Welcome to Koder House. Koder House is a three-story heritage boutique hotel opposite the beach at Fort Kochi, Kerala, India. Until recently, it belonged to the most illustrious Cochin Jewish family, the Koders. This House had been a host to Presidents, Prime Ministers, Viceroys, Ambassadors, Nobel Laureates, Hollywood Directors and prominent dignitaries. This dwelling also finds a prominent place on Intach's list of heritage sites, and a visit to Fort Kochi is considered to be incomplete without a visit to this historic monument.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.

Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
I spent one night at Koder House Hotel in February 2023. It was difficult to book online - websites will tell you that there's no vacancy. Calling the hotel from the US was also not helpful as front desk staff are not so fluent in English. Finally I found out that I had to book through Granary Activity Stays.
The home is old and historic. You'll see walking tours stop at the entrance and guides tell the tourists how special that home is. So there certainly is a charm to it.
Staying in a very old house can have its drawbacks. Something is always breaking down, something always needs to be repaired. So the home is not in 100% excellent condition. You'll see things here and there which need attention or could be neater, but I did not feel unsafe.
Breakfast is included but it's very simple. There is no buffet. You order fruit, tea/coffee, toast with butter/jam, and eggs. There is a restaurant on the ground floor called Plan B and there's loud music until 10:30PM. So book early to get a room on a higher floor if noise is an issue for you. The website claims to have a restaurant called Menorah, but I did not see this when I was there in person.
It would be great if someone could give us a tour of the house. I also suggest having some family photos up on the wall, so we can see the people who used to live there. Another idea - name the rooms after illustrious family members.
Koder House staff are really special. They went above and beyond to help me. Their personal touch was very much appreciated. I especially remember Varghese and Marvan.

This stunning property is nothing less than a heritage monument of the bygone era. The rooms are adorned with antique furniture, flooring and ceiling. From the property one can witness the landscape of Fort Kochi. It is a treat for historians , cultural and architectural enthusiast and for all those who would like to experience a royal trip. Also the service and hospitality by the staff is amazing, rooms are huge with a separate dressing room and a huge bathroom. Also breakfast can be enjoyed by the poolside in a serene atmosphere. A must visit place!!!

Me and my wife stayed in Koder house just for one night, as a transit passenger. Stay was good except for the kind of dampy smell in our bed room, but the interiors n furnitures, cleanliness compensated more than for this flaw. Wooden staircase n flooring were simply outstanding and so the common lounge was. As at present hotel is not having any restaurant services, tasteful breakfast could only be provided by caretaker Mr Vergeese. Overall good and satisfactory stay.
