We booked on-line,and it took us a good hour to get to Fort Cochin. What a pleasant surprise it was to get to our hotel and find a clean and hospitable place to enjoy our vacation. The washrooms are cleaner than any I've seen in India. Its a great location to wake up and take a walk on the beach.... More

I booked this hotel almost a month and a half prior to the stay for our last night in Cochin. It certainly ruined the potential high notes we could have ending our wonderful trip to Kerala. Got to the hotel around 8h30pm tired from a day of driving only to be told that the hotel is overbooked. They offered to... More

I was actually booked into another 'homestay' hotel on a parallel street - not knowing about Arches. Came across this hotel while walking around the streets and looked up TripAdvisor. We were in Cochin for the RikshawRun (Cochin to Shillong - http://globaladventurists.com) and needed a comfortable hotel for 5 nights. The location, the quality, the rates were perfect. In fact,...

One of the best hotel experience you can get worldwide at such price. Had a great time there. Excellent service quality.staffs are very co-operative .internet just for 40 rupees. But dont have a pool. Heard it have a pool service now from a friend of mine.Make it your first choice if you are going to fort kochi.

We very much enjoyed this hotel. Our room was large and even had a small refrigerator which I appreciated because I was able to keep our bottled water cold. The room was very nice, the breakfast was beautiful and generous and the fresh fruit was beautifully fresh and cut to order. When I mentioned that I liked mangoes, I had... More

We certainly paid a lot less than the price quoted on Tripadvisor - I guess it was a quiet night because we walked in and the reception quoted us a price that was quite comparable to the other hotels around it. Little did we know that the standard of service was much higher. The rooms were spotless and came with... More
