We stayed in Oy's home stay (above Oy's cafe) for six nights. Taj home stay had taken our reservation, but was not even open anymore. After arrival they told us some story about maintenance work that needs to be done and took us to Oy's home stay. We were there during off season. The service was just not existing since... More

Had a wonderful stay at Oy's homestay around New Year's. The rooms were spacious and affordable, even while we were there during peak holiday season. The staff was really kind and welcoming, and the downstairs restaurant was a great place to hang out and get breakfast (also the milkshakes are delicious!). One memory from our stay that really sums up... More

Oy's is located just across the road from Kachi's Art Cafe. It's a relaxing place and even has a library! Laid back and perhaps not as attentive as Kachi's it's definitely worth a visit.

Wow, what a cool and chilled out place. Low seating with pillows so that you can kick back and drape yourself into a slumber. Really friendly staff. Food and drink prices were low. Fresh mint lime juice and ginger and lime juice were incredibly refreshing, and the cold coffee, the best I have ever had - runny enough to be... More

We ended our five weeks in India at Oy's in Kochi. We really enjoyed our stay at this guesthouse, our room (a twin) was huge, with a sofa and TV! The bathroom was also large and clean. I think the rooms are usually around 800 rupees but we paid 600 (they were initially going to put us up in a... More

We read about Oy's in a travel guide on Cochin that is published in the UK. When we got to Cochin, we approached Oy's for rooms and was impressed with the reception area which comprised of a small hotel style desk set in the backdrop of the owner;s (house) lounge. Note that she has several buildings operating under the name... More

Stayed at Oy's Place above the cafe for 1 night before flying out of Cochi. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable and had the option of ac. There was little to no noise considering you're above an eating venue. The staff are all very pleasant, with the 2 brothers/owners on hand to help, we were even taken to view... More

The place was clean and really nicely decorated! The food was fantasic and came out relatively timely considering the restaurant was full and there is only one chef. The staff are friendly and helpful and Mathew who runs Oy's Cafe is especially great. I really enjoyed my time there and actually didnt want to leave. Thanks Guys! :)

I like this place, it feels homely, with a touch of style, nice chill out eating area, good coffee, a little library with magazines, and a bit of thought into the decor and the food and the serving of it, nice dishes and so on. One of my favourite hangouts in Fort Kochi, friendly owners, opposite that coffee shop, Kashi... More
