There were so many positive reviews about this place that I was confident with my choice. However, must say I was a bit dissapointed with the quality of the room. The room was very small, hardly any room to put your bag. The sheet was to small for the matress, so that does not seem to bery very hygienic. The... More

We chose to respond to this review mainly because the traveler has made this review for the pleasure of making a negative review. How can she expect a larger room when she booked a budget room for single occupancy ?. If she was looking for a bigger room she could have spent more in the month of January. We change... More

The hotel is quite old but the rooms are fairly clean.Our room had a water problem so we had to change from the big room to smaller one (very small).There are a lot of mosquitoes so if you're allergic avoid! Overall I don't strongly recommend this hotel but if you can't find any other place it's ok.

We made a big mistake by accommodating this family in the new year eve. The room they booked was a family suite room, unfortunately there was a plumbing problem in the room which could not be attended to immediately being new year eve. We shifted them to our standard rooms. If we had not provided them these rooms, they could... More

Within walking distance from everything in Fort Cochin, a very nice and quiet place to stay. The hotel i s family run, and the lady we met was very friendly and welcoming. They have different rooms, my room had a airconditioned bedroom, bathroom, a small frontroom and a veranda.

Encouraged by reviews on TripAdvisor, we booked a basic room at Kapithan. We arrived at Kapithan Inn and were greeted by one of the 2 women running this home stay. We had read that the hosts were extremely friendly, but we weren't really shown this friendliness. Instead, our hosts were distant and offered little welcome. However, they weren't unkind, so...

We are also very much disappointed by the comments raised by this traveler who stayed with us for 3 nights. We wish to clarify that we will distance ourselves from certain guests when they are not friendly. Secondly we do not offer Wifi in the rooms, even in the most expensive rooms in our property. Wifi is offered in a... More

Kapithan Inn was a superb place to stay in Fort Cochi - good locality, tidy, with an atmosphere, friendly and helpful owners and staff, and good value. We stayed almost a week in a family room, and the only drawback to it was that while our two year old daughter slept, it was impossible to use the very nice anteroom,... More

While we appreciate the positives pointed out by the guest, we would take this opportunity to make clear about the laying of the extra bed. We can lay the bed in such a position that it will not hinder anyone entering the anteroom. But the guest wanted to do it themselves and we did not know that they were laying... More

Of course, your best option if you are looking to share the culture in Cochin with the real people that live there! If not, you always have the fancy over priced hotels, 'the white reservation', but i guess you would not be looking at trip advisor because your secretary might be doing all the jogging for you. so, a few...

Very good value - clean tidy room, good location near Fort Cochi centre, and friendly staff. We stayed here both at the beginning and end of our travels in India. We stayed in a range of 'posher' hotels, and grottier places, but Kapithan was the best value of all. Breakfast options limited, but plenly of other places for breakfast within... More

My second visit to Kapithan Inn, this time we stayed 2 days/nights instead of just 1. Again, we had a very warm welcome when we arrived and our rooms were clean and fresh and the beds very comfortable - great value for money.
