It was a quaint little place with very friendly staff. The restaurant was covered but had no walls / no AC. Also, they do not have a liquor license so they do not serve.

Clean, friendly staff, quiet hotel
Clean, centrally located, yet quiet hotel by the beachside. The building has a delightful architecture with helpful and friendly staff. The mattress could’ve been more comfortable but in the grand scheme of things it wasn’t a big issue. I even got a nice goodie back at my hotel check-in. Would definitely stay again if I’m back in the area.

We had a great stay. The hotel is a beautiful old heritage home on the water with great rooms, decor and service. I will stay again in the future.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were very helpful and welcoming ti the property which was a converted dutch house. Rooms were snug but clean and comfortable. Mosquitos were a bit of a problem but they were treating this every day which helped a lot. Good selection of food for breakfast with some hot cooked fresh inclusing masala dosa and eggs (any preferred way). As we had an early flight home they packed us breakfast which was very kind. Use the hotel organksed spa for ayurvedic massage/facials which was great. Location was right in fort kochi so was convenient to walk around the area.

Good stay
This hotel was good—looks nice and rooms are nice. The staff is very helpful and very accommodating—even with our middle-of-the-night checkout/departure. The food menu is somewhat limited but that's not surprising given that it's a small place. Our bathroom had a bad sewage-type odor when we arrived but it seemed to have been fixed after housekeeping. I'd stay again.

Clean and comfortable stay in Fort Cochin
The room was very clean and spacious with a nice separate sitting area. The hotel is located quite close to the waterfront, and not too far from several shops and restaurants. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay here and would return again.

Great service
After two weeks of travelling through Tamil Nadu and Kerala, we ended our trip at Amritara, and were so happy we did. Very spacious rooms, comfortable beds and large bathrooms gave us the comfort we needed to wind down and prepare for long journeys home. The area is quiet and within easy walking distance to busier parts of the town. Breakfast was ok, but service was slow - fortunately we had leisurely morning for this, but it wouldn't work for those with less time. Service was wonderful from Nancy, who accommodated our late departing flight with a late check-out - being able to shower prior to heading to the airport made all the difference!

heritage hotel
We were expecting a more up market looking place but soon any disappointment faded - the location opposite the sea and next to the old dutch cemetery was easy, the breakfast was generous and good, the hotel staff were very kind and helpful. We had a room upgrade and were allowed a late checkout. I grew to really enjoy our room and verandah in this small heritage hotel. I'd check out the group's hotels in other locations. Thanks to the manager and staff.

Great staff but otherwise disappointing
The hotel was not up to our expectations of a heritage hotel for the money we paid. The bed was not very comfortable, we thought we would get an inner spring mattress. You also had to let the shower run for 10mins before any warm water came through . The breakfast was also very average. The staff however were very friendly and welcoming and helpful with questions.

An Oasis, it was lovely, the staff were delightful, warm and friendly, polite and just couldn't do enough for you. I will never forget their warm friendly smiles. we loved the place so much we spent the last day of our travels in the pool garden before our flight home. we met some fellow travellers here and they ranged from young lone travellers to older couples touring, everybody enjoyed and relaxed. sitting around the pool was the best place to listen to other travel stories. lovely.

Could have be "Great"!
The service staff for the most part was great. Warm, friendly with the exception of some staff at breakfast who clearly did not want to be there serving guests (female individual) and made for a less than good start to the day. Overall the cost and quality was as expected and again, general service was attentive and friendly. The ONLY very odd item is their "mandatory eat with us policy for New Year's Eve" which was wrong for two reasons: 1) It was not on the hotel.com site when we booked in July. 2) No hotel should make this a "mandatory" item. We are there on vacation, not at the whim of business requirements. This left a very sour taste in our mouth for the remainder of the trip. Finally, while the amenities were clean, I do no believe they properly sterilize and clean their pool filters. Each morning, I can see from my room that they add water and pick up leaves but no chemicals were measured. tested or added. In India, with water quality as risky as it is, this should be "mandatory"

Great heritage property
Terrific sense of history well located to the venues of the Kochi Biennale! The room on the ground floor just looked into a wall with no view and little natural light. The hotel has no liquor license. It's best to request one of the rooms on the upper floor facing the Sea.

Lovely hotel, but standard rooms are tiny.
The building is lovely, but we were in a standard room and they are very small. To get to the bathroom required walking around the end of the bed and to do so required walking sideways, as the gap between the end of the bed and the wall is very narrow.
