Heritage Methanam Kumbalangi, part of Heritage group, occupies a good spot next to the water. It was delightful discovery of a Victorian architecture, perfectly restored and maintained. Some features of the architecture are carefully maintained. Service and staff are excellent, though improvements are needed. Hotel has a broadband connection, and guests can use it only in the reception area, where... More

Positives: comfortable bed with air con, lovely staff. negatives: Gloomy badly lit room, grotty bathroom with pathetic shower and plenty of ants. No tea/coffee making, hair dryer, packaged water as advertised. WiFi didn't work for the whole time we were there. Poor enough breakfast. Swimming pool most uninviting, badly stained tiles etc, garden neglected and unattractive. Poor level of English... More

After a long time we decided to head to Kochi, during the dec 2012 vacation. We were actually searching for a place with proximity to backwater. Me and my family had a good stay, at Methanam. We felt the hotel is value for money. Location was excellent, calm and serene. The food was delicious and service was extraordinarily great. It... More

We had organised a family get together last day in this resort. The staff were very much hospitable and made us feel at home here. This is a heritage resort, and we get to feel the " heritage " in this property. They have a very nice waterfront lawn where we had our dinner. They also have a well maintained... More

I happen to read the comments posted by someone which I believe is the same group that was creating hell in that serene and beautiful hotel which I was staying during the last week of December. The comment posted is ludicrous because the hotel's location is best I have ever come across. The funniest part was that the Manager was... More

Spent December 27 - 30 at Heritage Hotel. It was surreal from a service stand point. We were 3 women and 2 girls in 3 separate rooms. The facilities were adequate with the exception of one shower which sprayed water all over the entire bathroom. The Hotel Manager was beyond rude. He yelled at one of us and mimicked everything...

Beautiful heritage house with spacious rooms and a nice long bed (a relief for anyone over 6" who's travelled in India). Best shower in India. Our bathroom door squeaked but was repaired <5mins after we reported it. Rooms are clean and well presented with lots of little freebies like shampoos, shoe cleaning kit, razor etc. Lovely lawn area looking out... More

We just stayed in this hotel, and although it had a nice-looking facade next to the backwaters, our overall experience was less than pleasant for the following reasons: 1) Lack of information: it is usual to inform incoming guests about the times of breakfast, etc., and facilities, but the information was not forthcoming. We had to ask about this ourselves... More

Very much suggested if you are looking for an off the beaten path, but high quality property. Its a 15 minute ride from Fort Cochin but its quite and the service is excellent. They only have a few rooms, and the food is very good!
