Tess Holistay Fort Kochi

Tess was so kind and so helpful. I felt very safe and taken care of. As a traveller alone, it was the best stay. Absolutely will come back to stay here when I come back to Fort Kochi.

Sehr sauber , ruhige Lage

THE ROOM AND WASHROOM WERE VERY NEAT AND CLEAN.THAT IS WHAT I LIKED THE MOST.

NO FOOD IS AVAILABLE THERE. THOUGH SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS ARE NOT VERY FAR AWAY.

Very clean and comfortable

Struttura curata, confortevole e pulita

Nulla

Immaculately clean. Good air con and ceiling fan. Safe and secure. Short walk to cafes.Quiet area.

Tess was very hospitable and helped us out with taxis and general advice. Room was spacious and very clean. We walked pretty much everywhere from the home stay - great location

After reading the reviews, I decided to book at Tess Holistay and was not disappointed. A very lovely family, I was not feeling well so Tess went to the pharmacy to collect some tablets for me. The location is walking distance to the beach and restaurants.

Very nice homestay in excellent location.

Tess was the sweetest host. She was so welcoming, upgraded our room because the bigger room was empty. She was extremely helpful with so many different things. We wanted to get customized clothes. She went with us to two different Taylors and in the end advised us to call a Taylor who came to the homestay. She bargained with him and we got the local prices. She helped us organizing our trip to the backwaters (local tour). Tess never asked for extra charges even though she was so invested in our trip to be a great one. the communication was excellent. We are very happy by this sweet encounter and can very much highly recommend staying at the homestay.

Airco is the best ever. Room is basic.

Nothing really. We aimed for basic and that is what we got.

Tess was lovely and the location was great.

The room was very tight and basic and there was a terrible sewer smell in the bathroom.

The quiet. I had a very good undisturbed sleep every night. The effective air conditioning. The spaciousness.

It would have been nice to have breakfast there.

nice spacious room and kitchen on the top floor

No fridge in the otherwise spacious kitchen. there was one a few years ago which was very useful. Beds not very comfortable for tall people

Nice service clean and comfortable

Wonderful hotel, well located, well maintained and comfortable. The host, Tess, is very kind and welcoming, always there to help. We highly recommend this hotel.

Nothing

Very welcoming and a safe stay. Felt like a home away from home. Great location

Rooms felt a little bit congested.

Tess was very welcoming and friendly. She always made time to talk to us and had plenty of suggestions for places and activities in the area. We felt like one of the family. She was open to suggestions to improve the residence.

None.

we had NO breakfast offered, the Stay house has no breakfast on service , we had to walk around to look for breakfast that was very disappointed

could be better if the breakfast was included

The location was very nice and Tess is the absolute best host we’ve had during our stay in India (over 5 weeks)

The beds weren’t great, they were alright for the value but would have been nice if they were better

The place was very clean and the beds comfortable. The people were very helpful and friendly. When I became ill at the end of the trip, they went out of their way to help me and showed great kindness and concern, bringing a thermometer and dry toast. The property is situated very near to the town so we could easily walk there and the hosts were able to recommend places to eat.

Nothing I didn’t like. Chairs or a sofa on the upstairs corridor would be a useful addition.

Tess was welcoming and helpful.

Ms. Tess, the owner of the property is very friendly. She let you feel that you are at your own home.

Nothing to comment

The owner helped us any time in what we want to do,such as booking a cab, buying a ticket for Katakali show.

Tess was exceptionally welcoming and helpful at all times.

When staying multiple days breakfast would be convenient.

Tudo

Nada

It was nice and quiet with a short walk in Fort Kochi. The owners were very helpful with bookings and information and flexibility 😊

Was difficult carrying a large heavy suitcase up the stairs

The rooms were clean and no disturbance. A/C was cooling nicely and it was not turning off when you remove the key of room. There was water, tea and coffee available in the room. Soap and shampoo was provided, laundry was done sufficiently and we received our clothes on time. Overall our stay was pleasant and the services provided were useful. The owner was polite and respectful. They also accept foreign currency.

There were only one hanger in the room. The cupboard was broken and there was juicer machine without jug.

Had a Comfortable stay, 10 minutes walk to fort kochi cafes, restaurants and waterfront. Owner is friendly and very helpful. Helped me book day trips and train tickets and was always at the end of the phone if I needed anything. Arranged pick up from the airport for additional cost. Driver was there waiting for me when I landed. Room is small but just what I needed for my stay. Also had a balcony. AC was good. Sheets and towels were clean, and a hot shower after a day of exploring.

Would be nice to have a bedside lamp / light. A small fridge would have been a bonus in the room for people who are staying longer. The noise from the mosque at 5am is quite loud but this cannot be helped, I used ear plugs.

