In my opinion if you want a good value place to stay in the centre of Fort Cochin look no further. Sonnetta is efficiently managed by owner Xavier who organised various trips for us and went out of his way to help. Our room was a little tired but spotlessly clean and had every facility one would want: attached bathroom,... More

To get the more ordinary stuff out the way, the rooms in this guest house are good. Not opulent but tastefully decorated, with warm water, spotlessly clean and very good value. The place is also conveniently situated in the heart of the tourist district of Fort Kochin. The reason it's such an amazing place though is the staff and management.... More

A little cracker. Remeniscent of old school Italy. The phrase 'an eye for detail' is so commonly used but often copy blurb. This is real detail, a beautiful little gem with polished floors, hot showers, pristine laundered bed sheets, hooks to hang things, very simply - rather beautiful. The owner and his brother in law charming and kind. How often... More

This hotel was perfect for me and my friends. We traveled to Cochin not knowing or planning much ahead of time and the owner who spoke amazing English was extremely helpful. He helped us plan our three days in the area and had plenty of suggestions. He scheduled everything for us in a matter of minutes. We had the best... More

We spent one night here, but probably had the noisiest room in the hotel. Other rooms are better. The manager is extremely helpful and arranged a river boat cruise for us plus transport to and from Varkala. The driver was very good, although we had a minor car problem as we arrived in Varkala. Sonnetta Residency is located in the... More

I am a student who travelled to Cochin not knowing anything. The owner of Sonnetta was extremely hospitable and even organized my entire stay in Cochin. He booked us for massages, plays, and an overnight boat trip. I highly recommend this charming little place. More

We stayed here on November 26, 2011. Absolutely great budget hotel on a central location in Fort Kochi. We had a spotless and spacious room with a very nice bathroom. The staff is very friendly and flexible. Wireless internet is available free of charge at the reception. We absolutely recommend this hotel! More

Sonnetta's was a great place to stay. Very friendly, helpful and positive staff. Room was spotless with an incredible range of facilities. Extremely welcoming each time we arrived back to our room. Screens on windows so no need for mozzie net which was a nice change. Great location, close to key spots in Fort Kochi. More

After a traumatic experience at Tom’s Old Mansion, we headed to Sonetta. We were greeted by a lovely old man and his daughter who showed us to some spotless and homely rooms. They were reasonably priced, with fan/tea making/tv. No A/c in our room, but possibly available in other rooms. No breakfast here (as with many of the hotels in... More
