    Everything about the place was great. Old building with wooden floor. Big big room with windows all around with views to vasco de gama park. Very comfortable and great staff.

    A bit noisy the room because it was very close to vasco de gama park. However nothing to really complaint about.

    The location across the fishing nets is excellent in old Kochi. Pool was nice though we didn't use it. Size of room was nice

    The room had a very average view. The hotel didn't have a liquor permit or bar - though there were other places with bars just around the corner but I was traveling with my mother who wanted to stay in and relax. However the hotel did offer to send someone to pick up a bottle from the alcohol store for us to have.

    Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your stay at The Tower House in Cochin. We’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed our location right across from the iconic Chinese fishing nets and appreciated the spaciousness of your room. It’s also great to know that you found the pool inviting—even if you didn’t get a chance to take a dip! That said, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to you during your stay. As per our discussion with the property manager, we understand that you were allotted the Breekopt room, as per the category booked during your reservation. This room, located on the first floor, typically offers charming views of the Chinese fishing nets through its windows on two sides. We would like to clarify that The Tower House does not offer bar facilities, which is already mentioned on our website for the awareness of our guests.

    We had two lovely nights in Fort Kochi staying in this hotel. The hotel had a lot of character and was perfectly located for sites we wanted to see and places we wanted to visit. We really liked our room with its high ceilings and ample space. It was unlike any other hotel we’ve stayed in. The breakfast was good and the coffee was actually strong, which we’ve not found to be the case during our trip around India. I’d highly recommend

    The pool could have opened a little earlier (say 7am) for people who like a morning swim. It also looks very different to the pool on the photos. I was quite taken by the chequered floor of the pool when looking online, but that wasn’t how the pool looked when we arrived - really not a big deal, but just to flag!

    The first room that we were given was on the ground floor and did not meet our expectations. However, the staff was very attentive and immediately changed our room to a first floor one with a view to the park in front. The room was nicely furnished and the bathroom was modern and impeccably clean, with a big shower. The swimming pool area in the garden looked a bit worn, but the pool itself was very clean, and it was beautiful to be able to swim after a hot day. Also, we were able to use the pool area after our checkout, as our flight was only late at night. Breakfast was very good and there were lots of different Indian and western options.

    Fabulous location opposite Chinese nets, close to all amenities. Good restaurants, cafes and shops all close. Tuk Tuk drivers outside give great tours very inexpensively. The swimming pool is lovely, surrounded by shady palms with lots of towels for the beds.

    Room 1 Alberquerque is huge, sparsely furnished with an unadorned yellow painted floor that needs re doing. It looks grubby. The aircon sounds like a tractor, shabby but not chic. Towels are not v white. We were moved upstairs to a much better room with teak floors, good quality Roman Blinds, some rugs and a better aircon. It was at the back of the hotel, no view but much quieter from street noise. The pool is lovely and sparkling clean but the surround is covered in bird droppings, one umbrella is covered in debris from trees. it could easily be cleaned up in the early mornings or after 6, it never was. One morning when the pool was full of people relaxing they brought the power hose to use on the single empty sun bed! Deafening noise! Staff are generally slow, breakfast is not immediately cleared from outside tables and crows settle on the leftovers. There is a ‘library’ of unwanted traveller’s books and used India guides. It is locked and I assumed that I could swap a book as is normal in hotels, but was told no, you have to read their books there, all are documented apparently?? I did not feel the desk staff were warm or welcoming unlike Dutch Bungalow. I asked to have a table booked at Malabar House, I was told ‘not necessary’, however, reluctantly she did as I asked. The dining room here is completely soulless and freezing cold. This hotel could be so much better. I have read reviews of similar complaints to the above. The hotel promises to address them but clearly the same complaints pop up and are not attended to. Once we moved rooms we had a lovely stay but staff need training.

    Great location Great staff Breakfast: excellent dosas and eggs cooked to order Heritage building Swimming pool and lush garden.

    Our room on the ground floor (’Albaquerque’) was huge, 50+ m2, but the aircon was incapable, the concrete floor was losing paint and was not fully clean, the bathroom was new but had no full walls to the rest of the room so every sound from there was heard all over. A historic building can have variations per room, but this was a bit too far from the pictures of the ’Heritage splendor’ room category on booking.com. The area around the pool was not fully clean mainly due to plenty of birds in nearby trees. The place gave a slightly faded impression despite many positives too.

    They had a great breakfast and the pool area was nice.

    They originally put me in a room full of mosquitos (I got five bites within being there for just five minutes) and the room did not get wifi. Nor did it have any natural light. The receptionist seemed bothered when I pointed all of this out. I finally asked to speak to the manager and they were able to switch me to another room. It was clear they had many other rooms available as the hotel was empty that day. Overall I would say this hotel is overpriced but the chef makes a great paratha for breakfast.
