The Lilly's Stories

The location, the elevator, quiet rooms. It was so comfortable that I extended my stay

The terrace is on the roof; it's not connected to the bedroom like I thought from the description

熱水夠熱 早餐也好吃

冷氣聲音太大

lovely rooms, good beds, very interesting air-powered elevator, colorfully painted walls, great location

The restaurant was limited in its offerings for breakfast and opening times (but it was off-season).

está perfectamente ubicada, habitación limpia y bien equipada

la habitación no tenía luz natural. Igual estuve 1 sola noche

I like being close to tourist attractions, and it's convenient to travel.

The air inside the room is not very well ventilated.

Friendly staff, convenient location, great room

cant think of anything

Good location, close walk to the major spots in Fort Kochi. I liked that you could leave the AC on when you’re out so when you come in, the room was at a great temperature.

We informed the hotel that we would be arriving at 10:00 PM, and upon arrival, the property was locked and no staff were immediately available. After contacting Booking.com, it took nearly 20 minutes for someone to arrive and unlock the hotel, without any acknowledgement or apology for the delay. Additionally, a large fold-out bed was left in the corridor, obstructing access to the stairs, which created a safety concern and gave a cluttered impression. The bed linens had minor stains, and the bathroom could have been cleaner. Considering the cost of the stay, we felt that the service and room standards did not meet expectations. Unfortunately, we would not be able to recommend this hotel.

Top Lage in Fort Kochi, sauberes Zimmer & leckeres Frühstück! Bin ich nochmal in Kochi, komme ich gerne zurück!

War alles super!

Tyvärr hade båda rummen utsikt mot en cementerad vägg som var ca 20 cm från fönstret. Det framgick inte när vi bokade rummen.

Le personnel

L’agencement

Petite structure, extrêmement bien placée, avec des chambres très confortables et un personnel aux petits soins

L’hôtel est très bien situé Le personnel est très attentif

Cependant , cet hôtel mériterait un meilleur entretien , certaines parties ne sont pas très propres De même , le ronronnement du générateur est extrêmement désagréable et nous a gâché une partie de la nuit

Nice guesthouse in a quiet area slightly away from the busy part of Fort Kochi but a few minutes walk from restaurants, shops, the coast. Western style breakfast - perfectly nice. I didn't try the evening meal but lunch and dinner is available at the hotel I think.

No problems at all.

Location; friendly staff. OK breakfast. Spacious room.

The room smelled, the bathroom a little of sewage. The room had bizarre opaque windows on two sides with a blind over that didn’t keep out the light.

Great location and the staff were efficient and friendly.

Cramped hotel ( somewhat expected as it is a house converted ) with limited common areas . Pricey for what it has to offer .

I loved my stay at Lilly’s. A very calm space with friendly staff located in a quiet neighbourhood. Would definitely recommend.

Uns hat das Hotel sehr gut gefallen, mitten in Fort Kochi vieles gleich wenige Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Die Zimmer sind sauber, das Bett war komfortabel die Hotel Angestellten sehr freundlich (unser Flug kam um 2:35 in der Früh an und man ermöglichte uns einen so frühen Check in ) Das Frühstück ist einfach aber für den Start in den Tag komplett ausreichend, zur not sind viele Kaffees wenige Minuten entfernt.

L’emplacement est idéal. Bonne literie.

Les chambres simples sont petites pour deux!

Aardige mensen. Schoon. Locatie en ontbijt.

Prijs stond op geen enkele manier in verhouding tot kwaliteit. Heel veel geld voor volledig uitgewoonde kamer. Dit was de vip-kamer (bovenin).

Despite getting a confirmation from booking.com and an email from lillys stories team - me and my senior citizen parents were shocked when the staff informed me that there is some problem in their system and our booking is.not showing. And that their hotel is full and we can't be accommodated. This is the first time ever we've experienced this, and booking.com provides absolutely no customer support whatsoever. The staff at Lillys stories was kind enough to move around in his bike to find another hotel for us. We ended up finding another accommodation by moving around in the brilliant auto services in Kochi.

Anyone who books, please make sure to call them and confirm their booking. It seems like a good place and great location.

The location and service provided was good

Nothing

The staff were exceptionally helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay easy and enjoyable. They had a lovely restaurant downstairs and the rooms were spacious and comfortable.

Everyone was super friendly and helpful - Elvin was really easy to talk to and very interesting

La posizione è vicina a tutto, davvero ideale!

Camera e bagno molto piccoli, ci hanno dato solo 2 asciugamani grandi e uno piccolo (per 2 persone), nessun tappetino da mettere per terra dopo la doccia, nessun sapone. Reception lenta, tempi di attesa lunghi anche la mattina per la colazione. Colazione inglese fissa molto povera, ci è stato portato pane con patate. La colazione indiana andava richiesta un giorno prima e nessuno ci aveva informati.

