Perfect stay in Fort Kochi

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at the Malabar House. The staff is warm and welcoming and they graciously accepted our request for a late check out. It is a beautiful property which is very well located.

I spent my last night in India at the Malabar House in Fort Kochi and it was quite the treat. I was upgraded to the Garden suite and the room was stunning from the fixtures to the artwork. The staff was friendly, helpful, and efficient. The food was fantastic! The hotel is ideally located just a block or two inland from the harbor and the fishing nets. Gorgeous property.

Good luxury option in central Fort Cochin

Amazing suite which you would expect at that price. While the restaurant is in a very nice setting, the food was a bit of a let down given the price.

The best hotel in India (out of 7)

I can't think of a single bad thing I could say about this hotel. They got everything right, down to the last detail. The staff are friendly and seem to genuinely care about their guests and are obviously proud of their hotel. Allen on reception in particular was a star.

Cute place. It's India, so don't expect much. Just be pleasantly surprised if and when it works out. Great art. Mediocre food. Decent room, but bathroom flooding issues, noise from the courtyard, and lots of mosquitos (not really their fault) prob pushes this down a few notches. Surprised this is a Relais property. But it's the price of a Holiday Inn at, like, the Cleveland Airport, so what can you expect? The colonial architecture and interiors were nicely done. Kerala is turning dry, so only beer and wine at the bar. And Fort in Kochi is really only worth your time for a night...it's a bit boring after you see all the standard tourist stuff.

Charming boutique hotel with great restaurant

This is a charming, historic, beautifully renovated property in the centre of the old part of Kochi, within walking distance of great shops, the Chinese fishing nets, and other historic buildings. The restaurant, in a central courtyard, was absolutely fantastic. We found the beds quite hard and uncomfortable. And we had some problems in the bathroom -- the hand-held shower unit pulled out completely from the wall, as did the control for the sink faucet. A bit of a surprise, given this is a Relais and Chateaux property. The staff was very apologetic, but didn't offer us anything to make up for the inconvenience. A nice hotel for India, but am unsure whether it's truly worthy of Relais and Chateaux status.

Hotel inaffidabile

L'hotel, contravvenendo a quanto dichiarato al momento della prenotazione, mi ha addebitato l'intero pagamento due giorni prima del check in. Al momento del mio arrivo, alle 21,30, prima ha finto di non sapere che eravamo tre adulti, poi di fronte all'evidenza dei miei documenti, ci hanno raccontato che il soffitto della nostra stanza era crollato e che quindi ci avrebbero trasferite a un altro albergo analogo, il Fragrance Nature. Sebbene quest'ultimo non sia risultato pienamente di nostro gradimento, in quanto assolutamente pacchiano e in posizione molto meno comoda del Malabar House da noi prenotato, avendo già forzosamente pagato in anticipo, siamo state costrette a fare buon viso a cattivo gioco e ad accettare. Non mi era mai successo primo d'ora un comportamento così scorretto da parte di un albergo prenotato tramite Hotels.com. Vi prego di prendere provvedimenti, perché la sottrazione di soldi dal conto non autorizzata è fatto gravissimo.

中庭で毎日インド音楽のライブが夜８時から１０時まで騒がしい。

その後スピーカーで１１時まで音楽を流している。本来静かに過ごせるホテルを期待して６泊予約したが３泊。後の３泊は系列の他のホテルに避難した。

Not worth the price

The hotel was good and we enjoyed our stay, but I wouldn't consider it worth the price we paid. You can get much better price/quality ratio arpund Kerala elsewhere. However the hotel is one of the few on the area which has alcohol license.
