This property in Fort Kochi is simply amazing, super well located yet a calm and peaceful oasis from the wonderfully bustling streets. The rooms are tastefully appointed, the swimming pool is so beautiful we never wanted to leave it, the food is unbelievably tasty and the staff are simply amazing. Look no further, this is truly paradise.

Perfection

We stayed for 3 nights at this superb hotel.  It is beautiful colonial house, an oasis of calm in a tourist location.  The staff were helpful and polite.  The atmosphere is of being a guest in a country house rather than a hotel, with a wonderful wooden heritage decor. The food was excellent.  Yes, it is expensive, but well worth every penny.

Wonderful luxury stay at a heritage hotel

Built in 1506, this is the second oldest colonial bungalow in asia.  One of the earlier residents was Vasco de Gama who died here and was buried in St Francis Church before his remains were removed to Portugal.  Other notable resident was a French Naval officer Mahe de la Bourdonnaise who went north and coquered Malabar.   The bungalow was then used by Dutch officers before it fell to British.  1605 AD was possessed by the Dutch and remined in Dutch possession till 17th Century when it fell in British hand and remained so till 1947.  Many a Dutch, French and British colonial army and navy officers have stayed at this property

Present owners from France bought the property c. turn of the millennium and converted it in to a seven-bedroom resort with a swimming pool.  Each room is named after colonial officers who had made significant contribution in colonial times.  

Hotel Marigold series two was filmed in this hotel.  

Dining area overlooks the pool and overlooks the garden.  This is 
tastefully decorated with outside lights and is suitable for romantic evening dinning.  Cuisine is mixed Indian and European cuisine and all including bread and ice-cream if requested are prepared daily in house.

Rooms are attended to twice a day, in the morning for main cleaning and in the evening for turning down the bed.  Bathrooms are very spacious and each room has a shower and a bath.  

Staff are very friendly, attentive and meals are excellent and cooked to western taste.

This place is a must visit.  

 

A hotel with more than half a millenium of history

We just spend 4 night at the Colonial.
This historic house keeps on living thanks to the devotion of a family taking care of preserving the authenticity of this former colonial estate while pushing the standards at the highest level.
The furnitures and antiques have been selected with care, the atmosphere kept magic and the staff and managing team are incredibly pro and careful.

They make you fell like at home, with a step back in rhe colonial past.
There is nothing to change.

The pool and small garden are beautiful.
The meals served are perfectly executed and customized to your choice: possibility to choose between continental or Indian dishes.

Incredible and Wonderful place! A must stay place.

What a wonderful out of time escape

Le Colonial is a charming little hotel indeed, I’ve always wanted to find something like this and here we are! An old Colonial home with many stories to tell, tastefully restored and recreated into a luxury dwelling with many modern day requirements,
yet retaining its old world charm. Just walking in to the entrance through the living room like lobby was always a warm feeling with so much history before you.
We stayed in the Jan Van Spall suite which was again, full of period charm, two vintage styled queens, Mahogany furniture, a sit out terrace and a large bathroom with separate tub and large shower cubicle. Most importantly for us, a nice strong water pressure often rare in historic buildings. We also particularly enjoyed our terrace and the view we had onto the garden and pool. 
A warm reception always from Arun, the manager and his team.
Special thanks to Akhil for moving around some furniture and my several requests for extra towels. They also were able to arrange an in room massage for me on the terrace, which was most appreciated. 
Only place that we felt they ran short and could easily improve was food, not that it was bad, but considering that this suite is one of the highest priced accommodations in town, they could do better. Breakfast was that of a good B+B, nothing to match the luxury 5 star tab that they charge. I’m glad we opted to have dinner included only one night of our stay, as we were able to dine very well in nearby restaurants. 
I would definitely stay again. For lovers of nostalgia and comfort this is the place to be in Kochi. 

Lovely visit to the Past!

This 8 room boutique hotel was built in 1506, but is completely modernized. The location in historic Fort Kochin can't be beat. One block from the Arabian Sea and walking distance from all the historic sites. The rooms are large and three have balconies (get one). The food is excellent and the staff is fantastic. Visit Kerala and stay here for a magical experience.

Stay in a historic boutique hotel in Fort Kochin India

We had the pleasure of staying in Le Colonial at the start of our late December visit to Kerala, and we were so glad we had chosen this wonderful, restful place.  Although right in the centre of the action at Fort Cochin, the walled hotel is a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of the main road and it attendant wonderful colourful atmosphere that is India at its best.   
Our spacious, immaculately clean room with mahogany furniture reflecting the period,  was filled with everything we needed except a kettle, but  the hotel gave us tea and coffee - beautifully served - whenever we needed it. Although we didn't have dinner, the breakfast was of a very high standard, provided everything we requested - including marmalade! (but what would one expect?)  The staff were very friendly, polite and exceptionally helpful from the manager downwards. He obviously leads from the top and sets a wonderful example to the staff.
Le Colonial will be my first choice of venue when next we are in Fort Cochin - but we'll make it longer next time!

Period cjharm, immaculate service

Lovely private fine boutique hotel near beach of Fort Kochi set in nice gardens behind high walls in old coliseum bungalow. Service was good and the place an oasis of calm. Breakfast could have been better

Exclusive 

After spending a particularly bad night in another hotel, the next morning I set out to find another place to stay and happened upon The Colonial. It had everything I was looking for; impeccable cleanliness, lovely staff and beautiful surroundings. Although i was still poorly, I enjoyed two nights here where my every request was catered for and would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

Extremely good hotel in Fort Kochi

we have booked to stay two nights with this hotel on the 12th of September, from the 19th of the 21st and unfortunately had to cancel it on the 15th of September due to the nipah virus escalation in Kerala.
This Hotel did not care that we did not want to come anymore. They were pushing for us to come under this situation stating the virus was far away or telling us to come somewhen next near, knowing we are not indian tourist. They refused to refund our booking and we have tried several times to talk to the reception and reservation without any feedback. We have told to talk to a lady called Isabelle, who was never available and does not reply to our emails. Very bad way on handling guest, you see they are only interested in the money of their guests. Stay away!!
