MAI House Heritage Hotel

mãi house heritage MAI House Heritage Hotel, fort kochi, kerala, india my name is manu. it was in early february, my wife and i decided to take a trip. we were in fort kochi, from the 16th -18th feb 2023. our first trip with child. as parents of an 18 month old boy, we were going to need all the help we could get. our plan: to visit the kochi biennale 2023 and try to cover as much ground (as possible) in two days. mai house is the labour of love of liju baby and his wife, lijy. the property has 8-9 well appointed rooms, and attentive, service oriented staff who afforded us every courtesy during our stay to make sure that we and the child were comfortable. we were entertaining guests who were international designers and architects and people who looking to get the best out of the biennale experience. i can safely say, that we had many a productive discussion safely sheltered in the corridors of this tharavaad style house; or, beat the heat in style at the mango showers restaurant. the kitchen staff was very attentive to our needs, and on more than one occasion, custom made meals for my son. another occasion that truly stands out was: most of our guests were international artists and architects. one of them in particular, was from the northern region of spain (galicia) they are a seafaring, fishing folk. the steward expertly recommended a delicious karimeen fish moilee; paired with some hot-off-the-tava crispy parota. one bite in, and she was immediately transported to her fondest memories of how to savour the best taste of the fish. they are a new property, for sure. barely a couple months old. but, if they keep this up, they are sure to be successful. all the best!

The property is a located quite close to the fort kochi beach and had easy access to most of the spots around. We booked their ac cottages and they were really cozy, had a stocked snack tray and mini bar, basic amenities and a beautiful bathroom with running hot water. The property itself is really picturesque with lots of old trees, a lily pond, restaurants and a resto bar. We were served breakfast on the veranda restaurant that wraps like a porch around the 120 year old colonial building. They have also do room service and have a pretty amazing selection of food. Also, got a small bookshelf with amazing books that we can borrow while staying. The staff were so courteous and welcoming, i had to get a late checkout and they offered to let me stay at the room for a few more hours.

The place has beautiful heritage feel and staff is very soft spoken and helping. The rooms are very clean and interiors are good. Well maintained property

The MAI House Heritage Hotel room was very clean and had all accessories such as coffee maker, toileteries etc. The food served too was excellent. The only complaints were 1) the room allocated was adjacent to the receptionists seat. So there was no silence in the room. During the night all noise from the open restaurant and the noisy crowd adjacent to the room was discomforting. 2) fan regulator knob was not working and its position was hidden behind the bed which made it inaccessible. Apart from these issues, they stay was good.

I had an amazing 2 days here , the staff was soo cordial and friendly x food was tasty and the amenities provided was perfect, the room was spacious and clean , they had ample car parking space , beautiful atmosphere and Ambience , perfect for families and solo travellers alike , situated at walking distance from fort kochi and Mattanchery with good connectivity, will definitely visit again.

Came in for a night and the grounds were clean, and very romantic. The courtyard has a nice pond with small fish and frogs. The dinner served was fresh and tasty
