I was staying in Kochi for three nights, the first night was at a nearby hotel called Kochi Hotel. Then the next two nights I booked this hotel. It has a very high rating on Tripadvisor and it’s very near the weekend market which is extremely convenient if that is why you are in Kochi for.

Room
Corner Double Room – Non-Smoking
The corner double room is 18.5 square metre which is adequately spacious when it comes to hotels in Japan. But what really attracted me was the size of the double bed, the normal size for double bed in asia is 140cm, but here the double bed is 160cm! Now, that just means ‘a very good night of sleep’ to me so I wasn’t going to let that get away.
The room looks exactly like the photos on their website, the room is brightly lit, no foul smell and it was adequately spacious. There is a short corridor with the bathroom being on the left before going into the actual bedroom. There is a small partition on the left that separates the corridor from the main bedroom which is very considerate of them, they definitely planned the design out carefully,
A large desk located infront of the windows with blackout curtains, which definitely means I will get a good night sleep. The TV on the desk was average size, if the TV was bigger and hanged on the wall adjacent to the bed then it would have been much more convenient. The kettle and fridge were clean and good to use.straight away, some fridges have nasty smell. I was really surprised to see a smartphone on the desk, it says ‘free’, can use it while staying here. I did not get the chance to try it outside the hotel as I have my own simcard with data already, but it’s great if you don’t.
Verdict

Cons
None
A great hotel in Kochi, with a good location, modern design and extremely clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable, not too soft and two pillows each which was great. This was a great budget hotel which I slept soundly for two nights, everything was nearby, with all the restaurants I wanted to try around the corner and the weekend market was just two blocks away. Even the main shopping street is just downstairs, it was a great location! I was really sad I didn’t get to stay all the nights I was in Kochi, so next time!
Would I go back again? Yes, definitely
