby easily walking. We had a drink at another large heritage hotel in the area and were incredibly glad not to have booked there - Le Colonial was much preferred.

I just had a very nice relaxed time at Le Colonial. We stayed there four nights. The old style house is very well kept and furnished. The very big room with two queen beds had all conforts one could need. The staff was kind, professional and friendly. The food very good. The pool and the outdoor very pleasant. It is located in a very central position and it is very quit. It was like being at home. If I go back to Kochi I will not spend time for other solution, but simply go back to Le Colonial.
