Kochi

Rooms are a little tired and need a reno. We opted for one without a fan...big mistake, should have got one with ac. A fridge in the room would be nice as would more plugs to charge up your electronics. the existing ones (all two of them) are so old that plugs fall out. Why only one chair on the balcony? 
No where when we booked did it say it was cash only for payment, which I was a bit miffed about. And if you haven't got the right money don't expect change! A very nice area of Fort Kochi, with a few improvements and upgrades I would stay here again. 

Great Value in Fort Kochi

Ivan supplies dangerous bikes which are unfit for the roads, let alone off road which was our plan for these Himalayans.
Day 1 I had to return the bikes 4 times in 24 hours to get them roadworthy, which delayed our trip byb24 hours.
On one bike the suspension failed after 4 days, the rear brake was metal to metal after 300km, the rear brake light and indicator didn't work and the clutch seized.
The front knee guard lost a bolt and then broke off. Several bolts came loose and the bike had poor levels of power.
We lost 1 day at the start and two whole days in the middle of the trip recovering the bike and getting them fixed.
When the guard fell off and the power was poor we ended our trip a day early.
Ivan does not believe his bikes are bad - this is a very dangerous attitude and you should never hire a bike from him.
When we returned to complain today, he had been drinking and was very beligerent, only refunding us 1 days hire.
Happily Riderly we're on hand to help us out otherwise we would have been stuffed

Small family homestay in central Fort Kochi. Ivan and his family are always welcoming and are always happy to arrange things around Kochi for you to do and see. He's a keen biker and has mototorbikes for hire and organises mototorbike tours of Kerala. He'll book you a backwaters trip or a tuc tuc tour of Kochi. 
There rooms are basic but very clean with hot water and a homemade Indian or continental breakfast available for a nominal extra cost. 
There's a communal eating area outside the rooms with a TV should you feel inclined. 
The one thing that I'd say needs attention is the paintwork in the rooms which is looking very shabby in places at the moment. Time for a facelift! 
Bathrooms are spacious and clean. 
These rooms are up two flights of stairs but someone will carry your suitcase if it's big and heavy. 
Highly recommended for a friendly, helpful and very budget friendly stay in Fort Kochi that's centrally situated within a few minutes walking distance of shops, restaurants, the harbour and fishing nets. 

Perfect budget friendly homestay with kind and helpful hosts. 

Really good place next to the beach. The host was very helpful and arranged our stay on short notice. The rooms were well ventilated and had mosquitos nets installed. It’s a short walk to the beach and other attractions. Highly recommended.

Great home stay at prime location

My husband and I stayed here for two nights last week. Our room (no.102) was comfortable although a lot of ants! The ceiling fan was adequate. The balcony was very nice.
The homestay is in a nice location, a 2 minute walk to the Cathedral. It is ran by a friendly family who can help book tours and tickets if required.
We hired a motorbike for an afternoon which I felt was a little pricey (500 rupees), but an easy option for us.
A nice stay.

Family-run homestay in a good location

The place is nice, cheap, owned by a nice family, inhabited by a nice room with a porch. You don't have to wait for someone to clean the room and change the towel, but if you close your eyes to it, the hotel will be fine for 2-3 days.

It's a good place.

The attention of Ivan and his family was incredible.On arriving they welcomed me very kindly and handed me a map of Fort Kochi to park and show me the most touristy places and how to get there.They also presented me with a series of activities that I could do during my stay which is incredible as they say the costs and make the reservations directly.The breakfast is local and quite generous.The room is comfortable and is according to the price paid.Very well located, noisy, free wifi, family atmosphere and recommended for all types of travelers.Hello!

This is excellent!

I stayed for a total of 3 weeks in December and am about to return for a further stay. Of all the places I have stayed, this has been the friendliest and the cleanest. Ivan and his lovely family go out of their way to help you, and the Keralan breakfast that Rene cooks is amazing.
They have a variety of rooms. The older ones have balconies but older bathrooms, whilst the newer ones dont have balconies but super bathrooms. All have clean sheets and towels and shiny floors!

The best homestay in Fort Kochi

I stayed at i1 and rented a bike from them. Both proved to be a mistake the accommodation was unclean with stained sheets and the selection of old poorly maintained bikes is extensive. Mr Joseph simply could not care for his guests comfort or well being.

Horrible

My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights recently and we were blown away when we arrived at how great the facilities were - excellent value for money.

The room itself had a modern feel to it and was very clean and spacious, as was the bathroom which had hot water.

Great location, just around the corner from the Kerala kathakali centre and close to local and tourist restaurants.

We had breakfast at the hostel one morning which was also fantastic and a good price.

I would highly recommend this hostel for your stay in fort Kochi. If there was more to do in Kochi itself we could have stayed here for a lot longer!
