Amritara The Poovath Beachfront Heritage, Fort Kochi

After two weeks of travelling through Tamil Nadu and Kerala, we ended our trip at Amritara, and were so happy we did. Very spacious rooms, comfortable beds and large bathrooms gave us the comfort we needed to wind down and prepare for long journeys home. The area is quiet and within easy walking distance to busier parts of the town. Breakfast was ok, but service was slow - fortunately we had leisurely morning for this, but it wouldn't work for those with less time. Service was wonderful from Nancy, who accommodated our late departing flight with a late check-out - being able to shower prior to heading to the airport made all the difference!

It's a dutch home. Authentic food. Look for sea view rooms. Super cool staff. Must visit.

We were expecting a more up market looking place but soon any disappointment faded - the location opposite the sea and next to the old dutch cemetery was easy, the breakfast was generous and good, the hotel staff were very kind and helpful. We had a room upgrade and were allowed a late checkout. I grew to really enjoy our room and verandah in this small heritage hotel. I'd check out the group's hotels in other locations. Thanks to the manager and staff.

Questa vecchia e suggestiva dimora é accogliente e lo staff è attentissimo e gentile, pronto a soddisfare ogni richiesta. La posizione è centrale ma silenziosa. Unico disagio: spazzatura che brucia sulla spiaggia, il fumo talvolta invade la piscina.

Poovath is a small boutique hotel with excellent staff courtesy and cleanliness. Would definitely recommend for a quiet getaway to fort kochi.

Front desk staff were fantastic - couldn't do enough for you. Confirmed our train ticket, arranged taxis, contacted onward destination. Excellent breakfast

The hotel was not up to our expectations of a heritage hotel for the money we paid. The bed was not very comfortable, we thought we would get an inner spring mattress. You also had to let the shower run for 10mins before any warm water came through . The breakfast was also very average. The staff however were very friendly and welcoming and helpful with questions.

Leider hat das Poovath Heritage Hotel von seiner früheren Grösse enorm viel eingebüsst. Komfort, Service, Sauberkeit lassen zu wünschen übrig. Die Zimmerpreise sind viel zu hoch. Dieses Hotel kann ich mit dem besten Willen nicht weiter empfehlen.

Old building renovated beautifully. Lovely pool. Staff seem to be still in training mode but very willing. Good experience - would definitely stay there again

An Oasis, it was lovely, the staff were delightful, warm and friendly, polite and just couldn't do enough for you. I will never forget their warm friendly smiles. we loved the place so much we spent the last day of our travels in the pool garden before our flight home. we met some fellow travellers here and they ranged from young lone travellers to older couples touring, everybody enjoyed and relaxed. sitting around the pool was the best place to listen to other travel stories. lovely.
