Hotel located in a small street in the French Quarter, little traffic in front and therefore little noise. The structure seems old, but it is very well kept and the rooms are large, tastefully furnished with period furniture. Maybe only the bathroom is a little poor, but everything is there apart from the hairdryer. The only thing, you have to wait a long time before the hot water flows. Good Wi-Fi.
The safety box is missing.
You can also eat well in the restaurant.
It is one of the hotels we liked most on our tour. I recommend it without hesitation.

Wonderful experience at this great location in Fort Cochin. The rooms are comfortable and very clean, the staff is very attentive and the neighborhood is ideal. We're in the middle of a historic district. The house of Vasco da Gama is next to the hotel. The neighborhood is safe and rather pedestrian (very little vehicular traffic) I highly recommend this hotel.

Lots of beautiful spaces to choose from. Each suite has its own intimate day bed & lounge areas & large comfortable bedrooms with air conditioning and ceiling fans. Breakfast is served fresh under the rooftop verandah after you have had a wonderful sleep breathing in fresh Sea breezes. During festival times select front rooms, with a balcony. It was delightful to be able to see what is happening in the street below! Especially during the New Year festival period. A local family run business, with very caring, polite & helpful staff on hand to be of assistance. Wonderful location, with local hospitality!

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights bed and breakfast in April 2024. Very comfortable stay - rooms clean and practical- slightly dated but functional.

The hotel manager was extremely helpful in answering our questions and recommended some great restaurants to eat. Had a great stay and would highly recommend

Fabulous location in the quiet streets walking distance to the fishing nets, shops and cafes of the area.

Had a really good stay at The Arches - good room, hot water, working TV, really lovely reception staff who went out of their way to help us in any way. And very friendly.

Breakfast was standard (eggs, fruit, toast, cereal plus spicy options) but plentiful.

Two things to note: we were initially given a room at the back which had the noise of the kitchen fan and generator from very early until late night. But we were moved after the first night with no problem to a street facing room - much quieter.

Also we believed (as per the hotel website) that there was a roof terrace restaurant. This was a deciding factor in choosing the hotel - but in fact this is a desolate storage area and not somewhere to sit and relax.

So despite the good points and great staff, when we return to Fort Cochin in a few weeks we have booked a different hotel. If you aren’t concerned about outdoor space, then highly recommend The Arches.

The location of the hotel is very good. The hotel could use some upgrade. There is no Elevator (Lift) so request a room in the first floor so you have to climb only one floor. The TV did not work and the shower controls were difficult to manage. The Rasoi restaurant food was very good. It was Okay for a one night stay. They arranged a Taxi to take us to the airport in the morning. They also gave a packaged breakfast since we left before the breakfast buffet opened.

In hotel Arches I found a nice accomodation with good location and infrastructure and especially very helpful and openminded people. I was very happy to stay there. I wish I could have stayed longer. The restaurant Rasoi nearby is another gem.

This hotel is in a great location and not noisy. The staff could not have been more helpful right from making booking to departure and everything in between. There were 10 of us and they went out of their way to make things easy for us. We arrived from an overnight flight and and although they couldn't have 5 rooms ready for us early they had 3 and people had somewhere to go and get washed and rest. We needed early breakfast one morning and they opened the kitchen early for us.
The rooms were clean and having a reasonably priced restaurant in the building was extremely handy. The food was also very good!

This place is ideal for exploring Fort Kochi. It is centrally placed without being too noisy. The rooms were large and clean although the outlook is on to a wall which has very helpfully had a mural painted on it to brighten it up. The staff were super helpful and pleasant. We didn’t have breakfast as had to leave early the next day for a plane so cannot comment on that but they made us a packed breakfast. The restaurant attached is very popular and quite expensive for what it is but the food is very good. It is worth booking a table here as big groups seem to use it and you cannot assume you will get a seat.

A five star review and a one star review combined. The majority of the hotel is excellent: helpful staff, lovely building, great location, and the best breakfast idlis I’ve had so far in India. But the walls are paper thin, at least as far as Room 102 goes, meaning you can hear everything happening in the next room. And that, for me, is a fundamental flaw. If you’re not bothered about being kept awake, this is a five star hotel.
