Kochill - Relax & Stay -

The owner Mr Babu is a wonderful person so helpful the best

Everything is excellent

The owners, Babu and Kurumi, were a delight to talk to and very helpful. They let me check-in early. Filtered water is constantly available. There's a common area to meet other guests.

Having arrived from a freezing UK, I made the mistake of not checking if air-con was available. The description clearly doesn't mention it, so this isn't a criticism. The rooms did have fans, which given the heat, didn't help me. If I'd been accustomed to the heat, the fans might have been fine.

Quiet room with private bathroom, possibility to use common area upstairs. Very close to main sights of Fort Kochi and water metro/bus stop. Friendly and available staff.

Twin beds instead of double bed.

- common area with mosquito nets - spaceous room - good breakfast - in walking distance to the Fort

- We were offered a boat tour at the hostel. However, as we wanted to go to Allepey, we declined at first. The host said that we could simply get off the tour in Allepey and the boat would then return without us. So we booked the tour and were picked up on the agreed day with all our luggage. On site, the tour operator told us that the boat did not go to Allepey. When we contacted the host by phone, he made strange excuses and said that we could travel on to Allepey after the tour. However, this was not what had been agreed and we felt cheated. Fortunately, the tour operator reacted very professionally and we didn't have to pay for the tour. So be careful before you decide to book a boat tour from the hostel. It looks like the host simply wanted to earn the commission.

Good location and price. Very clean and the staff is super nice

Simple nice hostel! Safe and comfortable. The owner was so nice and helpful!

I really enjoyed staying here at Kochill and extended my stay to four nights. The room is a good size and very clean and comfortable. The upstairs common area was comfortable and a great place to talk with other guests. And the hosts Babu and Kurumi were always around and very helpful with travel arrangements and ideas for local activities. The theater and dance shows at the local Kathakali theater were fabulous.

Nothing.
