We booked double room before three months till arrival. Upon arrival hotel's owner asked to pay more, because they have only triple rooms. We refused to pay extra amount, so we was roughly scolded. After an unpleasant talk Double room "miraculously" appeared. I recommend you do not choose this hotel!

We had pre-paid for two rooms for two nights at Sonnetta Residency online and arrived in Kochi at 2am. The receptionist told us that they had made a mistake and only one room was reserved for us. He got another guy to bring us to another room at Casa Linda, located a few blocks away. The replacement room was unacceptable... More

We booked Sonetta Residence, based on a good rating in a well known travel guide, on the homepage of the residence. Once we arrived, my partner had gone ahead to change some money for the rickshaw ride. Thereby the owner asked her if we had reserved the place under my name, pointing to my name in his book. After she... More

All the good points mentioned by others. A clean, safe and well situated property in the heart of atmospheric Fort Kochi. The owner really cares about his customers and reputation... Its even reasonably quiet! No downside at all highly recommended.

Most accommodation in Fort Cochin is a Homestay, like Sonnetta, and Sonnetta is the perfect place to stay. We were there for 2 nights, and it was great. Our room was spottless, the beds comfortable. We had AC, a small fridge and TV. For the price you can't go wrong. Restaurants, the Chinese Fishing Nets and most of the old... More
