A beautiful old but small hotel , where we had one of the best rooms on then floor. It might not have. the most modern bathrooms but it is comfortable, quaint and very clean. Right in the centre and a short walk from the park and the sea front where you can choose the fish you want, the hotel has... More

This Hotel is supposed to be a 'Heritage' hotel. It is quiet quaint and does have 'old' written across it. Missing many basic features in the rooms. Power sockets are out dated don't seem to work. If running hot water is a factor than this may not be the hotel for you. We had booked to stay a number of... More

The Old Courtyard was our first port of call in India. A warm reception when we arrived in at 6 in the morning. It was a good central spot to wander around in as the chinese nets were only a short walking distance away. Our host Edgar made some great recommendations for us and was most helpful in making our...

We travelled as a group of 6 girls and we were treated as stars at this hotel. The food was very good; there is a good mix of westeren and Indian cuisine and the chef is happy to accomodate any requests. We loved the 3 rooms on the top floor, all individually decorated with antique furniture and a deck outside.... More

If you are off to Cochin, look no further than the Old Courtyard! It is marvellous, right from the first meeting with the manager. He greets you as if you are the day's most important guest that he is expecting, with a warm smile. The rest of the staff follow his lead. Everyone seems happy that you are their guest... More

Quaint. That's the word that comes to mind when you walk into this hotel. Hotel us a broad & loose term for most accommodations in this area. These are HomeStays. Rooms are decent. AirCobditioners don't seem to be that effective. Running hot water is a problem through individual water heaters aka Geezers. All this when other better appointed Hotels/HomeStays available... More

The Old Courtyard is a very nice, friendly hotel that's got real charm and character. Due to our flight we arrived four hours before check-in time and they let us into our room as soon as it had been cleaned, three hours before we should really have arrived - the staff are really nice and amenable. We were in Room... More
