Sarovar Hotels - accommodation in Kochi

Fantastic hotel, lovely individual rooms with private pool and novel outdoor bathroom. Staff were excellent and loads of complementary activities. The restaurant was very good. Highlight was Gardener who took me round his lovely vegetable and fruit garden. Best hotel on our trip.

Stayed at The Fern Kochi for one night before starting a 6-day trip through Kerala and it was a solid choice. The property has a cool vibe and feels a bit different from your typical hotel, which I liked. Some parts are a little dated, but everything was clean and worked well, so it didn’t take away from the stay. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout, which made things easy, especially for a quick stopover. Food was ok, nothing over the top but definitely reliable enough for breakfast. There's a better option for dinner around the corner. One thing to keep in mind is that it’s a bit isolated and near the port area of the city..you’ll need a car to get around or into the main parts of Kochi. That said, it also makes it quieter and more relaxed. Overall, a good, easy stay and a nice way to kick off a longer trip through Kerala.

Lovely historic hotel in the prime location of Fort Kochi. Excellent location to explore the city, with many of the attractions within very short walking distance. Two out of three nights we had dinner in the courtyard restaurant. Dinner was excellent with plenty of Kerela seafood options. At 4pm tea/snacks are also served in the courtyard which we would recommend. Staff were excellent and were very attentive to our concerns. The building itself is 400 years old and is very well maintained for its age, however some rooms do need some maintenance. The staff assured us they would take care of this during the off-season.