The room has everything needed for a good stay. The location is superb, very close to the centre of Fort Kochi, but off the main roads. Everything is reachable on foot. The owners are wonderful and friendly people. They did everything they could to make our stay perfect. The restaurant is also good. Overall the price to quality ratio is very good.

Great location, main sites and places to eat easily walkable Good Air con Nice omlette for breakfast which was included Lovely staff and small family run business

My room faced a wall. So wasn’t really a room you wanted to spend lots of time in. Could have been a little cleaner, some hair in shower in the bathroom but overall clean sheets, floors, toilet

Loved the decor, the fab breakfast, wonderful staff and comfy bed. The location was perfect snd I felt safe walking around the area at night. Highly recommend this lovely boutique hotel.

Not having a view as looked out on a wall

Nice room, clean and looking good.

Nothing, everything was fine

The Rooms Were Very Neat and Clean. And the Host was incredibly friendly and helpful. He was very accommodative and even agreed to extend our check out time by a few hours for a reasonable price because our train back home was leaving at night. The location was fantastic. Close to most of the Biennale Venues in Fort Kochi and Mattanchery. And the surrounding area was beautiful. Breakfast was also very decent. All in all, we had a great stay at the Lilly's Stories. Thanks to the very hospitable host and friendly staff members.

Great location

Nous avons aimé la salle à manger, très conviviale, le petit déjeuner, la gentillesse des serveurs, très aimables et polies

Nous avons trouvé que la chambre était un peu petite, pour 2 personnes, c'était gênant. Pas d'eau chaude

Location and friendly staff . Always helpful

Nothing

Great spot to relax after landing in Cochin. Lovely staff, always helpful and so friendly. Great spot to explore the old town from.

Nothing!

This is a wonderful, cozy hotel with beautiful design, situated on a peaceful street. The staff were friendly and very helpful, and the hotel has a lovely restaurant. I stayed here during my trip and really enjoyed it.

Not much except the person helping in the room.

Personale molto accogliente e disponibile. Struttura nuova e molto bella, tranquilla. La caffetteria-ristorante al piano terra è ottima. Perfetta anche la posizione

Geschmackvoll und liebevoll eingerichtet, sehr gute Lage

Fantastic location, super clean room. Staff and owners are amazing and will go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Very clean, great breakfast, good vibes.

Nice location. Staff were reachable and polite. Breakfast was good. Happy for the value we paid. Highly recommended.

Very friendly staff.

Room was small.

מיקום טוב. חדר נקי.

לחדר יש חלון שפונה לקיר הנמצא 10 ס״מ ממנו וחוסם את כולו. במייל לפני ההגעה ביקשתי לברר לי על מופע כלשהו- נאמר לי שבוצע אך כשהגעתי לא ידעו על מה אני מדבר. ארוחת הבוקר שהוגשה לי הייתה הודית, כשביקשתי חביתה וטוסט נאמר לי שאי אפשר- אבל מייד אחרי נכנס זוג שזה מה שהוא קיבל……

Comfortable bed

No breakfast until 8.30. Poor value for small room. No hot water.

Недавно останавливались в этом отеле и остались очень довольные! Первое впечатление было приятным благодаря маленькому, но невероятно красивому лифту, он очень вписывается в общую картину интерьера. Все сотрудники отеля поразили своей приветливостью и готовностью помочь в любое время суток. Это создает ощущение заботы и внимания к каждому гостю. Комната была уютная, оборудованна современной мебелью и всеми необходимыми удобствами. Особое внимание хочется уделить чистоте номеров — здесь действительно идеально чисто, чувствуешь себя комфортно и расслабленно. Обстановка располагает к отдыху и восстановлению сил после насыщенного дня. Уютная атмосфера и заботливый сервис делают этот отель идеальным местом для тех, кто ценит комфорт и качество обслуживания. Без сомнений рекомендую этот отель всем, кто ищет спокойный и приятный отдых в приятной атмосфере гостеприимства и комфорта.

Нет

La localisation dans une petite rue

L'état général de la chambre (moisi sur le rideau de douche et ménage approximatif) La petite superficie de la chambre dont la fenêtre donne sur la terrasse d'un bâtiment juste à côté Le personnel pas très professionnel (on ne m'a pas proposé de petit déjeuner alors que c'était compris dans min tarif)

The property was really clean and super cool. The elevator is an experience 😂. The staff were lovely and very accommodating. Such a great spot too, really easy to get around fort Kochi. Lovely shops and restaurants close by.

The electricity kept going out and one night we didn’t have any power so the room got super hot.

Room was fine. Expected and looked exactly like pictures. Good location. Owner was very friendly and personable.

When we arrived we dropped our bags in the room as they were finishing up cleaning and we set out for lunch. When we came back our room door was wide open so anyone could get to our things.

The location is great if you're wanting to visit Fort Kochi. Close enough that its walking distance but far enough that its relatively peaceful and quiet.

