Rasa Hotel is a three star address on Bastian Street in Fort Kochi, 200 m from the heritage quarter and about 5 minutes on foot from its lanes. A guest score of 4 out of 5 from 116 reviews suggests it does the basics well. The deciding factor is whether you want to be inside Fort Kochi rather than in the wider city.
Rooms and facilities
Rasa Hotel lists air conditioning and non smoking rooms, with free WiFi throughout. A garden and a terrace give you somewhere to sit outside, and a restaurant handles meals, including special diet menus. Practical services include laundry, luggage storage, express check in and currency exchange.
For getting around, there is bicycle hire and car hire, and a shuttle service. Free parking is available. Of these, the bicycle hire is the one that matters most in Fort Kochi, where the sights are close together and the streets are flat. The guest score of 4 out of 5 from 116 reviews is a reasonable signal for a three star property.
Fort Kochi location
The hotel stands on Bastian Street in Fort Kochi, 200 m from Fort Kochi, about 5 minutes on foot from the heritage quarter. That puts you within a short walk of the basilica, the synagogue lane, the godowns, the nets and the beach. Kochi is the headquarters of Ernakulam district, a municipal corporation, and the hotel is 4.7 km from the centre of Kochi.
The wider setting is Ernakulam district in Central Kerala, on the coast, by the sea. Fort Kochi itself is a peninsula at the mouth of a harbour, shaped by five hundred years of Portuguese, Dutch, Jewish, British and Malabari arrivals. It is the one destination in Kerala where the interest is architectural rather than geographical.
Who it suits
Rasa Hotel suits travellers who want to walk to Fort Kochi's sights and return on foot, and who value a garden, a terrace and a restaurant on site. It also suits those using bicycle hire to move around the peninsula. It does not suit anyone who needs to be in the centre of Kochi for work or transport, since that is 4.7 km away.
When to plan
November to February is the season for weather. In a Biennale year, December to April also brings the art crowd. Book accordingly, and use the shuttle service if you arrive with heavy bags. The 200 m to Fort Kochi means most of your time can be spent on foot.
