We read about this hotel in the Alastair Sawdays Special Places to Stay guide book! As mentioned in the book the place is indeed a hotel with character! The rooms are very simple and clean. They have a big and beautiful garden studded with clay figures and a great Restaurant by the waterside! Their Restaurant serves the best seafood and has the best location in cochin. It is just lovely to sit at the jetty and watch the boats and ships pass by! They also have a very good ayurveda center.
I am a ayurveda fan and have been taking the stress relief massage whenever i get a chance! So I must say that the massage that i got there was really one of the best!
Unique Quality: Great Location . Big and cool garden. Simple and clean rooms. Best food in India!! Good ayurvedic spa!

This magnificent building stands as a testimonial indicating the transition from colonial to Indo-European architecture. It was built in 1808 by Samuei Koder of the Cochin Electric Company.
Koder House is actually now a boutique hotel, but this three-storeyed building opposite the beach at Fort Kochi is a landmark for visitors, and is pointed out with the same reverence as the Francis Church or the Chinese fishing nets. Until recently, it belonged to the most illustrious Cochin Jewish family, the Koders, who were the 'uncrowned business tsars' of Cochi for over a century. The house was visited in its heyday by Presidents, Prime Ministers, Viceroys, Ambassadors and other prominent dignitaries.
Even if you can't afford to stay here, take a look at the exterior, and I believe the restaurant is open to non-residents.
Just a little way from Princess Street, on the corner of Bastion and Rose streets, is Vasco House. This sixteen century house is believed to have been the residence of Vasco da Gama and is also one of the oldest structures of Fort Cochin. The European glass paned windows with balconies / verandas are characteristic of colonial times.
Like Koder House, Vasco House is now a hotel and is run by a family who also have a cafe and tourist info centre. If you can't afford to stay here though, the building is still worth a look.

Great Location . Big and cool garden. Simple and clean rooms. Best food in India!! Good ayurvedic spa!
