Cranganor History Café & Riverside Château

gorgeous location by d river

room for improvement for food specially the breakfast

Beautifully kept resort, friendly staff and delicious food! We really enjoyed beyong so close to the river.

Bear in mind traffic can be quite busy - trips to Fort Kochi and Allapuzha backwaters took a bit longer than planned.

Professional helpful staff, service levels, location, cleanliness, choice & quality of the food.

Nothing

The calm and peaceful ambience .. The staff .. and the cleanliness

One of the street lights kept shining inside the room during the night.. and there was no way to block the lights

The location along the river is scenic. The food is good and you can try local dishes. It’s small and the staff is helpful. The cultural performances were a huge highlight and lifted the hotel from a very decent 3-star to even 4-star

We were asked to pay in full in advance. They were fine in the end for us to pay on checkout. Just wish this was handled more normally like other hotels.

I recently stayed at Cranganor History Cafe & Riverside Chateau, for my last night in India after 9 weeks of travelling. A great final stop & a place I would like to have stayed longer. It’s in a great location on the backwaters north of Kochi, with a lovely garden, swimming pool and hammocks slung between shady trees. There is a lot to explore in the area as well. The two rooms that we had were lovely, with very comfortable beds, nice linen & great bathrooms with good showers. On to the food… delicious! Unfortunately we were only there long enough for one lunch & supper. For supper we had a Kerelan prawn curry & fish (kingfish) baked with spices in a banana leaf. Both were excellent. A huge plus are the staff at Cranganor - who are all so friendly, helpful & kind and really create the lovely atmosphere there.
