Sonnetta Homestay Fort Kochi

The host and staff and very warm. You would feel very welcome. The location can't get better than this. Rooms are simple. Good AC, hot water available. I really appreciate that they had a water dispenser at the entrance and you could fill your water bottle there, reducing need to buy single use water bottle everyday. The rooms have seen better days. Breakfast simple tasty and homely.

It was my first time in Kochi and we found this hotel online looking at the pictures and reviews. The ground floor room that we were about to finalise was decent enough for the price we saw online and the hotel's location seemed perfect. However, the owner acts sweetly until you book your stay online availing the discount. He has registered his hotel on the travel apps but denied us to stay when we told we are booking it online at the discounted price. Thereafter he was very rude and disrespectful. He should take the hotel registration down from the apps if he doesn't want the guests to avail the discounts. We left and had to search for a budget friendly property for a two night stay. Luckily, we did find one with the help of our auto driver, Mr Peter, who was very kind unlike the owner of this property.

Everything was nice here the location of the room. We had been here for a shoot and I needed best room near fort kochi which will be easy to me. So it was exactly like how I thought. And it was pocket friendly too the cost was just 1500/- non AC. If you are looking rooms near fort kochi then this is best.

The location of this hotel couldn’t be beaten. Right in the heart of Fort Cochin close to great shopping, restaurants and historical places of interest. Also just a short stroll to shoreline and fishing nets.|The staff were very helpful and friendly. |The room itself was comfortable and clean though the furnishings were dated and cleanliness of sheets and blankets questionable. Breakfast was nice and suited to our preference. Sanju, the taxi driver they ordered was amazing and very informative and knowledgeable about sights of interest. |

This guest house may seem slightly old fashioned, but it is actually a brilliant place to stay. It's located centrally in Fort Cochin, close to all the tourist attractions. The rooms are fairly big and well-equipped. There are two breakfast options, Western and Indian, but you must specify which option you prefer the evening before. The best thing about the place are the owners. It's a sweet, helpful Cochin family, who know the town very well. We found them warm and welcoming, and we would definitely stay here again.

These are lovely people to stay with. The owner and the staff are all bright and cheerful and very eager to help. Located on Princess St in the heart of Fort Kochi, it is convenient to many places of interest and in walking distance to quite a few sights. I found it interesting just walking through the streets, taking in the sights and sounds. There are some interesting shops for souvenirs and general purchases as well. Take time to wander the foreshore walkway and watch the Chinese nets at work. Breakfast is included in your stay and the food is very hearty and well prepared. No other dining is available but there are many fine restaurants in Princess St and the other neighbouring streets. Prices vary but I found them to be of good value. Side trips and taxis can be arranged through the hotel if you wish. The electricity tends to go off quite a bit but this is not confined to Sonnetta and they restore it very quickly. I would happily stay here again.

Its pocket friendly and family friendly. I stayed here with my family during my trip to Fort Kochi. We were given a room for 3. We felt safe during our stay. The one thing I loved most was this place felt like a home. The ambience was so cozy and they did have a small library downstairs. And its in the princess street. The view from the windows makes you feel as if you are living in some other country. And the beach is just a walk able distance away from the hotel. Loved our stay and would surely recommend this place to all the people who would like to stay in Fort Kochi.

Never go by looking at the ratings. I have been asked to pay 200 more than, what was agreed over the call. As soon as you enter, you need to leave slippers at the entrance. Obviously, you need to be in barefoot even in the bathroom. Horrible room with full of dust. Please go for alternative options.
