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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a small oasis in the old town of Cochin. It has beautiful decor, terrific staff and a nice restaurant attached.

Excellent place to stay in Fort Cochin. Walking distance to the town. The staff were excellent. Live music at dinner time was fantastic. Overall - A+. This is our second time at the Malabar House and will never stay any other place while in Fort Cochin.

I am a business traveller and usually stay at the Kochi Marriot, near Lu Lu Mall, or Taj Gateway; on this trip I decided to try an alternative hotel. I was not disappointed. From the airport pick up, with Wi-Fi in the vehicle and a helpful and informed driver, to the welcoming staff on arrival, the experience was much enjoyed. The hotel is an oasis after a busy day. The staff well trained and attentive. My dinner of Kerala seafood on the first night was delicious and beautifully presented. But be aware that if you want full flavoured, spicy Indian food you may have to ask - the menu caters more for a European palate.

Was there with family for 2 nights on a summer getaway. The location of Malabar House was great as we could walk to rhe beach, the church, the Kathakali centre & excellent neighbourhood restaurants. The rooms are spacious & have old world charm! The food was delicious though from a limited menu. The swimming pool was good enough for a dip in the hot noon hours!

Great colonial feeling in the Hotel. Fantastic staff and food. The pool and relaxing area very small. Make sure you get terass towards pool area. We will use this hotel when returning to Cochi

We had a great time , the staff are very friendly and helpful. The suit we had was wonderful, except that there is no glass in the Windows in the bathroom, but once you get used to it, it's fine. Everywhere was clean, although would not swim in the pool because of the location, right next the restaurant. Well worth paying a bit extra for the location.

This is a marvelous colonial hotel with a modern facelift that makes it comfortable and fun. The staff is nice. Juthin at the front desk took great care of us during our stay. The room was comfortable, and the menu at the restaurant was ambitious and pretty tasty.
The location was great and all in all our stay was perfect.
