The Killians Boutique Hotel

It was a nice place with nice people. It's pleasure for us. Thank you for all the service. The staff were so attentive and very kind. Happy to come back. Once again thank you for all the service for us and we surely come back.

This hotel has an excellent location a stone's throw from all of Fort Kochi's sightseeing, restaurants and right next to the ferry pier. The off-set garden gives you a blissful serenity off the main road and bustle and bustle. The restaurant has a very limited number of choices, and the breakfast is very limited past 9am (but we opted for ordering Masala omelettes, which were yummy). The bougainvilleas nicely frame the balconies set around the pool and courtyard and it feels very colonial and authentic in its architecture. The hotel is secured with CCTV and guards and all the staff are very accommodating and friendly. There is a bar next door, but it isn't noisy in the evening and there are plenty of tuk-tuks outside to take you around Fort Kochi and Mantancherry for the day. The rooms are massive and offer all your basic needs. Overall, a very pleasant stay!!

We were booked into this hotel by our travel company in India. Our vacation is based on 4 star accommodation where available on our tour. We stayed one night to see Fort Kochi. This hotel displays 4 stars!! Don't expect the normal welcome and smiling staff in this hotel. We felt they were totally disinterested. Our room 201 smelled of drains and the a/c was very difficult to control, possibly because the batteries in the control were flat. Amenities in room included a china pot with 2 loose teabags and a coffee sachet. The bathroom had a single , part-used toilet roll, 1 tiny shampoo bottle and 2 small hotel soaps with 2 bath and 2 hand towels. Breakfast was awful, not at all like the usual ample choice buffet. Only enough cereal on the buffet for perhaps 4 diners and staff watching like hawks to make sure you didn't take too much we felt. Cut fruit was provided in the form of unripe orange melon that was too hard to eat. Omelette was offered, hard boiled eggs, toast, chicken sausage and 2 local dishes were also on the buffet. The only fruit juice was warm pineapple. It's possibly one of the best hotels in Kochi fort we were told, I'd hate to stay in the others if that is the case.

Excellent hotel. Well appointed large rooms and comfortable beds. Staff especially the lovely receptionist were very helpful. Good breakfast and restaurant menu. Aircon worked well. The pool and gardens were well maintained. With in walking distance of local tourist spots.

The hotel is 4 star hotel with swimming pool and big rooms. It has a nice restaurant and bar. Complimentary breakfast is very good. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect too as it is close to the shops, beaches and sea. What I liked most are the art pieces , furnitures and the selection of plants which gives hotel a unique look and a unique experience for me.

Hotel rates in Fort Cochin were astronomical so I decided to try the Killians which had availability and was not too expensive. First the positives. It is in a fantastic location in Fort Cochin, very close to the Chinese Fishing Nets and across the road from Brunton Boathouse. The reception, restaurant and housekeeping staff I dealt with were all friendly and helpful. Special recognition should go to Mr Jithin, the night time receptionist, who went above and beyond to help me with a number of issues. He is an excellent employee and very nice person. On the negative side the rooms are rather dark and drab, and cleaning could be better. I had problems with my safe box (some numbers not working), there was no view from the window and the WIFI was poor and kept dropping out. Breakfast was limited, but acceptable, with fresh juice, good omelettes and fresh fruits. Coffee was quite poor though. I would return to Killians only if I got a very good deal, with the hope that the WIFI and room cleaning could be improved.
