Neemrana's - The Tower House

My husband and i stayed there for a night. We were the only guests in this huge colonial bungalow and that was the best part of the stay. We got the whole place to ourselves. Location: the building is located, probably, in the best part of fort kochi. It is easy to find as it is bang on the main road. The most attractive part of the location is that it overlooks the park and the chines e fishing nets in the backwaters. Building and premises: the building is of heritage value and ideal for a peaceful stay. The huge halls and dining areas with arch doorways look dignified. There is also a nice swimming pool with a plumeria tree nearby. Vehicles have to be parked on the street as there is no parking inside the property. Room: we were given a free upgrade and the room we stayed in was called "mossel. The room was spacious, with continuous windows on the two external walls. The antique furniture (four poster beds, arm chairs, cupboards etc) and the window drapes were absolutely lovely. There is no tv in the room. The bathroom was also big and they had all facilities like hot water, hair dryer etc. Food: breakfast was served to the room (i guess, because of covid. It was fresh and tasty. We didn't have any other meals from there. Service: when we reached at night, the property was manned by a single person. We were shown the different rooms first so we could choose. There was no watchman at night. The security person and the housekeeping staff arrived in the morning. Cons: we were checking-in late at night (11 pm) and wanted to let them know about our arrival time. But both phone numbers mentioned were not working. We go-ogled and got another landline number which we had to try multiple times for someone to attend the call. We informed the person about our arrival time. However upon arrival (at 10:50 pm, we found the gate locked and the building was under lit. It looked like the building was completely unoccupied as there were only a couple of light bulbs on. If not for the hanging christmas decorations in the front yard we would have thought that the property is not functional. Since it was close to midnight there was hardly anyone around. We waited outside for 15 minutes, continuously calling the only working phone number (i. E. The landline number we found through google) until someone answered. We even considered leaving because the whole scenario looked suspicious and unprofessional. The person who finally answered the call came and opened the gate. We were told that he is the only staff there at night.
With respect to covid protocols, there was no temperature check or baggage sanitation. With respect to general hygiene, the building was clean and neat.

After lot of research we booked this Neemrana's - The Tower House because of its interiors. Since kochi is known for its architecture and history. We wanted to stay in such place which reflects it. We booked our stay here for 2 days but were going to reach next morning 5am of our 1st day booking and we had informed the Neemrana's - The Tower House prior of the same. Special mention of staff especially the person in reception by name vetrivel who not only made sure to be up to receive us at 5am but had put on the ac in room prior to our arrival that was really thoughtful since kochi has humid temperature. Considering me husband and my 9 year old son would be staying in one room i had requested to provide extra bed instead they provided us the bigger room than what we booked it was inf-act huge room with big bed again very thoughtful of them. Comfortable stay, nice staff, simple but tasty breakfast. Overall had a good time. I don't usually write such lengthy feedback but here i had to )

Location was great! right nearby the beach, very convenient. Food: Very average. The break fast had just idli and appam. If I am staying at a neemrana property. I expect a better and bigger spread. Cup cakes etc. Restaurant ambiance: Sad and run down really needs to be worked on. Service: Prompt. But the pool opens late and shuts down early. We had to request to keep it open for longer. 7:00 am to 8:00 pm is an ideal duration when people can come back for sight seeing or before that to enjoy the pool.
On the first night stay I felt that my bed had bed bugs, I complained about that the next day and they promptly changed the same. My room had a lizard. In a Neemrana's - The Tower House room a lizard is a big no-no

Absolutely charming old-world ambience, quite uncontrived. Just The right furniture in just the right places. Nothing overdone, and no clutter, just the right feel to browse through and enjoy Cochin's store find history. Very attentive staff in the front office, and a lovely, clean pool though the rain shower needs alignment. The citronella aroma in the room was a lovely welcome, though the space on The bedside tables was a little tight. Not enough space for book, spectacles, phone! Oh, and a bar would've been welcome, to go with the lovely food.

An old dutch bungalow transformed into a Neemrana's - The Tower House. The whole Neemrana's - The Tower House gave a royal feeling. The rooms were big and The antique furniture were just too good. Was within walking distance from all The major attractions in Fort Kochi. The breakfast menu could have been better. Also there was only one server assigned for breakfast. There were many families for breakfast and The server could not cater to all of them. The management should have added one more for The service. All in all very happy and satisfied.

Very good location. Located very close to the main activity centre of fort Kochi. Great ambience and antique furniture. The pool is well maintained. We only had breakfast at the place and it was up to the mark. Its a shame they don't have a bar. Also if you carry your own drink, they will not let you use the common areas to consume. Food from outside is also not allowed which is a shame. But the staff is super cool and very courteous. I would recommend this place for good and personal family time makes for great pictures!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stayed in The Moens Room is located on the first floor, facing the Chinese fishing nets with windows on two sides. Wonderful establishment with rooms furnished in antiques. The historic Neemrana's - The Tower House is well- authentic and historic. If you are looking for modern luxury this is probably not the place for you. If you are looking for something a bit more rustic and a lot more charm than you will like it. Staff and food are good.

The location is good. Directly in front of Sea. There we can See The chinese nets catching fish. Wellington Island can be seen also. We strolled near The See in The walking area. We saw so many varieties of fish and had fresh grilled prawns. Regarding The interior, it is simply awesome. We had a feeling like we are staying in a palace. Swimming pool was also good and we were The only one enjoying The pool. The staffs were polite and were always eager to help you out.

Highly recommended. Good ambiance. Very close to Chinese fishing nets.

Property is located on vasco da gama square in fort kochi which is the most coveted location in old town. The decor and interior of this age old heritage bungalow were mesmerising. It took us back in time. Indeed my most memorable stay

I liked it. Construction looks like premier. Staffs are too friendly.

The location of Neemrana Neemrana's - The Tower House in Fort Kochi is just fascinating, just opposite to the Chinese fishing net. It's a heritage Neemrana's - The Tower House with antique furniture. Rooms are spacious. Swimming pool is nice. The lobby, sitting area, library all has that old age charm. The staff really cautious. Breakfast is nice and tasty.

Located in The heart of Fort Kochi which is d main tourist centre of Kochi. Stay in The Neemrana's - The Tower House gives a colonial hangover due to its ambience. Service nice. Breakfast spread ok. Food is extremely expensive.

The rooms are clean and has a very artistic feel to it. All the facilities provided are luxurious and up to the mark. The breakfast was well served with a sublet variety of dishes. The highlight of the stay was the ambience provided by the antique theme of the Neemrana's - The Tower House.

The Neemrana's - The Tower House is beautiful but the maintenance leaves much room for improvement. We had a good stay, nonetheless.

Enjoyed and they took very good care of us.

The location and the breakfast was awesome.
Room was not bad. However the worst room of the Neemrana's - The Tower House. Perhaps because of paid booking made on line.

Overall experience was good. Hotel is well maintained.

Expected a better room but overall ok ; have stayed in another property of neemrana so had higher expectation

Very friendly staffs. Love the old ambience of the entire property. Quiet place to relax. Would love to come back. And yes, love their breakfast choices. Good experience of train journey. Had to literally run as the train stopped only for 2 minutes at my station ottapalam & nearly missed my train.