Clean and fresh, fabulous friendly service

The location is very good, quiet but close to the main tourist areas. The owner is friendly and helpful, and the place is very clean and comfortable.

Very Good, Clean, Good Location, Host and his son were very helpful.

Nothing

Manager was so helpful, with great communication. Room had everything we needed and clean

Other guests were noisy till quite late

Cleanliness

Great location, nice room with good air conditioning, owners were really helpful and welcoming.

I stayed here for 1 night with my boyfriend before heading home, such a good place to stay just what we needed, host was so lovely and welcoming would go above and beyond, rooms were very clean, good location, comfy beds thanks for a lovely stay :)

Nothing.

Perfect, near the centre of city

Great value and location. Hosts were very responsive and welcoming

The room was airy and comfortable. Good AC, Good hot shower, Good Wifi and very helpful host. The location is excellent and I would definitely stay at TessThe Holistay again.

Nothing

Spacious, clean room. Dependable wifi. Convenient location. Hosts that go above and beyond to provide any assistance you need and make you feel welcome.

Nothing

The hostess was extremely kind and helped us with all of our needs - including a short stay in hospital. She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable, and tried very hard to make our stay enjoyable.

I truly enjoyed my stay at the Tess Holistay Fort Kochi. It is located at a very convenient location. The host Johnson is very friendly and helpful. I definitely would like to stay at Tess in my next trip.

Host was the best host you can imagine. Reliable, efficient, caring and passionate in his services to guests. Higly recommended. Quite place in the center.

Pleasant place, great & helpful host, central location, amiable atmosphere. po po

Didn't know how to open the windows - my fault... :-/

The owner was very hospitable and friendly.Situated close to the tourist centre of Fort Kochi very convenient for restaurants etc Room and bed clean.

Nothing much.The room was quite small

The room was large enough and lovely and clean as was the shower room, the family that run this place are really friendly and helpful people, your not just renting a room your getting support if you need it. For me as a solo traveller it was perfect! I definitely would recommend staying there.

Leaving!! There are some stairs to negotiate if your not young and fit like me

How wonderful to see a property with so many of the small things that make the big difference. Bedside tables, great lighting, shampoo sachets, super bed and sheet and blanket - all spotless. Best of all the staff communication before I even arrived checking I was ok - then resolving a tuk tuk price dispute on my arrival - helping me get away transport wise - and the ultimate location for the boats and shops and bus station. Book today as this is a total gem!

Owners are excellent , take care persoi

Very nice rooms, clean and host very kind and helpful

All was perfect

I stayed at Tess Holistay for one night and would definetely recommend. Good location and all facilities you need. But most of all: Johnson is a very welcoming, kind and considarate. Due to a delayed flight I arrived in the middle of the night and even brought a friend that desperetely needed a room, and he stayed up to welcome and help! I would definetly come back here :)

Location excellent to our taste, away from the milling masses in bazaars. Owners Johnson and Tess were excellent hosts, looked every way to help us enjoy our stay. Cannot fault them in any way. We met them as clients and parted as friends.

None at all, but, if there is one that is the absence of a TV in the room. Even then, there is nothing worth watching on the Indian TV channels. Even the news telecasts are so "Indo-centric" there is no world outside India, except for Pakistan!!

It is a nice homestay with very friendly owners. I recomend!

The landlord was really nice - he helped us try to have a taxi The location is great

Everything from start to finish was amazing, Johnson and his wife were fantastic hosts and were there to help and book trips for us at all times. The beds and pillows were so comfortable, the best we have slept in on our India trip. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back again. If I could give this place 100 stars I would. Thank you both for an amazing stay 😊

Friendly and helpful host, nice clean AC rooms (bathroom however with open window, have to keep bathroom door closed). Only a table was missing in my case which will probably be fixed for the next guests. My impression is that Johnson always wants to improve the experience, so tell him your complaints and suggestions.

The location is near a mosque where a guy with a megaphone may wake up the neighborhood in the middle of the night. Rooms are not properly silenced like you would expect from most (pricy) western hotels.

Super clean and the owners are really nice. The location is great and they are willing to help out were they can. We would definitely come back and also recommend it.

It’s at prime location and it’s near to all the tourist places.

Excellent location, easy walk to Fort Cochin and its many restaurants. Great little bakery around the corner from Tea Coffee and many yummy eats. Supermarket and fruit shop also around the corner.

Needing a few hooks in the room to hang things.

Excellent host in Johnson ! Very helpful and welcoming. Arranged taxi and anything else that you might want. Great to communicate with and extremely prompt to respond. Good choice of eats and shops close by

No chair in our room, had to just sit on the bed

Convenient location. Friendly and helpful hosts.
