The Tower House - 17th Century, Cochin

This friendly and welcoming hotel close to the Chinese fishing nets in Fort Kochi is a lovely place to stay for a couple of nights when visiting Kerala. Our room was large and very comfortable with robes, plenty of bottled water, great walk-in shower and a separate seating area. The hotel is so interesting with many areas to relax in. The pool is really good (except for the crows!). The breakfast is quite basic but fine and, though you can get a meal in the evening, I would recommend finding a local restaurant instead for more exotic food. All the staff are helpful and kind. We got a great recommendation for a spa with tuk-tuk arranged for us to get there and back.

We spent 2 nights at this heritage property converted to a hotel by Neemrana group. The location is very central and it is walking distance to almost all tourist spots in Fort Kochi. The Chinese nets are across the street! It is nearly 40 Km away from the airport. The check in was seamless and the desk staff was pleasant and helpful. The rooms are spacious with heritage but comfortable furniture. Breakfast was sumptuous but the service was slow. The restaurant has limited lunch/dinner options but you can step out of the hotel and take your pick. |The desk staff arranged spots for us for Kathakali and martial arts performance and guided us well. I did not use the pool but it did look inviting. There were enough electrical outlets in the room and we used almost all of them. |As the property is heritage, the doors and windows have glass arches above them and the street/lobby lights shine into the room and therefore it cannot be dark at night. This was a big negative for us and for the price we paid, I would not stay here again.

The Tower House Hotel has a wonderful location right on the port near the Chinese fishing nets. The rooms were all different in size and standard. Mine was very comfortable. The sheets, mattress and pillows were excellent. The food was also very good and the staff could not have been more hospitable. There were 17 of us on a yoga holiday so there were a lot of demands being asked of the staff which they handled with grace and professionalism. A wonderful buidling with lots of charm. Thank you to all the staff at the Tower House Hotel 5 star from me.

It is a beautifully restored heritage hotel with beautiful common areas and clean and comfortable rooms. The breakfast is really good with many made to order items. The garden and pool is clean and well maintained. The location is great, the park across the road is nice and the Chinese fishing nets are right there and other fort kochi things like Jew town are all just a short auto ride away. The only con that I would like to mention here is that being so close to the fishing areas the common areas (not air conditioned) have a decent amount of fishy smell especially by the large and beautiful widows, the air conditioned rooms are fine and there was no smell there. It wasn't a big deal for us but I have some vegetarian friends who I know wouldn't enjoy this property solely for this reason so wanted to mention it.

Amid the vibrant energy and lively chaos of Kochi, this hotel is a true oasis, seamlessly blending Portuguese colonial charm with stunning architecture, tranquil spaces, and a spectacular pool. We chose to include both breakfast and dinner, and every meal was exceptional, a perfect balance of local flavors and international cuisine. Loved the afternoon tea and cookies!

As informed by the staff, it is more than 300 old heritage building. This heritage building, kept in very good condition. Eating in the restaurant of this building gives felling of royal one. Chef needs to improve his working style, as Pasta served with sauce only and without Pasta . Re-serving cost me lots of my precious time and cab cost.

Lovely mansion and good location but could use a lot of sprucing up to meet the price point. Bedding felt damp and rough. Room also had a smell that caused me to sneeze incessantly.