Rarely ever staff at the check in counter, we had to regularly walk into the kitchen to get someones attention There were several power cuts New but still unfinished, lots of holes and paint everywhere Complimentary breakfast is just an ommelette and is quite basic.

Location, breakfast, cleanliness, and most of all the staff were amazing!

Would go again. Very nice staff and very good location. Can do your laundry for a small fee.

Breakfast was delicious and very generous portions. Ideal location, very central but quiet.

Every day the room key would stop working and required re-magnetising. A little annoying but not a big deal.

Rooms are fancy and clean, breakfast Is good, the owners are always smiling and kind. The postiion is perfect, many restaurants, cafe and nice shops around

Breakfast starts too late for us (at least 8.30)

Great location, walkable to all the things we wanted to do in Fort Kochi.

Lovely, welcoming, helpful, caring staff. I was ill on my last day and I could not have been cared for more kindly. Perfectly located in heart of old historic district but on a very quiet street. Lovely patisserie in lobby, cakes by chef trained in France. Beautifully appointed spacious rooms with comfortable beds.

Piped music in corridors (not in evenings)

Very friendly staff, great location, very clean.

Some of the furniture was still packaged in plastic and not quite ready! The breakfast only starts at 8.30am so we could not sample it, although the staff kindly provided us some fruit.

The hotel is in a quiet neighborhood, the room was clean, and overall, it was better than any other hotel I stayed at in Ft. Kochi, Munnar, and Varkala. The staff was friendly and very, very helpful. I would definitely come back here.

I didn’t try the breakfast as it started quite late and didn’t fit my schedule. My room was small and had no view at all, so I had to keep the curtains closed, but it wasn’t a major issue.

Outstanding location at Fort Kochi. Walking distance to the beach and eateries.

Great location, quiet area.

The accommodation is exactly as on the photos

The room was a bit smaller; however it was a great deal for what we needed

Loved the peaceful location, also the warm hospitality from Elvin and James. Lovely beds and linen. Tasteful decor.

We loved the peaceful location of the property. Next to great shops and very nice restaurants within walking distance. Elvin and James are fabulous hosts. We appreciated the attention to detail in the rooms.

The location was super and the stuff was kind.

We had a late check in and nobody was reachable, even we informed the hotel before. Then our room was not ready, and we got a very small room. The stuff was always kind, but overwhelmed with their work. Bad start, but good hotel overall

Really good breakfast and lovely staff. Super helpfull on booking our train tickets and good tips

Nice breakfast options (change from continental to south indian), friendly and welcoming stuff

Our budget room was great value for money, offering lots of extras, making our stay all the more enjoyable. Central location. The owner is friendly and extremely welcoming. Onsite restaurant is also very good (I can recommend the cheesecake 😏) Probably our best stay in Kerala : )

Favourite place we have stayed in so far. There were all the comforts you could have wanted and the Queen Suite was particularly special with a bath. We stayed over New Years and the hosts went above and beyond to ensure we had a good time. The staff in general were very attentive. Food was also good - would recommend the cakes.

Nothing - all great.

Very friendly staff, the owner is really keen that you feel comfortable, nice interior, quiet location in the heart of Kochin with hardly any traffic in the street. The view from the room (1st floor) was looking into the little street, but you have a great view form the rooftop terrasse.

The stay was worth the money it was charged. The friendly and helpful nature of the host and staff.

Very friendly staff. Always happy to assist.

A lovely new boutique hotel tucked gently away on a quiet street which connects easily to close-by attractions, while being a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle of tourism. On arrival after a daunting 2+ hour delayed ferry, the owners greeted with warmth, concern and genuine kindness, handling luggage an motioning me to take a seat in one of several comfy chairs in the lounge environment of this quaint hotel's all-encompassing/multi-use space. Soon after, a chilled glass of sparkling water arrived, and was much appreciated. And that is Chapter 1 of The Lilly's Stories. :) A fine beginning indeed! From there, several more chapters have been written: 2-Lovely and Cozy Room; 3-Delicious Desserts; 4-Delightful Dinners; 5-The Rooftop Deck; 6-Quiet and Restful; 7-The Elevated Surprise(which you'll have to visit to know!); 8-Serendipitous Encounters; Elvin's Mural Vision...There are so many stories full of heart here. You of course, will add your own chapters. :) Very thankful to follow a hunch and book this wonderful nest in the heart of For Kochi. It is a remarkable Home Away From Home. Gratitude and appreciation to all who make The Lilly's Stories a 'must read' book: Elvin, Rojni, Sandra, Shawn, James, Dhalia, Amal, Martin, and all who make such a place possible on a daily basis. Truly a GEM. See you all again...Soon! 💜

The hosts are amazing! They would go out of their way in ensuring that you have a great experience! I fell sick on the day of Christmas and needed a doctor, Elvin sent his brother to find one because everything nearby was close. The food at the hotel is out of the world. They have a pork dish where pork is marinated in wine for 8 hours. It's a must try.
