I really enjoyed staying here at Kochill and extended my stay to four nights. The room is a good size and very clean and comfortable. The upstairs common area was comfortable and a great place to talk with other guests. And the hosts Babu and Kurumi were always around and very helpful with travel arrangements and ideas for local activities. The theater and dance shows at the local Kathakali theater were fabulous.

The owner was always very friendly and helpful. But also gave the space when I needed. I'd say it's something I really value in someone. He was proactive in finding me a car and helped me carry my baggage as well. We also had a lovely friendly conversation.

Booked this property since we were in Fort Kochi for exactly 24 hours, most of which we planned to spend outdoors. On that front, it has a great location advantage. It is a short walking distance from the water metro terminal. Places we visited on foot from here: Princess Street, St. Francis Church, David Hall, Vasco Da Gama Square, Chinese Nets, MG Beach, Beach Walkway, Burgher St Cafes & Restaurants - Qissa, Kashi Art Cafe, Trouvaille, Lila Art Cafe, Seagulls Autos were easily available to go to Mattancherry side. The property was a good budget option and was safe, convenient, clean and functional for what we were expecting from a short stay.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Good location, good staffs. When I reached to the hostel, they wanted to suggest me another option of the lower bunk bed in another mix dormitory(Ⅰbooked 1 Lady dorm but already occupied lower bunk beds). More over, after arguing with other inns, when I was suddenly told that I wanted to come back here, I was warmly welcomed immediately.
