Reviews and Ratings

Insights and feedback shared by past guests
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Old Harbour Hotel's beautiful colonial structure and its lush, green outdoor area, often describing it as an oasis in Fort Kochi, right opposite the Chinese fishing nets. The spacious rooms, some featuring unique outdoor showers, contribute to the positive experience. Some guests have mentioned noise from the road and playground outside, but many find the pool area particularly atmospheric in the evenings, with its lovely lighting and candlelit setting, and appreciate the tasty, non-buffet breakfast.

I must say, the noise situation was less than stellar. a busy road right outside meant i heard motorbikes at 4 am. Not exactly the peaceful getaway i craved. and breakfast? oh, it was alright but nothing to write home about, maybe i should have just slept in.

mixed experience due to service issues

slow serviceinattentive staff
The service was notably slow . it took an excessive amount of time for drinks to arrive, even after multiple attempts to get a waiter's attention. the restaurant food quality was inconsistent. One dish arrived significantly later than the others. the staff did not seem attentive to refilling drinks.

The staff was genuinely kind and helpful. They were always nearby. The Kerala seafood curries were Excellent!!! I especially enjoyed the coconut cashew prawns and the fish curry with parotta. Laundry service was provided on short notice and they allowed me to check out later because I had a late flight.
The air conditioning in my room was not very efficient. Even when turned down to the minimum setting, the room was still warm.
