  El hotel perfecto en Cochin

  Una estancia muy agradable con un personal fantastico y super atento. Los cuartos muy buenos y con unos baños impecables. Antes estuvimos en el Malabar House y sin comparación con Le Colonial! El mejor sitio para alojarse en Cochin sin lugar a dudas!

  What a wonderful out of time escape

  We just spend 4 night at the Colonial. This historic house keeps on living thanks to the devotion of a family taking care of preserving the authenticity of this former colonial estate while pushing the standards at the highest level. The furnitures and antiques have been selected with care, the atmosphere kept magic and the staff and managing team are incredibly pro and careful. They make you fell like at home, with a step back in rhe colonial past. There is nothing to change. The pool and small garden are beautiful. The meals served are perfectly executed and customized to your choice: possibility to choose between continental or Indian dishes. Incredible and Wonderful place! A must stay place.

  Wonderful luxury stay at a heritage hotel

  We stayed for 3 nights at this superb hotel. It is beautiful colonial house, an oasis of calm in a tourist location. The staff were helpful and polite. The atmosphere is of being a guest in a country house rather than a hotel, with a wonderful wooden heritage decor. The food was excellent. Yes, it is expensive, but well worth every penny.

  A hotel with more than half a millenium of history

  Built in 1506, this is the second oldest colonial bungalow in asia. One of the earlier residents was Vasco de Gama who died here and was buried in St Francis Church before his remains were removed to Portugal. Other notable resident was a French Naval officer Mahe de la Bourdonnaise who went north and coquered Malabar. The bungalow was then used by Dutch officers before it fell to British. 1605 AD was possessed by the Dutch and remined in Dutch possession till 17th Century when it fell in British hand and remained so till 1947. Many a Dutch, French and British colonial army and navy officers have stayed at this property Present owners from France bought the property c. turn of the millennium and converted it in to a seven-bedroom resort with a swimming pool. Each room is named after colonial officers who had made significant contribution in colonial times. Hotel Marigold series two was filmed in this hotel. Dining area overlooks the pool and overlooks the garden. This is tastefully decorated with outside lights and is suitable for romantic evening dinning. Cuisine is mixed Indian and European cuisine and all including bread and ice-cream if requested are prepared daily in house. Rooms are attended to twice a day, in the morning for main cleaning and in the evening for turning down the bed. Bathrooms are very spacious and each room has a shower and a bath. Staff are very friendly, attentive and meals are excellent and cooked to western taste. This place is a must visit.
