We were so pleased to find out that all the wonderful reviews on this page are true. We were picked up from the airport by Delight's lovely driver Wilson in his amazing ambassador car then met outside by the fantastic owner and host David. David and his wife Flowery run a beautiful guesthouse set in a peaceful colourful garden. They... More

A beautiful, calm and welcoming place to stay in Fort Kochi. The house is a gorgeous and well maintained building set in pristine gardens in probably the best location in Fort Kochi. David & Flowery, the owners, are welcoming, friendly and extremely helpful - a pleasure to deal with, very knowledgeable and recommended some wonderful things to do in Kochi.... More

David and family were excellent hosts for our family for three days. The rooms were sparsely decorated but very comfortable. The garden was the highlight with so many beautiful orchids. Breakfast was simple and adequate, served on a long table to facilitate conversation with the other guests. Location is perfect, just a short walk from the fishing nets or the... More

We stayed here twice, once on the ground floor and then again on the first floor; the first floor rooms are nicer, more expensive, but worth the extra. Beautiful quiet, tranquil gardens and a host who is really lovely, just moments away from the busy little streets around the waterfront, and the many restaurants; location could not be better. Breakfast... More

We stayed at Delight in mid March 2013 and had a lovely 3 days. The building itself is charming set in beaufifully kept gardens, and even though it's right in the heart of Fort Kochi it's wonderfully peaceful. We had one of the cheaper rooms on the ground floor, so not the best on offer, but it was very clean... More

I guess our stay at Delight was okay, but for the price we expected a little more. The rooms on the top level (2500r) have no balcony and no common area to just relax and talk with other guests. It means that you end up sitting in your room which is a shame and not very social. We also felt... More

When you walk past the gate a lovely, quiet refuge awaits. The location is perfect - just a short walk to the Kerala Cultural Center, Oceanos Restaurant and the busier parts of Fort Cochin. There were always interesting travelers around the breakfast table all assembled for a nice spread of fresh fruit, eggs, toast tea and coffee. David and Flowery... More

What a beautiful building. Ask David how he came to own it. Good rooms, good a/c, lovely staff, great location, a good sociable breakfast and all in a classic Fort Kochi building. The only downside was the flaky WiFi which David is working on sorting out.

We moved to Delight from nearby Chiramel, after reading all the reviews about this place. Our room was spacious and welcoming. Although it may seem that a room upstairs with a balcony is more attractive, the downstairs rooms are wonderfully cool, with no need for AC, and sometimes not even a need for a fan. The breakfast room in the... More
