Convenient, near shopping n food areas and karaoke place. Also walking to kochi castle. Free breakfast. Welcome drinks include beer. Staff helpful. Speaks basic English only. Room has twin n single together but no double bed. Nice weather in October

Price included a welcome drink and breakfast the following morning. For the budget traveler its a great deal.
