“Immerse in histories of Kochi”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 12, 2013 NEW

A luxury to flee from effervescent Indian city life, inside the white walls, surrounded by jungle sounds of tree birds, to relax on a verandah or in the dipping pool. A superb collection of furniture and illustrations to immerse in and experience the people from Kochi's historical past. (Visit the church across the road to see the memorials). The management...

“Amazing place to stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 7, 2013

My friends and I stayed here for 3 nights. We came to Kochi to get away from the hustle and bustle of Bangalore and this was the perfect place for that. A very comfortable and peaceful place to stay. Clean and comfortable rooms and great service.

“Best hotel and service!”

My husband and I stayed in the Viceroy room for two nights as a little getaway whilst in India for work. The room was the nicest and biggest room of any hotel I have ever stayed in. It had beautiful floor boards, interesting furniture and art work and a fantastic covered balcony with ceiling fans - perfect for a coffee... More

“I will definitely return”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 10, 2013

We were able to check in early and the front desk was very helpful with giving suggestions for places to eat and attractions to visit. The hotel was very comfortable and quiet. The room was clean, cool and quite large. The bathroom was clean. The bed was unbelievably comfortable. Definitely worth the price.

We stayed at Le Colonial as the final stop on our 16 night tour of Southern India and unanimously decided that it was our favourite hotel of the trip. The decor reflected the bungalow's history yet offered 5 star comfort. The sevice was exemplary, nothing was too much trouble and we were served the best food of our stay in... More

“Exceptional premises matched by exceptional service!”

Le Colonial is a charming property, enhanced by tasteful and appropriate interior designing and decor, keeping the original Portugese flavor intact while giving all the comforts of 5 star living. No ugly AC ducts here! The service is exemplary - personalized like a home stay, yet distant enough to make you feel comfortably independent. Food was fantastic, especially the Kerala... More

“A lovely place to stay in Cochin”

A small, historic, boutique hotel well located in Cochin. The service is very personal and the staff willing to accommodate all requests. When we asked about the hours for dinner we were told it could be served any time we showed up! We had a very early morning flight that required us to leave the hotel at 5 AM. They... More

“History, Luxury, Beauty and Grace”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 10, 2013

Le Colonial was a truly hidden gem. A 500 year old bungalow, that Vasco da Gama once lived in, shaded from the Kochi sun and noise, yet walking distance from everything that matters. Charming artefacts on display, that feeling of awe that you're standing neck deep in history, yet coming home to modern luxuries like air conditioning and sleeping on... More
