Roy is an excellent host, and was very helpful all throughout our stay. The accomodation is in an unbeatable location, right at the heart of Fort Cochin. The room was very spacious and there a lot of communal areas to make use of, like the lovely terrace.

Need to bring your own toiletries and hand soap.

Staying here is like staying at your grandparent's house. Mr. Roy is well connected and he can help arrange whatever you need. His recommendations are spot on. The location can't be beat. 5 min walk to Chinese fishing nets and main sites, really nice grocery shop around the corner, spacious children's park across the street. Room and bathroom was clean and very spacious and opened to a living area with fridge. Dutch-built historical family house that in itself is interesting to tour.

This homestay is perfectly located in the heart of Fort Kochi, just a short walk from cafes, restaurants, sights, and shops. Roy, the owner, is an exceptional host—warm, welcoming, and always ready with great tips to make your stay even better. From the moment you arrive, you feel right at home. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Fort Kochi! Thank you, Roy, for a wonderful stay!

Nothing it’s perfect.

Beautiful heritage home with a great feel and lovely spaces to relax outside of your actual room. The location couldn’t be better if you want to explore Fort Kochi on foot or by tuk tuk. Minutes walk from great restaurants, boutiques and the coastal path that’s lovely to wander at sunset. My room was spacious with a pretty window looking over the street and the shower was the best pressure I’ve had in India. Roy and his team are lovely kind people that even got up at 3am to see me into my airport taxi. Loved staying there, felt very cosy and for a solo traveller as if with family

I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Leelu's Homestay! Roy is an excellent host -- warm, helpful, informative -- and the location cannot be beat. The premises are clean and comfortable, albeit on the small side if you are staying three persons in one room. On the positive side, there is a cozy living room, so you are not restricted to the room outside of sleeping hours. I'd highly recommend staying here.

Do note it can be noisy if you come during festivals (eg Cochin Carnival) because of proximity to events.

Proprietor Mr Roy Simon is very friendly, helpful and caring. Ready to assist with issues, has great tips for Fort Cochin and provide advice on onward travel in Kerala. It felt like staying with family! The home stay was very clean and the staff were great. Couldn’t ask for a better location on a central but quiet street.

Our stay at Leelu Homestay was fantastic. Roy is an incredible host - he is so informative, helpful, friendly and welcoming that it felt like we were staying with family and not a stranger. He took us to buy fresh seafood from the fish market and to a local restaurant to have it cooked how we like and he organised trips for us to see kathakali, go kayaking and more. His home is a beautiful old 3 storey building (plus a rooftop garden) right in the heart of Fort Kochi - a few steps away from amazing cafes and restaurants. The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The breakfasts were always delicious. We’ve been travelling for months now and this accommodation is the most homely we’ve felt the whole trip. Highly recommend booking a room here.

Mr Roy was a great host. We travelled with 4 kids and all of us felt like our own home. Mr Roy helped us to arrange airport transport and auto (tuk tuk) for nearby movements. He also gave lots of suggestions for tour at Fort Cochin and nearby city. Breakfast was good. I am grateful to choose Leelu Homestay.

Great location, right in the heart of the Fort Kochi area. Roy and his team provided delicious breakfast which varied from Indian to lighter meals as we requested. He was also very helpful in helping us plan our time there which included organising our trip to Alleppy.

The host, Roy is very kind and has so many lovely stories to tell. He helps with anything there is to do in the environment. We went to the fish market and he bargained a good price for fresh prawns and he took us to a local fish restaurant to cook it for us!

Hot water a bit sparse. I cannot eat chili and much of the breakfast seerved was local Indian style and not to my liking.

Location just right, easy walking to major sights, restaurants, etc. Nice home and genuine friendliness of the owner.

Staying with Roy uncle was great - beautiful and very spacious house. The bedroom was big with a large bathroom, very quiet. The location is great, right in the heart of Fort Kochi so you can walk to most places. Roy uncle is very accessible with practical advice and great stories. Definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Host behaviour is tremendous. It feels to meet a relative 😊. You will get any support if You asked him. He went live sea fish market with Us and helped Us to bought good qualities on compititive price. He also arranged the cooking shop and the lobsters and red snappers test was so authentic as Kerala.
