good boutique hotel in the central location. it's very calm staying here. room is very neat and clean. location is best.

Fantastic location more than makes up for some niggles in terms of facilities and maintenance (broken toilet paper holder, water from room cleaning pooling outside the room, no hooks for hanging clothes in the bathroom). The house has a lot of character and there is a nice seating place on the terrace. As a homestay, this is really good, as long as one doesnt expect the same level of service as a hotel. The best part is that it is within walking distance of most of the interesting places in Fort Kochi, barring the Synagogue and the Dutch Palace.

My room wasn’t ready at noon. I had to wait 4 hours as the previous guest was late checking out. I was put in a lower room untill it was available. The staff was helpful

Brilliant room and location. The staff were extremely diligent in cleaning thw whole building. Also provided good service. The only downside was the mosquitoes, but everything else was near perfect!

The hotel was in an excellent location in the centre of Fort Cochin. Our room was basic, but comfortable. I booked a garden view room, but we got a room that looked onto the road. The staff werent often present at the hotel, and werent there when we checked out. They had said the day before they would be there in the morning to book us a taxi to the airport, but were no where to be found in the morning.

Hotel is in wonderful position in a quiet road just off the central area. Rooms are small and basic but ok for price. We arrived to see the New Year celebrations and were in the ideal place to walk to them.

We booked a budget/backpackers room and I can only say that I wouldn't have housed my pet pig in there. It was filthy, stank of damp and mothballs, and any wood e.g. bathroom door was completely rotten! One tiny window was completely unclosable, leaving great gaps for the mosquitoes to get in. It was a tiny room, where the bed was jammed in between the two end walls and pressed against the wall on one, long side and no mattress cover! The door to the room did not fit and was only closable by a padlock from the outside and a bolt from the inside and had gaps you could have posted letters through. We were in there for a week and the room was not cleaned, bin not emptied, or fresh bedding/towels offered even once. The bathroom was filthy dirty with mould and dirt marks on the floor and up the walls and who knows what the drain cover hid! There were no cupboards, drawers, wardrobes or even coathangers - the only piece of ‘furniture’ you could mention, was a filthy beach chair and a plank of wood nailed to the wall, mentioned as included in the facilities as a ‘desk’! This also mentioned that there were complimentary toiletries, which in fact was just one bar of soap, 2 inches long by 1 inch wide.. We couldn’t even make a cup of tea or coffee and had to wait until 9 am for the local café to open every morning before we could even get a drink! I could go on and on, but there's not enough character allowance! See some pics below of just the bathroom.. you can imagine the rest!

Shocking, you get what your paying for but I’ve seen better prison cells

Really nice small hotel in a great location close to the everything in Fort Kochi. Hotel is a old converted house and retains a lot of charm, very comfortable and clean. Good comfy bed and good wifi. Great value for money would stay here again.

This Hotel probaly has the friendliest owner and staff that you could want. Hotel is minimalistic cold water for basin, but shower is brilliant, bed comfortable, room is cleaned when you give the keys{padlock} to the lads in reception. WIFI is good, Cold Water in Fridge is free, Air condition is cold and also have a fan. Had an occasional water pressure drop, adn one power cut {came on in 10 minutes, workman working on the line} For the price its great

Niyati is located in the centre of beautiful Cochin. Its a stylish place, but it needs little work. The suite was comfortable but it got just a little natural light. The bathroom needs some renovation. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Good location in Fort Cochin but the place is very basic. I booked the King suite which was advertised at 2,250 per night but the room is not worth even half of it! Extremely dark, dirty very smelly and solid bed linen and bedding. Smelly towels and not even a bottle of water in the room. The room faces the main road and it was very noisy and could not sleep all night. Moreover, it backed a kitchen and all the frying smell was coming into the room. Not a pleasant stay and I left in a hurry the next day. By the way I checked the prices for the next two nights out of curiosity and they were going for ONLy 900 rupees for two nights. I pointed this out to the receptionist and he was really shocked. The owner has indeed been very understanding and he did not charge me for the night.

A great little place close to all the places youd want in Fort Kochi. The room was lovely, big and clean. Only slight issues were that wifi didnt reach to the room, had to use communal areas, and we had people in the room above us, when they walked around was loud in our room. Would return though.

Rare to find such a modern aesthetic in traditional architecture. Loved the location, stay and service. Awesome bathroom. ;) Some milk powder sachets in the room would have allowed us to make our own tea.

Wonderful staff, clean and well located!

The room is okay except the door of the room. It has a few gaps which you can see through easily. Wifi signal on and off sometime. The staffs are very friendly​ and helpful.

The price worth this boutique hotel and then the place makes us feel crowds. Very good hotel!! Thanks a lot.

Staff was amazing and helpful.

We had the room without A/C and with a very dated bathroom. Too hot really. The more expensive A/C rooms are worth the extra money. Nice decor and artwork, nice furniture, way above the average in India / Fort Cochin. Not a homestay though and when we were there there was no breakfast. However, just around the corner are so many places to eat, it does not matter.

We stayed there for 3 days first in the non AC room and next 2 days in the delux AC room. All the rooms were clean and the delux AC room is super . The staff were very friendly and helpful .

The room was nice. There was a terrace on top to spend time in good company. The staff is wonderful. Ten hours after the check out we had to return there to arrange a taxi drive . They let us go in, use the toilets several times, use the wifi and charge the mobile batteries. They were absolutely gentle and hepful. I had a very good stay at Niyati home stay.

My boyfriend and I stayed in a superior room for three nights and we loved every minute of it! This hotel is incredible, from its relaxing design to its hot shower and lovely staff. The location is in the heart of fort kochi, great walking distance to restaurants and sightseeing. The best part is the service, they are so kind and helpful and they really made us feel like home. The free wifi is decent and the tv is amazing, it's got a lot of movies and tv shows in english. I really can't recommend this place enough!

Fantastic boutique hotel, great location and helpful staff
