3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2012 NEW

If you don't mind a few critters (bugs) taking over the bathroom at night, and no wifi or breakfast included, this isn't that bad of an option. We checked out rooms in nearby LP-recommended places--the 'Government Guesthouse', we were told, was only open to government workers, even though the LP lists it as a recommendation. The rooms in Sas Tower... More

Large clean rooms on the other side of the waterway, worth staying here if you need to be on this side. I would recommend to tourists to stay on the Fort Cochin side just for ease of getting around. Enough TV stations to entertain a sick traveller, and there is a small shop underneath selling water, snacks. During the day... More

We thought Bijus was a great budget hotel in a great location near the jetty. Bijus was our 3rd hotel in as many nights including the very noisy Saas Hotel next door. It was much cheaper than the others & much nicer. The staff were very friendly & helpful & some of them spoke excellent english. The internet worked well... More

We have stayed at Bijus a number of times, and have always found it a friendly and convenient place to stay. When we stayed most recently in January 2011, it was considerably cleaner and better presented than before - our room was clean, comfortable and more spacious than many budget hotel rooms and not expensive for air-conditioned accommodation. The front... More

Probably this please was much better, cleaner, friendlier before they got a review from rough guide... but now I don't think it's worth the price. Rooms are dark and not that clean really disgusting bathroom with full of roaches...

We've paid 750 rupees for a room with no AC. The place was drab and grey as was our room. The room was of good size but smelly and pretty damn dirty with few kukarachas scattered around a gross bathroom. No hot water and uncomfortable bed. Their food offering was minimal at best but not horrible. The owner (?) downstairs... More

For the price, I was surprised at the level of service I received and the cleanliness of the place. Better service than I've received at any 5 star hotel.

The place offers some very basic stay in a good location. The linen, bathroom all could be cleaner. Basic breakfast is available, though I didn't try it. The rooms r small. The location is the big plus point

The staff are so very friendly and helpful - nothing is too much trouble, and they have excellent English. It is a budget hotel,but the rooms are very... More
