    While pricier than other Kochi hotels, The Postcard Hotel is well worth the investment. This intimate boutique hotel, with only five rooms, boasts spacious and beautifully designed interiors that are both chic and modern. Its location in the heart of Jew Town is ideal for exploring Kochi. Despite being in a tourist area, the commercial nature of the location ensures a tranquil atmosphere from evening until morning, as shops close by 9 PM. The bed is exceptionally comfortable, and the amenities are well-equipped and meet five-star standards. The staff is incredibly hospitable and attentive, with special thanks to Mr. Renjith for ensuring seamless and high-quality dining and overall experiences. The restaurant serves clean and delicious food, and they are happy to customize portions to accommodate individual preferences, allowing guests to sample a wider variety of dishes. I highly recommend The Postcard Hotel to anyone visiting Kochi who is willing to spend a bit more for a truly comfortable and memorable stay.

    There are a lot of hotels that use the descriptor of boutique, but The Postcard Mandalay Hall really fits the bill. Small, beautifully repurposed with thoughtful artwork and furniture and a lovely private pool. The Postcard Mandalay Hall’s attentive staff want to make sure everything you need or want is attended to. The location, steps from the clock tower and historic synagogue, is lovely. It is has the potential of being a busy street with tourists during the day but it’s also a pedestrian street which means it is quiet at night. Also, the cafes and shops around make it easy to explore and grab a coffee or snack just outside your door. There’s a lot to items to choose from antiques to hand smocked items and beautiful hand made lace. Also, the water is minutes away by foot with the Dutch Palace a short stroll as well as other historical places. There’s another hotel on the water minutes away so you can have a cold one in their restaurant and look out at the port and watch the boats and water fowl. Our bigger hotel on the other side of Kochi was pleasant but, The Postcard Mandalay is in another category. It’s really is a beautiful place to stay at and enjoy. We were so comfortable there and so enjoyed the space of Gallery 1. Based on this experience, we forward to staying at other Postcard properties.

    A tranquil stay in the creative and characterful Mandalay Hall

    Fantastic welcome to this tranquil oasis in an old house of charm and character in the Jewish quarter. An upgrade to Gallery 1 was a lovely surprise. This room is incredibly cool and design-led with concrete walls with artist designed chalk murals. The bed is fabulously comfortable. A free standing bath with home blended salts takes centre stage in an open plan wash area and there is an excellent rain shower. Due to the heritage nature of the area all is quiet from 9pm so while the room overlooks the characterful street full of antique shops and design crafts it is tranquil at night. The hotel is also a dry hotel in respect of the location, so for travellers wishing a hotel with more bar restaurant vibes this is no gin palace. What it is, is great - staff are wonderful - thanks to Renjith the GM, Chef Prejith and the kitchen for the fantastic flavours of Kerala, proudly presented, and supporting team including Ajith and Vivek. With a tropical garden, library and a fresh water pool for languishing this is a beautiful retreat from the searing heat of the action - which is easily reached by auto rickshaw or walking. Here you can really rest in creativity.

    The location is walking distance to all that you might want to see as a tourist . The staff is super nice and very helpful . I travelled with my 92 year old Dad and the staff was very helpful .

    The room was awkward, the air conditioning was dripping. Hardly any natural light.

    Beautiful historic building with good restorations, tastefully decorated. The staff were superb. The first day the breakfast was amazing, the second morning they must have had a different chef because the food taste was noticeably different.
