    Think we may of liked to have the option of having a later breakfast would have been nice. Being woken up at 8am on holiday is a little early for us!! 8am until 10am would be great

    The old court was in a great location, pretty street. Staff were excellent, friendly and very helpful.

    A very special Heritage Hotel - which promises a bit more than it can keep.

    For Indian standards, value for money is so, so. Breakfast is heavily overpriced; the third day (after having extended our stay) we started to eat our own food, which was accepted. Be sure NOT to get the upper rooms in the side wing; they are tiny, horribly hot (because of the ribbed roof), and the A/C is blowing directly into your sleeping face. First floor room was fine.

    Excellent location on Tourist Lane in Old town Fort Kochi. Friendly and helpful staff, although their English is limited, but Meena makes a great conversation partner. Refreshing pool in the court. Impressive colonial merchant's shop and warehouse architecture.

    There were some communication difficulties. A slight sense that care and maintenance needed attention.

    The location was good and the room was comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel organised a good boat tour.

    Great location. Beautiful property with lovely authentic period furnishings. The garden/courtyard is a charming tranquil spot with the added bonus of the small plunge pool. The staff are super helpful - I was not well during my 2 night stay (nothing to do with the hotel) and the staff could not have been more kind and attentive. Thank you.

    Breakfast wasn't included in the room rate/price

    Lovely old building with character and atmosphere and really friendly staff who were cheery and helpful like Beno. Sigimol prepared me delicious breakfasts in the mornings that were good value for money- fresh fruits, fresh watermelon or pineapple juice, omelette, toast, jam and honey, and coffee foe 300 INR. I made use of the pool in the afternoons which was nice. Great location too. I highly recommend this hotel.

    During our stay, sadly the pool was in an abysmal state, although the staff tried over the time of our stay to get it cleaned, it remained green and murky.

    Great location right in the middle of middle of Fort Kochi, lovely heritage building with room decoration and furniture according to it. Staff is friendly and d as we arrived very late at night, it was not an issue getting in our room straight after arriving. There are a few good places to eat in easy walking distance

    Characterful and a good location but lots of technical issues.

    Although old and characterful there were technical issues with the power going out about 4 times, and no water hot or cold for more than 10 hours. The building has old plank flooring so you hear your neighbours talking and walking everywhere. The open courtyard allows loud voices to travel everywhere. I could here the staff talking loudly at the front desk. Smoking is allowed in the courtyard and poolside. After traveling all day I arrived late and was told I could not eat there nor could I the next morning as they needed to plan for it. No elevator. Gaudy plastic Christmas decorations. Electrical plugs need an upgrade. No free bottled water.

    Probably the cleanest hotel I stayed at in India. Friendly staff. Great location. Good wifi. Good air conditioning in room. Mosquito netting. Very characterful.

    The lighting in the room wasn't the most effective. Given the tall ceilings on the top floor, I think better lighting would benefit both visibility and ambience. Just 2 well placed floor lamps in the room could help drastically.

    Situated in the heart of Fort Kochi, walking into the hotel is full of old world charm with modern amenities. I love the fact they have water refill stations on every floor. The small plunge pool was lovely to take a dip in after a walk around town. Close to lovely restaurants, cafes and stores, I look forward to coming back and staying here again!

    The Old Courtyard is absolutely gorgeous and surreal, and felt like a heritage home rather than a hotel. That being said it had all the usual amenities of a hotel - great linen, furniture, turn down service etc. I ate my meals outside but this was not a problem as the hotel is surrounded by lovely cafes and restaurants. I wanted a very relaxing vacation that felt like a break from the day to day, and thats exactly what I got here, with Mr Wilson and the rest of the staff always available for any help I needed.
