We stayed for 2 nights in Room 1 (the suite) which is nicely furnished and the four poster bed was very comfortable however the room is at the front of the hotel and therefore somewhat noisy. The shower head could do with a good clean out as only about half the holes were working. We were told that the hotel... More

We stayed there for 3 days at the end of Feb 2012. Friendly staff. We had room 2 which was above the archway. Old Portugese style building with dark wood interiors. Our room was lovely - well furnished with a 4-poter comfortable bed. Plenty of room. Large bathroom with good shower. Air con fine and ceiling fan. Even wireless internet... More

We stayed here for 2 nights when travelling around Kerala in January 2012. We tried at first to get a room at the Old Courtyard Hotel, based on the reviews we had read on here. There was no availability, but the hotel offered a room at Kavu House, a homestay property that they also run that is just a few... More

This was a very nice hotel in a lovely setting. Staff were very helpful. I stopped in a superior room and was not disappointed. We also viewed the suite which was very nice too. I would have preferred to know in advance that this was a dry hotel so could have prepared myself for the lack of alcohol. On the... More

This hotel was a really good choice and lived up to my expectations. I stayed with my mother for 3 nights and our room was lovely; simply furnished with antique furniture, spacious and light. A good bathroom with plenty of hot water. We found the staff helpful and friendly and our waiter at breakfast each day was a delight. We... More

We stayed not at the Old Courtyard, but in the Kavu House which is 300 meters away from the hotel. It is a beautiful restored and furnished vacation rental operated by the OC. We liked it: it has more privacy, no noise from dining guests. And it is huge, not the room but the kitchen and living. It even has... More

We took a side trip up from Kovalam for a long weekend and couldn't have made a better choice - this hotel is a lovely little place, only 8 rooms and a comfortable well situated place to stay. We were given a room at the top of a spiral staircase in the corner of the courtyard and it was a... More

A delightful haven in the midst of Fort Kochi's shops, restaurants & site-seeing. The food was good but we also enjoyed Shala, Kashi & Malabar House for a quiet coffee - round the corner are FabIndia & Anokhi (old favourites) for clothing & textiles. Rose and her staff were so friendly and helpful - even when we returned a week... More

We didn't stay at the Old Courtyard but ate there a lot, having been taken there by a local friend who used to go to parties there when it was a private house. The food was always absolutely delicious, reasonably priced, and served in a cool, quiet, music free oasis from Kochi's noise and heat. Our children loved it and... More
