This excellent and highly recommended hotel in Fort Kochi area is set in a heritage dutch colonial mansion. It is very close to the Port boat jetty on Ballard roadand is owned and run by the Cochin Diocese. The hotel has 7 rooms, a restaurant and a travel desk.

The Ballard Bungalow is a lovely old converted house. The rooms were amazing and the staff really helpful. I would recommend this place!

We booked directly with the hotel's website and mistakenly pre-paid 3 nights. We arrived at 4am from Dubai in the rain so after we saw our room we were almost going to stay because we were so tired and didn't know where else to go. The room had one GIANT poster-sized bed and that's it. We asked for 3 beds... More
