“An oasis hidden amongst the historical sights of Cochin”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

Calm, serene, clean, warm and friendly; that's the Capital Anchor Hotel! Dawn breakfasts overlooking the harbour with the sunrise casting over dug-out boats, fishing boats, tugs and container ships sharing the water is not to be missed. Similarly the sunsets and all from the airy balcony of the dining area! The staff are very courteous and Sree; the manager, could not be more caring and helpful. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Sree's suggested local fish curry - superb! The beauty of the hotel besides its facilities (including the wonderful pool) is it's locality. Within easy walking distance of the main historical sites of Cochin, the ferry to Ervankulam or a tuk to Jew town for that retail therapy moment (or 2) what more could you ask for! I loved it and WILL surely be returning!

Room Tip: Go for the upstairs rooms and lounge on the marble balcony just outside the rooms gazing across the...

“Fantastic Place at Fort Kochi”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

This is a Heritage building and there is some natural elements in this building, so there is not much to complaint about. I really love the excellent view of the Fort Kochi.....ships and boats ferrying now and then while you dine at their open deck restaurant. Even though their menus are limited we did have a decent dinner, thumbs up to the chef. The room are big and has decent space to walk about. Bathroom looks pretty new and spacious. There is a reasonable size swimming pool to just relax and soak yourself. After the swimming pool towards the back, there is an open space to walk along the water front, its so lovely, but not too safe for kids, additional safety bars towards the lower side of the railing will be of good help. Generally its a fantastic place to stay, as its a walking distance to Vasco-da-Gama square and beaches of Kochi. Take this lovely walk and keep snaping pictures of everything you see...You can come from all over the world, but this is Fort Kochi as it is. I would like to thank the staffs for their warm welcome and hospitality during out stay and most of all our Great thanks to Sreekumar Perozhi (manager operations), for making us feel very important and confortable throughout our stay. Cheers.

“A pleasant place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

I thought it had a great location. Rooms were nothing special and the bathroom had nowhere to put dry clothes on the wet-all-over floor. The staff were lovely, very friendly, and the chef cooked us a wonderful meal at very short notice. The free internet was a bonus. I would stay there again.

Looked after our restricted diet very well.

· All staff are very friendly, efficient and courteous.

· We had a lovely relaxed time by the pool.

· In future at Fort Kochi, we will prefer this resort and will recommend this resort to other people in Australia.

“good hotel can becoem a great boutique hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

we stayed for a day here. its called the capital anchor house and not th anchor house as stated here. this property has a great location as it is situated in the fort kochi area with excellent sea views with the taj malabar on the opposite end of the shore.the service as usual in kerala is excellent. people are friendly and always at help. wish the management does something to upgrade the rooms to a boutique category since they look just basic. bathrooms are an issue as they arent well planned. also they should start the swimming pool which was empty. this hotel could become one of the best in fort kochi cause of the location and the beautiful hotel outdoors they better do up the room interiors the food is good and the chef is very cheerful.would advise families to stay away till the time they upgrade. all in all could have been better but for a day i didnt expect much.
