Old Lighthouse Bristow Hotel

Paid £80 a night after a discount for a garden suite and for quite an expensive hotel in this region it was a disappointment. Staff were not very interested in service. Despite often the being several in the dining room you had to work hard to get any attention. Food was basic cafe style whether western or Indian. I have been travelling and working in India for 10 years and the standard here was well below that I have come to expect for this price. No Internet at any time I was there over 4 days despite being constantly told it would be working shortly... Be aware that I didn't see anywhere in the town with anything like a fast connection. Ok if you really do want to ge away from it all....

Loved the location in Kochi, was walking distance to sights and restaurants. One of the two rooms booked had trouble with the AC, and after a half hour attempting to fix it, the staff quickly moved us to another room. Lovely views of the sea, and the grounds were in excellent condition. Service at the restaurant was a bit slow, but nothing worth really complaining about (just don't expect speedy service).

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.

Very comfortable hotel, pleasant staff, wonderful views of harbor and beach.

We are delighted to have discovered this hotel. We stayed for only one day but have resolved now that we will return for a longer stay.The location, hotel setting, the beach view, the service and the good food are a real treat for a vacationer.

Beautiful restored old building with exquisite rooms. Opening our door on the first floor, we had full view of the Arabian sea and magical sunsets. The staff are sweet and capable. Breakfast is great. Definitely a place to remember and return to.

We are thrilled to have experienced staying at the Old Lighthouse Bristow. Far from the hustle and bustle of Kochin's touristy side, but within walking distance of everything, including Princess Street, where shops sell pretty souvenirs. Our room was clean, cozy and smelled fresh. Bonus - we got a free foot massage! Two thumbs up for this charming hotel in Kochin.

Very nice hotel and friendly people

Very helpful staff who work hard to meet every need. Great location by the sea and an oasis from the Cochin melee.

We loved staying at the Old Bristow. Our room was huge and very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Being able to sit and watch the magnificent sunsets in the evenings was a pleasure and the all the activity of Kochi was just a short walk around the corner. Tuk Tuks are always at the gate of the hotel willing to take you around the sites. I would certainly recommend the Old Bristow to anyone. Don't forget to have a massage while you are there!
