Request clean towels, never happened. Food in restaurant distinctly average. Great room, great view though

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Did give the hotel highest scores across all areas required.However, we did find the food disappointing- not enough variety at breakfast, and the one evening meal we had there was very bland. Maybe it was our choice which was at fault, but I've never had bland vegetarian food in India before.Also, the view across the sea incorparates industrial buildings […] very prominently. I wouldn't let this put you off, jut be prepared to look the other way, and eat elsewhere at night. Read more

Absolutely wonderful place! Couldn't have found a better place which had an old colonial feel and was on the beach. Wonderful view from the hotel of the sea.

We are delighted to have discovered this hotel. We stayed for only one day but have resolved now that we will return for a longer stay.The location, hotel setting, the beach view, the service and the good food are a real treat for a vacationer.

Good hotel in the area of Fort Kochi right at the beach, spacious rooms, attentive staff, only a five minute walk to main shopping street, good breakfast, the only big minus point: hotel pool was not well maintained and the chairs looked worn out, so not nice for swimming

Beautiful restored old building with exquisite rooms. Opening our door on the first floor, we had full view of the Arabian sea and magical sunsets. The staff are sweet and capable. Breakfast is great. Definitely a place to remember and return to.

We are thrilled to have experienced staying at the Old Lighthouse Bristow. Far from the hustle and bustle of Kochin's touristy side, but within walking distance of everything, including Princess Street, where shops sell pretty souvenirs. Our room was clean, cozy and smelled fresh. Bonus - we got a free foot massage! Two thumbs up for this charming […] hotel in Kochin. Read more

Very helpful staff who work hard to meet every need. Great location by the sea and an oasis from the Cochin melee.

We loved staying at the Old Bristow. Our room was huge and very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Being able to sit and watch the magnificent sunsets in the evenings was a pleasure and the all the activity of Kochi was just a short walk around the corner. Tuk Tuks are always at the gate of the hotel willing to take you around the sites. […] I would certainly recommend the Old Bristow to anyone. Don't forget to have a massage while you are there!

Nous sommes arrivés à l'hôtel le vendredi , la piscine était dans un état d'insalubrité déplorable. Le manager nous a affirmé que tout serait règlé le lendemain matin...que des mensonges, tout les jours, le personnel s'affairait à tourner autour de cette piscine en faisant semblent de travailler...mais 5 jours plus tard elle était encore dans le même […] état. La chambre (villa piscine) est spacieuse ainsi que la salle d'eau. Malheureusement le service de ménage est incompétent. Le petit déjeuner est bon mais servi avec une lenteur pas possible. Il nous a été offert un plat de fruit de mer à la fin de notre séjour pour nous dédommager de notre mésaventure...la encore, les promesses de crabes, de Tiger prawns etc... sont résumés à quelques crevettes, 1 mini poisson et 5,6 rondelles d'encornet...bref. Un très belle hotel, malheureusement très mal géré...ce qui fait de cet établissemement un endroit à éviter. Read more

Fantastiskt läge vid stranden, att sitta och se ut över havet och alla människor på stranden och känna vinden svalka en var oerhört härligt efter en varm dag.Hotellområdet var också fint ,med lite natur och en pool att svalka sig i.Nära till restauranger och sight-seeing och mycket trevlig personel. Mycket bra rum men ej super rent det dög dock. Återvänder […] gärna, mykcet valuta för pengarna. Read more

Hotellet er et restaurert kolonihus som ligger rett på stranden i Fort Kochi, like ved de kinesiske fiskenettene og St Francis. Hjelpsom betjening som ordnet transport til flyplassen på under 10 min klokken 4 på natten når bestillingen på dette ikke var blitt skrevet ned et par dager før.

Juste parfait par rapport à mes attentes : bel endroit, chouette ville, personnel très à l'écoute, chambre superbe (bungalow).

Freundlicher Empfang, Zimmer sauber und grossräumig (Haupttrakt), Guter Ausgangspunkt für Fort Kochin zu Fuss zu entdecken. Preis eher hoch.

