Ok, we went in the off-season, so maybe this property is better cared for in the winter. Unfortunately, what we found was pretty dirty. Mildewed walls, a bathtub that hasn't seen a scrub brush in years, etc. Most of the a/c units didn't work, and balcony doors to the outside street did not close at the bottom. The wiring looked...

This was one of the worst experiences I've had in a budget hotel despite them upgrading us to a 'deluxe room'. This is why: 1. Food at the restaurant (prawns) gave me an awful bout of food poisoning. I was throwing up the entire evening and well into the night. Let me add that the prawn dish was a supposed... More

This was the most awful hotel we stayed in during our 5 week India tour. The room is large but the there was a strange smell coming from the shower drain in the bathroom. The food is terrible - my friend got terrible food poisoning, and my curd rice (a South Indian staple) was the worst I've ever had, the... More

We stayed (2 adults and 2 children) at Rossitta Wood Castle for 2 nights. It's located in the heart of the old Fort Cochin, about 100m from the Chinese fishing nets, in a quiet, colonial-style street. The hotel, a 300 years old mansion, is full of charm, with its all-wooden aspect and charming courtyard. Our room was spacious, clean and... More

My friend and I arrived at the hotel at 05.00 in the morning after nearly 24 hours of travelling. The staff at Rossitta were so welcoming and friendly; nothing was too much trouble and they did all they could to help us. Breakfasts, cooked by Twahir were wonderful and the Front Office Manager Manu Anthony was so kind. One or... More

I came to kochi just for a weekend trip! Had two laid- back days in fort kochi and really enjoyed typical Kerala dishes in rossitta restaurant. Suresh, chef, knows how to cook fantastic Kerala fish curry, fried fish and tasty fresh juices;) He is a pretty smart and cheerful person who loves talking to his guests when cooking is done!...

Aaah, so hard to write a balanced review on this one! Rooms were great. There is a variety - smaller "single" rooms for Rs 900 (which would be a little inconvenient for a couple), more spacious rooms for around Rs 1800 and upper-floor rooms with balconies for Rs 2500. So maybe the statements made by other reviewers regarding the small... More
