We had read so many good reviews about Jenny, Jose and Le Royale that it seemed foolish not to use their service. One of my better decisions! Quite simply, we had two weeks to see Kerala. I put the whole thing in Jenny's hands and with her suggsted itinerary, all went smoothly. We saw Munnar, Periyar, Allepy, amongst other places.... more

Want to be looked after? Want excellent service? Want fabulous food? Everything about Le Royale is perfect. Jenni, Jose and the boys are the very best hosts. We had 3 stays here in our month in Kerala and at the end of the holiday we just wanted to stay for longer. Our driver, Sajeev, was amazing, our font of all... more

We had an amazing stay at Le Royale and throughout Kerala (Munnar, Periyar and Allepey, including houseboat) and Madurai, all arranged by Jenny, who, with her husband, owns Le Royale and operates a small travel agency. Jenny is warm, friendly, efficient and very welcoming. She organised our trip brilliantly - after the initial email enquiry, she followed up by phoning... more

Jenni and Jose are the perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them or their staff. Hari's breakfast and dinners were superb with a huge variety of dishes, well complemented by Dilip's excellent assistance and service. Our room was large, with an adjoining dressing room, a huge bathroom and a small area for sitting out. The guest lounge/dining... more

Le Royale is a really nice private home, originally built by the owners for family visits form abroad. Since two yearsit also receives visitors. It is not a hotel, nor a standard B&B, it is so much better. The bedrooms as spacious and there is also a very grand communal room for the guests to use. It's ideal for families... more

We stayed at Le Royale for two days last month and agree with all the positive reviews already listed. Jenny was a wonderful hostess. Her staff is attentive and the meals were true banquets. We felt treated like royalty. She planned a week tour of Kerala for my husband and I and each place she picked (in Munnar, Periyar and... more

We only got to stay at Le Royale in Cochin for one night in December. It was such a lovely place with such lovely hosts we truly wish we could have stayed longer. Jenny and Jose, are so caring, its like staying with family but at a really new and well kept home that is actually a hotel. Spacious, including... more

We stayed at Le Royale for two nights last December and it was the best part of our trip to India. We booked our tour of Kerala through Jenny and Jose (the couple running the guesthouse) and they did an amazing job. From the moment we arrived in Cochin, our driver Gopan was waiting for us and took us right... more

We were in Cochin over the holiday season (December 2007) and could not agree more with the reviews that were posted on tripadvisor. Le Royale was one of the best places that we stayed at while travelling through India. The mansion is amazing, immaculately clean, and very spacious with great bathrooms. The food was terrific. Don't eat too much on... more
