Despite me having 5 e-mails to the establishment that i was arriving late (2 am) there was no attempt to organise entry. I had to sleep on the floor outside the apartment that morning. The apartment was comfortable and value for money but it was showing its sge. There was no internet and tv was inoperable. I had the apartment to myself but it could have got pretty crowded if all the rooms were occupied.

Some initial problems with missing room key Moved to another room unable to sleep due to faulty air conditioning noisy motor.Things settled down when we got our room key 2 days later. Still enjoyed our stay.

The third floor apartment has three bedrooms and a well kitted out kitchen. There's also dining and sitting areas. We were fortunate because we had the whole flat to ourselves which was great. Had others been there we would have found it difficult. You would be sharing a flat with total strangers and very little privacy. Our toilet did not flush and wasn't repaired while we were there. We used the other toilets which did. They removed Rs 500 from the bill but there was no hot water, brown water came out of the shower and the toilet smelt. All the staff in the hostel down stairs, who are there if there are problems, are charming and very helpful as was Mary who did our cleaning. No card payment only cash. This might work for some people but not for us.

Very helpful host who made our stay comfortable. Good kitchen with tea, coffee, sugar, drinking water and milk provided - was lovely to be able to make a cup of tea in the morning! Access to fridge. Entire building kept clean. Owner automatically topped up anything that ran low. Very very helpful owner who gave us information about the Cochin Biennial as soon as we arrived and went out of his way to get us a map of Fort Cochin. The wifi stopped working at one point (fault of the network, not of the owner) and the owner sorted it promptly. I traveled with my mother who had knee pain and the host, who also owns a shop and art gallery, brought us an Aryuvedic knee oil free of charge (which did help!). Quiet apartment despite prime location. One of the best places we stayed at during our travels - would highly recommend.

This was a lovely clean place to stay where they went above and beyond what was expected. The room was clean, relaxing and had everything you needed and it was great to have the shared kitchen and living room to use as needed. Even though there was troubles with the A/C staying on, they were happy for me to switch to a room where the A/C was working well. The great thing was they were nice enough to offer me rides to well recommended restaurants and to even get bread for toast in the morning. Nothing was a trouble and when I was not leaving until 6pm but had to check out in the morning, they allowed me to come back in the afternoon, get changed and wait until my taxi arrived. Well worth the stay while in Kochi if you are looking for great location, a clean place and great hosts!

Super place, highly reccomend it. Perfect location. Huge apartment!! Helpful friendly welcoming staff. All round hit!!

We were in a different apartment from the pictures, it was nice but not as nice as the pictures. Due to the fact that no email was provided it was difficult to reach anyone for any assistance like the Internet shutting off at 11pm and the air conditioning not turning on since we did not have an Indian phone. However, the people we did interact with were nice and having a kitchen to make breakfast for a change was nice during traveling about.

It is located right in front of the Chinese fishing nets. Good location, comfortable, and most of all a homely stay. The place was clean and was good value for money (especially when Kochi is a place with high prices). The only drawback was that it did not have a clear sign. We were confused upon arrival. Just look for Rampart homestay and Vedanta. That is the place.

Cheap and ok for our quick stay over in Cochin

I spent over a week at this shared apartment, although many nights I had it to myself. There is a hostel next door & a hotel/restaurant on the other side but it is not noisy once inside. I had the more casual of the two apartments, but I enjoyed it. Large rooms, a/c in the bedrooms. Ceiling fans in the living areas. Very gracious hosts.
