Great location. The apartment was functional and comfortable, with its own balcony. There is an option to store luggage for early/late check-ins. The host was very accommodating, providing plenty of local tips and going out of their way to help with our requests. Thank you especially for being flexible with our unusual check-in and check-out times. The host prepared a traditional local breakfast every morning - it was an interesting experience. Overall, a great place to stay – highly recommended!

The apartment is spacious with beautiful furniture and architectural gems. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. So much so that we ended up having part of it for lunch. It is a short walk to town too.

Slightly outside of Fort Kochin but still within easy walking distance.

Great place to stay. Loved having a little apartment with separate living room and a huge bed in the bedroom. Big breakfast. Staff very friendly.

Our host, Naresh and all of the staff were so friendly and attentive. The breakfast was the most delicious that we had on our entire stay in India. The sights of the city are nearby and easy to reach but a nice distance away, so you are on a quiet, secluded and peaceful street! We loved staying here!

This was the most beautiful and cleanest accommodation we have had in all over india so far. The staff was so friendly and made us delicious breakfast. The flat is very new, central and even has a little balcony/terrace. The location is perfect to explore Kochi by foot. Can only reccomend!

This note written to Naresh and Ruba sums up our experience: We are so happy to have chosen The Barracks Kochi for our stay here. Your breakfasts were extraordinary, your spirit refreshing and your company warming. We couldn’t have asked for better hosts. It was always a pleasant thought knowing that at the end of a long day of adventures, we could come back to your home. Thanks again for the wonderful experience

The service and breakfast was extremely good. The location is quite central, walkable and a bit outside of the chaos of fort kochi.

Very spacious and comfortable apartment.In a quiet street. Spotlessly clean. Excellent location for exploring Fort Kochi and for finding good restaurants in walking distance. Naresh was a very helpful host, providing us with a map and helpful tips via WhatsApp. The breakfast Naresh provided us with in the apartment was delicious.

I loved everything!

I loved absolutely everything. Naresh was a wonderful host and went out of his way to assist in every way possible. The apartment was fabulous - large, extremely comfortable, beautifully furnished with heritage charm, cute patio area, great location, wonderful breakfast which Naresh brought to our room (I can’t stop thinking about the coconut, cardamom and honey pancakes!). Everything was spotlessly clean. I really can’t recommend this place highly enough

Huge room…living room, kitchen, bedroom, dressing room and bathroom. Good location to walk around town. Our hosts were super friendly and helpful before and during our stay. The best thing about this place is the amazing home cooked Indian breakfast served out balcony.

We loved everything! The option to pay the bill by card might be appreciated by some but we just went to the atm around the corner and then paid cash.

Naresh met us at the door even with our late checkin. He was so kind and generous and quickly became like family.. meaning he took care of everything, as an aunty or uncle might. We felt so safe and loved by the exceptional food made with love 🧡 to start the day.. we returned a week later to collect our bags and stay another two nights- just for the breakfasts!! Naresh and his daughter helped us with train tickets- 4 trips to be precise even while we were away and didn’t charge us any extra for this very convenient help… straightforward, honestly nothing was too much trouble..

If the bathroom (shower section) were a little cleaner, there would be nothing to complain about our stay

* The warm welcome of the owner * He gave us useful tips and helped us plan our trip * Ask him for a private (English speaking) Tuktuk driver to get around the city. He will arrange that for you.

The bathroom was not that very clean but it was acceptable haha

The host was very attentive so that you can get help from him anytime you need. The breakfast was way beyond my expectation. You can taste the real Indian food which makes you full and satisfied. Although the property is not close to the sea side, the location itself is very good. I will definitely visit here again.

We had a lovely 4 night stay at The Barracks. It is a comfortable room and we were very grateful for the aircon. We had some concerns about mosquitoes after hearing they could be quite a problem (in reviews of other properties) but Naresh was very helpful and gave us a mosquito repellent and a plug in - we didn’t have any issues at all whilst staying there! The breakfast was lovely every morning and Naresh was very flexible, not waking us up when we had long lie ins and being very accommodating when we had to leave early one day. We were very grateful we had a good supply of drinking water whilst we were there. The kitchen and bathroom were quite basic but we didn’t do any cooking so it wasn’t a problem and we had hot water in the shower.

The location is very convenient to the old city centre. Friendly and trustworthy staff who are helpful. Breakfast is very good and served to your room. Good currency exchange rate is provided as well.

Excellent apartment. Very friendly owner who helped us book things such as airport transfer, did our laundry for us, gave good restaurant recommendations, and cooked us excellent breakfast delivered to our apartment

Would highly recommend the Barracks. Spacious apartment with a fully operating kitchen, lots of filtered water available and a comfortable bedroom. Our host was so friendly and helpful, and even assisted us finding some medication when we required it. Air con worked well which was very welcome in the Keralan heat and humidity. Make sure you don't book a room upstairs if you have mobility issues as there's no way other than the stairs.
