Old Lighthouse Bristow Hotel

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.

Stayed at the hotel with my wife and child. The Hotel was under repairs. The restaurants were being renovated and the spa was not function. The Hotel made every effort to make our stay comfortable. They gave a free upgrade. The view and the location was excellent. They also arranged spa treatments from another location nearby. The pick up and drop off was already arranged. The food is decent a wee bit over priced as compared to others around them. There breakfast service was very slow. Apart from that the stay was good. The staff are just lovely and very very respectful and helpfull.

Total disaster! Stay away, and look for a more nicer and affordable place. This hotel promised a lot; but truth was moldy bathroom, bad smelling room with poor housekeeping. Your privacy was not respeted, when do not disturb -sign was on, the staff still kept knocking on your room for minibar refilling. Buffet breakfast, pillowmenu, fruit- and cookie platter promised on arrival. Never happened. You cannot get so old and grey looking sheets and towels anywhere else. Changed a room and both room lacked bathrobes. Got them after asking, but they promised it is included. Forgot to bring toilet papers (which were the worst quality ever seen in any place) as part of the housekeeping... Pages of hotel directory were so dirty, and were not wiped after complaining. Just take a good advice, because there is lack of management, employees are so lost and unsupervised. So much so, that on the last evening, the older male housekeeper put insect killer spray to all our luggage and clothes. We couldn't notice this until in the next destination, cos he has also sprayed another spray to cover this act. You might think me and my wife are out of our minds, but this is a true horror story.

This is very good heritage property and charming. The staff is very caring and helpful, though the provision of services for a small hotel like this can be improved.

Fint hotell med extremt tillmötesgående personal. Terassen med utsikt över solnedgången över Arabiska Havet med en kall öl och utmärkt tilltugg passade utmärkt för mig. Nära till allt i Fort. Rekommenderas för den bekväme lycbackpackern.

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.

everything is OK but you may suffer from noise of a/c.

Chambre confortable, un personnel très disponible et un excellent restaurant. Possibilité d'organiser vos visites (Backwaters, Munnar) avec la réception de l’hôtel. Les "Chinese Fishing Nets" à quelques pas.

Hotellet ligger med en dejlig udsigt

A notre avis l'hôtel le mieux placé à Fort Cochin (le seul avec vue sur le mer). Très bon rapport qualité/prix, personnel attentif. Seul bémol : la restauration pourrait aisément être améliorée (on aimerait bien avoir du poisson grillé de bonne qualité, par exemple).
