Le Colonial was our favourite place to stay in Kerala. The resorts in the mountains were lovely, but this place was like a home. The property is very nicely landscaped and includes a lovely little swimming pool that leads to an open-air dining area. At the time of our stay, we were the only customers there, so we received personal care and service, which was just wonderful. Upon our arrival, our gracious host (my apologies, I have forgotten her name) greeted us with some nice cold homemade lemonade and we relaxed in the front parlour area, which was very nicely decorated with furniture and artifacts from the British era. The whole building contains paintings from the colonial eras, the woodwork is beautifully maintained, and our room was extremely spacious, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was stocked with toiletries from local companies. When we relaxed by the pool, we were served refreshing ice-cold lemon soda, also made in-house. The food here is simply outstanding! We were asked what we would like for dinner, if we liked seafood, and the chef would make something. We had fresh-caught prawns cooked in Kerala spaces, vegetables, chapati, pappadums...we had a table full of food cooked by a wonderful chef. As a note, this place does not serve alcohol, so we went to the nearby Malabar House for a glass of wine before dinner. The next day, we went sightseeing in Fort Cochin, and got back by 1:30. Lunch was ready for us, and it was a mixed seafood grill, which was by far and away the best meal I had in India! I cannot recommend this place highly enough; it is small and intimate, you will get personalized service and the building and grounds are unique and beautifully maintained.

Le Colonial is, I think, Asia’s oldest hotel in Fort Cochin – dates to 1506. Its adjacent to St. Francis Church and its said that Vasco da Gama and the Saint Ranscis had too stayed in that building.
Its now managed by the famous Neemrana brand of India.
I had the pleasure to stay there on one of my business trips.
My stay there has been memorable. There are two grand rooms and 5 other rooms. I had taken a "Other" room and that room too was very comfortable. Stocked with best amenties and it had all period furniture. Food is awesome at Le Colonia. It is well loacted - just opposite to the Chinese Fishing Nets. Most sites to visit in Fort Cochin were in walking distance. Staff was very helpful and very pleasant.

We had an amazing 3 nights here during May. Le Colonial has so many things to recommend it. From the moment you walk through the doors into the walled courtyard you feel relaxed. You move from the colourful modern day Indian street scenes and into a sense of Portugeuse, Dutch and British influence in this part of the World. The rooms are large and the house is tastefully furnished in a Colonial manner, with plenty of room to find a quiet spot to read a book.
The service in the Hotel is very good. The staff are attentive but discreet which is important in a smaller boutique hotel. The Chef is very accomplished, from lovely fresh fruit and scrambled eggs for breakfast to local dishes for lunch and supper. The hotel employs a driver who is happy to ferry you anywhere and has great local knowledge.
Staying at Le Colonial really does feel like you are part of a house party or visiting friends. A truly relaxing experience.
