I recommend this hotel with excellent location and very good restaurant. More particularly thanks to the restaurant staff, especially J Lenin and JP Ganesh who are excellent. Thanks to them and their advise we could see the dolphins along the coast. They are excellent staff dedicated to the customers.

Un îlot de calme et de fraîcheur au milieu d’une ville qui tend à devenir assaillie par l’insistance des tuk -Tuk et des vendeurs!

Hotellet ligger direkt vid havet och solnedgångarna är helt magiska. Personalen vet vad service är och gör allt för att vistelsen skall bli utmärkt. Det enda lilla minuset är att Internet accessen är lite svajig ibland.

Nice food, beautiful rooms and location (Right by the shore, you can see Dolphins out in the sea in the morning) and the staff are great too! If you are staying in Cochin, stay here!

Un vrai plaisir de prendre son petit-déjeuner en regardant les dauphins jouer dans la mer! Très calme et agréable, proche de tout! J’y retournerais!

I was looking for a hotel for a longer stay in order to recover from a long and tiring year. The Old Lighthouse Bristow is a piece of history and the opportunity to stay in a former British residence. It is clean, tidy and was exactly what I was looking for. I do like food! Breakfast had a small buffet selection together with a selection of freshly cooked hot options, such as omelettes and the chefs daily choice of Indian breakfast. Dinner is fine dining of a high standard and there is a wide selection of dishes which are excellent - as is the wine!. All the staff were polite and courteous. Most days started at the pool side after breakfast and then it was a five minute Tuktuk drive into Vasco de Gamma square or an excursion determined by the Tuktuk driver! There are Tuktuks outside the Hotel and the drivers are all friendly and will take you exactly where you want to go if you insist, but really prefer to give you a tour - go with the flow, it will cost you a few hundred Rupees or a few dollars are quite acceptable.

The Old Lighthouse Bristow Hotel is an absolutely stunning historic hotel in Fort Kochin. It is in a superb location within walking distance of the Chinese fishing nets and many local restaurants and beer halls. It is also just a short tuktuk ride away from many tourist destinations. The hotel is beautiful and you are greeted with fresh juice upon your arrival. The rooms exit out to overlook the ocean, which is beautiful for the evening sunsets.

Bel hotel en bord de mer qui laisse apprécier le ballet des entrées sorties dans le port de Cochin, le jeu des dauphins ou les sorties des pêcheurs. Brise marine très appréciable compte tenu de la chaleur, tout comme la qualité de la cuisine et du service. Proximité de restaurants et boutiques de Fort Kochi, sans l'effervescence de la ville. Définitivement une bonne adresse!

After 3 weeks touring SW India on a motorcycle this was a great place to unwind for a few days. The staff were all very helpful, the restaurant overlooked the sea, where something was always happening, and the room was very comfortable.

We had an excellent time at the Old Lighthouse. Great rooms, good food, lovely pool, great views overlooking the sea, goo staff with a better command of English than elsewhere we had stayed in Kerala, close to the main sites at Fort Kochi with local tuk tuk drivers waiting nearby ready to give you an excellent tour of the area (seriously good). Only minor downside was their Wifi was not great.

We stayed only a couple of days, but had the feeling as leaving our friends. The hotel is perfectly situated to visit Fort Kochin on one hand and to enjoy quiteness and a beach view on the other. The (indian) food is exeptional and our room was spacious and nice. If we should ever get close to Kochin, we will visit the Old Lighthouse again for sure.

Fantastiskt läge vid stranden, att sitta och se ut över havet och alla människor på stranden och känna vinden svalka en var oerhört härligt efter en varm dag.Hotellområdet var också fint ,med lite natur och en pool att svalka sig i.Nära till restauranger och sight-seeing och mycket trevlig personel. Mycket bra rum men ej super rent det dög dock. Återvänder gärna, mykcet valuta för pengarna.

Hotellet er et restaurert kolonihus som ligger rett på stranden i Fort Kochi, like ved de kinesiske fiskenettene og St Francis. Hjelpsom betjening som ordnet transport til flyplassen på under 10 min klokken 4 på natten når bestillingen på dette ikke var blitt skrevet ned et par dager før.

Juste parfait par rapport à mes attentes : bel endroit, chouette ville, personnel très à l'écoute, chambre superbe (bungalow).

Did give the hotel highest scores across all areas required.However, we did find the food disappointing- not enough variety at breakfast, and the one evening meal we had there was very bland. Maybe it was our choice which was at fault, but I've never had bland vegetarian food in India before.Also, the view across the sea incorparates industrial buildings very prominently. I wouldn't let this put you off, jut be prepared to look the other way, and eat elsewhere at night.

Hôtel sympa et bien situé. Piscine très agréable. Service un peu long au petit déjeuner mais la terrasse face à la mer est plaisante et tout était bon.

Absolutely wonderful place! Couldn't have found a better place which had an old colonial feel and was on the beach. Wonderful view from the hotel of the sea.

This rustic hotel is situated in a great location in Fort Kochi. Most of the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Although the complimentary breakfast did not have a wide variety of selection, it is adequate and satisfying. The only negative points would be that the à la carte meal portions are quite meagre for dinner, given that you are paying for regular local prices for it. Also, the rooms and bathrooms have a noticeably pungent stench to them. It was hard to communicate with some staff members who do not speak much English. The wifi is unreliable because of the local weather which causes intermittent to extended internet disconnection. The hotel assisted us in organizing a backwater tour which we thoroughly enjoyed. The hotel also arranged for a driver to take us to Munnar. Despite the few shortcomings, I would still recommend this hotel overall - it is worth it for the price and value considering the convenient location.

The Crews hospitality was extraordinary! Their kind- and friendlyness, helping in any way they could was just outstanding. I never met that kind of service during my 3 weeks in India elsewhere. It is obvious that the whole staff enjoys working there and they really are doing their jobs very well. Thanks again! Their efforts compensate the too few sun beds by the poolside. Next time I will stay at a bedroom with balcony giving view to the sea ;)