Friendly and helpfull staff that did the best for us when we arrived in the middle of the night. There are both negative and positive things to say. Cleanliness is not the best dirty wooden floors Bit depressing poolarea not inviting to have a swim. Next to dirty beach that we never used. Hotel has an old story from british era so it is uniqe. Need […] for a firm woman hand in management. Interesting but a bit sloppy brealfastbuffe. Remember to bring the freezedried coffe. Beside from this sour remarks the hotel works incl AC and you can have a nice stay and a good sleep. Read more

Es war eines der schönsten Hotels in Indien. Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Beim Frühstücken konnte man den Meeresblick geniessen. Leider war das Wasser von der Poolanlage nicht so sauber. Die Umgebung vom Hotel war nicht schlecht, wie überall in Indien sieht man Schmutz und eine Strasse führt hinten am Hotel vorbei. Cochin selbst […] hat man in 3 Tagen gesehen. Read more

Ett trevligt hotel med trevlig personal och god mat. Service bristfällig, kanske beroende på att det var nyårshelg men då tycker man att rummet skulle ha kostat mindre, inte mer än en "vanlig" helg. Det fanns ingen rum service under helgen, och vårt rum städades inte under 3 dagar. Man fick be flera ggr att få t.ex handdukar eller annat som saknades […] i rummet, det gick snabbare att hämta det som saknades själv. Priset på rummet är för högt i förhållande till brist på service. Read more

Beautifully located hotel in Fort Kochi. Some flaws in service just after arrival (sunday's brunch cold, fish and chicken almost gone 45 min before the closing time) and some misunderstanding by waiters the next morning. After subsequent talk to the manager everything was corrected and we got a a very good, personal service. Very good daily breakfast. […] Excellent fish for my birthday's dinner. The only problem was lack of Internet connection 5 out of 6 days spent at the hotel. Read more

Das Hotel hat seine besten Jahre hinter sich. Die Zimmer sind abgewohnt, die Wände voller Schimmel. Das Bad war außerdem bei unserer Ankunft nicht oder nur sehr ungründlich gereinigt, die vom Hotel zur verfügung gestellten Handtücher waren schmutzig und verschliessen. Der Service war relativ freundlich und flexibel, der organisierte Transport zum Airport […] zuverlässing und recht günstig. Das Hotel liegt relativ nahe zur Innenstadt (ca. 10-15 Minuten zu Fuß) und direkt am Strand - dieser ist allerding vom Hotel aus nicht zugänglich, da durch zwei Mauern abgetrennt. Read more

Dit hotel heeft aan meer dan onze verwachtingen voldaan. Het einde van de Ramadan betekende veel mooi aangeklede mensen op het strand. Vanaf ons balkon konden wij dat allemaal goed zien. Kinderen waren aan het vliegeren, de vliegers werden de volgende dag door jongens weer uit de boom gehaald. Ook het feit dat de koeien op het strand kwamen eten van […] de waterplanten en daarna in het water gingen herkauwen, dit alles tussen de feestende mensen, was een unieke ervaring. Verder was er in de directe omgeving veel te zien, de chinese visnetten, kerken, synagoge, spicemarkt, de oude stad en het bisschoppelijk paleis met daaronder de fundamneten van het oude fort. De tuktuk brengt je voor weinig geld langs alle bezienswaardigheden. Het hotel is een echte aanrader. Read more

写真にダマされてはいけません。 見た目はちょっとおしゃれですが、なんともお粗末なホテルでした。 泊まったのは2階の端の一番広い部屋でした。 ダブルベッドにエキストラベットを入れてもまだ余裕があるくらい。 しかし、そうじがまったく行き届いていませんでした。 一番驚いたのは、トイレにおいてあるゴミ箱がチェックイン時点で空でなかった（前の人のゴミが入ったままだった）ことでしょうか。 もともと海辺で湿気は多いのですが、それにしてもふとんがジメジメで気持ち悪かった。 屋外のプールは水たまりと化していました。 朝ご飯はないないづくし。選べるメニューの中の半分以上が「ない」。 卵の付け合せで出てきたトマトには死んだ虫がついてました。 だいたいお客が少ないからこんなに手を抜いているのでしょうか。 3人で泊まるのに、コップも石鹸もタオルも、なかなか持ってきてくれないし。 スタッフが感じ悪くはなかったのが唯一の救いでした。 しかし、他は救いがたし。 見た目は味気ないですが、その後泊まった「killian's […] boutique hotel」のほうが よっぽどコストパフォーマンスがよかったです。 Read more

I never had bad breakfast in my life. Bread was like stone. Indian can not make westen food. Room was good. Slow service.

Ho soggiornato al Old lighthouse per 12 giorni e mi sono trovato molto bene. Il personale è sempre stato disponibile, gentile e professionale.

Chambre très belle et grande salle de bain. Un plaisir de se réveiller le matin avec le bruit des vagues. Bien situé dans le centre historique de Fort Cochin. Environnement sale sur la plage et vue sur les barbelés de la caserne voisine. Piscine en mauvais état avec le carrelage qui se décolle. Eau ne donnant pas envie de s'y baigner. Personnel aimable. […] Hotel calme. Petit déjeuner assez limité quand au choix. Bon rapport qualité prix Read more
