Be sure to check in advance that the pool is in working order. We booked tis place primarily because of the pool but arrived to find it filled with green water and 'under maintenance'. We stayed four nights and every day we were told by reception that the pool 'might be ready by tomorrow', but we saw no sign of... More

My partner and I spent three nights at this hotel as part of a three week holiday and enjoyed every minute of our time there. The hotel is lovely in an understated way, the room was simple, but completely charming and the wet rooms included really good showers and toiletries. We found the staff to be welcoming and helpful and... More

The hotel is superbly situated with wonderful views of the Indian Ocean, a glorious garden and well appointed rooms. The staff are friendly and helpful. However the hotel did not live up to its promotion. The SPA Deha is "under renovation" - but basically non-existent. A friendly 'spa-boy' offered a few luxury-priced spa treatments in the room . When he... More

We were happy when we found Bristow Old Lighthouse Hotel. The situation of this place is out of this world (see our photos). The staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms in the main building are big, with beautifull garden views.When sitting outside at the waterfront - in the morning watching all types of boats passing by, in the evening... More

Potentially this is one of the best hotels in Fort Cochin. With its seaview and the constant flow of shipping there's always something to look at. Even the Natural Gas tanks across the water add a certain sparkle at night. It's also very handy for the local sights. We stayed for a couple of nights at the end of March... More

We have just spent 2 nights in this hotel after spending 3 weeks touring india - and what a disappointment! The service is appalling, when we arrived no one greeted us or told us what was happening - when we left we ordered a car for the airport at 6.15am - they rang our room at 6am to tell us... More

Booked at the lastminute due to general strike. Stayed February 27th in 2 rooms, 1 in the main building and a pool villa. We found the large rooms to be very clean, well appointed with great bathrooms with proper baths. Free wifi throughout the hotel including in the rooms which makes a welcome change from some larger hotel chains. The... More

While well located, we found this hotel not a great choice for the cost. Although bedrooms were nicely furnished, but the hotel seemed a bit rundown - places actually seemed dirty. The pool area was not clean, the tile in the pool slimy and slippery. More

We stayed at the Old Lighthouse for three nights, the first two in a bungalow close to the pool and the third within the main house. The property is superbly positioned and of historical interest. Both rooms were clean, well managed and comfortable if a little tired. The hotel does not have a licence to sell alcohol but we were... More
