Chiramel is positioned in a perfect spot, away from the noise of the restaurant streets, but next door to Dal Roti for delicious food, Fabindia and Anokhi for beautiful fabrics (these are the top two clothing stores in India, if you like colourful, high-quality, handcrafted items), and just round the corner from Oceanos, the best restaurant we visited in Kochi....

Very interesting, 300 year old building. Lovely hardwood floors. Rooms vary in size. Excellent location - everything was within walking distance. Basic breakfast. Clean. Helpful with respect to making phone calls.

Very nice breakfast, friendly staff and bountiful rooms. Big common rooms which give you a great opportunity to meet other people who are traveling around. Location perfect to see everything in lovely "Fort Kochi" ! Overall satisfied!!!

Last week, December 27th 2012, I called at this establishment, and asked to reserve two "heritage" rooms for January 4th. I spoke to the lady who seems to run the place. I explained that we were leaving Cochin that day but wanted one night's accommodation on Jan 4th before flying out. She offered the two rooms at 2000 rupees each,... More
