A three star hotel in Kochi with an indoor pool, a bar and a garden, 600 m from Fort Kochi, about 5 minutes on foot. The guest score is 4.6 out of 5 from 337 reviews. That walking distance to the heritage peninsula decides whether it suits you: book here if you want the old town on foot, not if you need to be in the city centre.
Rooms, pool and services
Tissa's Inn is a three star property in Kochi. The guest score is 4.6 out of 5 from 337 reviews, which is high for its class. Rooms are air conditioned and non smoking, and there is a 24 hour front desk. A restaurant, a bar and room service cover meals. An indoor pool, a massage service and a garden give the stay some depth beyond the room.
For practical needs there is free WiFi, free parking, laundry, currency exchange, car hire and a shuttle service. The terrace adds an outdoor spot to sit. The combination is unusual at this level: a pool, a bar and a garden in one address, with the Fort Kochi lanes close enough to walk.
Fort Kochi on foot
Tissa's Inn is in Kochi, the headquarters of Ernakulam district, a municipal corporation, in Central Kerala. It is 4.4 km from the centre of Kochi and 600 m from Fort Kochi, about 5 minutes on foot. The coast is close: the property sits on the coast, by the sea. Fort Kochi is a heritage destination, 3 m above sea level.
That destination is a walkable grid of five hundred years of arrivals: Portuguese, Dutch, Jewish, British and Malabari, stacked on a peninsula at the mouth of a harbour. It is the one destination in Kerala where the interest is architectural rather than geographical. Everything is on foot: the basilica, the synagogue lane, the godowns, the nets and the beach in one loop. In Biennale years it is the art address of South India.
Who it suits
Tissa's Inn suits travellers who want Fort Kochi on foot, with a pool, a bar and a garden waiting at the end of the day. The 4.6 guest score and the three star rating set expectations correctly. It does not suit anyone who needs to be in the centre of Kochi for work, because the address is 4.4 km from it, or anyone who wants a large resort with extensive grounds.
When to plan a stay
November to February is the season for the weather. December to April is the season in a Biennale year, when the art events draw the crowds. Fort Kochi is at its most comfortable in the cooler months, and the walk from the hotel to the heritage quarter takes about 5 minutes at any time of year.
What the property lists
