They are excellent staff dedicated to the customers. ##### Ludovic Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 4, 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 18, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Un îlot de calme et de fraîcheur au milieu d’une ville qui tend à devenir assaillie par l’insistance des tuk -Tuk et des vendeurs! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jörgen, Tyresö Jul 22, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Underbart hotell med mycket charm Hotellet ligger direkt vid havet och solnedgångarna är helt magiska. Personalen vet vad service är och gör allt för att vistelsen skall bli utmärkt. Det enda lilla minuset är att Internet accessen är lite svajig ibland. ##### Jörgen Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom, London Jun 3, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice food, beautiful rooms and location (Right by the shore, you can see Dolphins out in the sea in the morning) and the staff are great too! If you are staying in Cochin, stay here! ##### Tom Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### RAJA, Ottawa, Canada. May 30, 2018 Liked: Staff & service This rustic hotel is situated in a great location in Fort Kochi. Most of the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Although the complimentary breakfast did not have a wide variety of selection, it is adequate and satisfying. The only negative points would be that the à la carte meal portions are quite meagre for dinner, given that you are paying for regular local prices for it. Also, the rooms and bathrooms have a noticeably pungent stench to them. It was hard to communicate with some staff members who do not speak much English. The wifi is unreliable because of the local weather which causes intermittent to extended internet disconnection. The hotel assisted us in organizing a backwater tour which we thoroughly enjoyed. The hotel also arranged for a driver to take us to Munnar. Despite the few shortcomings, I would still recommend this hotel overall - it is worth it for the price and value considering the convenient location. ##### RAJA Stayed 3 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JAMES May 16, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### JAMES Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### dolphins , london Apr 29, 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort nice lobby and restaurant with good views over the sea but the rest of the hotel is shabby and in need of maintenance. the garden is badly maintained and sruffy so we didn't use it. there are broken tiles in the swimming pool. the swimming pool area is dirty and needs maintenance- i only used it on the first day because of this ##### dolphins Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Franziska, Kägiswil/Switzerland Apr 18, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The Crews hospitality was extraordinary! Their kind- and friendlyness, helping in any way they could was just outstanding. I never met that kind of service during my 3 weeks in India elsewhere. It is obvious that the whole staff enjoys working there and they really are doing their jobs very well. Thanks again! Their efforts compensate the too few sun beds by the poolside. Next time I will stay at a bedroom with balcony giving view to the sea ;) ##### Franziska Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 15, 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ich würde wieder hier übernachten Zwei Kleinigkeiten (zuerst keine twin beds obwohl so gebucht und sehr schlechte Zimmerreinigung nach der zweiten von insg. 3 Nächten wurden mit excellentem Kundenservice reagiert, bzw behoben.

Rooms have not been cleaned in a while. If you'll stay for more than 1 night you'll die of Malaria, Dengue or Chikungunya. Rated as 4 Star hotel. Expedia should be ashamed of collaborating with such establishments and duping their customers. This is a third grade cheap lodge masquerading as a 4 star hotel. Oh my god! Terrible experience. ##### Abhishek Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2017 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Abhishek, Nori Jul 8, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Please don't go! Except for the proximity to the beach. This hotel has nothing to offer. The maintenance of the property is so bad. Fixtures in the bathrooms are loose. Bathrooms are dirty! Rooms have not been cleaned in a while. You will die with Dengue, Malaria or Chikungunya if you stay long. This is not a hotel. It is a road side shady lodge. ##### Abhishek Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Pamela Apr 22, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A restful break We had the "Sir Robert" suite with a marvellous view over the harbour entrance, doubt if we'd have enjoyed the place as much if we had a room without a balcony. The food is a bit uninspiring, suggest you dine out - plenty of good places within safe walking distance. ##### Pamela ### 8/10 Good #### Grace Mar 18, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Great location, lovely sea views from restaurant Good location, lovely views of the sea, service good, rooms clean. Only negative is the pool should have been cleaned of leaves etc more regularly and the jacuzzi also needed cleaning. ##### Grace ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colin, Cornwall Feb 10, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### An Island of calm.. I was looking for a hotel for a longer stay in order to recover from a long and tiring year. The Old Lighthouse Bristow is a piece of history and the opportunity to stay in a former British residence. It is clean, tidy and was exactly what I was looking for. I do like food! Breakfast had a small buffet selection together with a selection of freshly cooked hot options, such as omelettes and the chefs daily choice of Indian breakfast. Dinner is fine dining of a high standard and there is a wide selection of dishes which are excellent - as is the wine!. All the staff were polite and courteous. Most days started at the pool side after breakfast and then it was a five minute Tuktuk drive into Vasco de Gamma square or an excursion determined by the Tuktuk driver! There are Tuktuks outside the Hotel and the drivers are all friendly and will take you exactly where you want to go if you insist, but really prefer to give you a tour - go with the flow, it will cost you a few hundred Rupees or a few dollars are quite acceptable. ##### Colin ### 6/10 Okay #### Anthony & Ayla, Byron Bay NSW Jan 26, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Caution recommended Our stay at the Bristo Lighthouse was for 3 nights at the end of a months travelling Sri Lanka and India celebrating my wife's 60th birthday. It was to be a treat. Staff were lovely. We were advised upon arrival that the superior room we had booked had a water problem and we were being put in another room for our first night and be given a complimentary dinner. I had been advised by email some 2 months earlier that there was a problem with the room I had booked and that we would be given another room for the first night with a complimentary dinner. It so happened that this was another problem and we had 2 complimentary dinners. The first room was ok. The 'superior ' room was lovely except that it was on the end of the building above the kitchen. The kitchen extractor fan 'hummmmed' and 'rumbled' until midnight and was then replaced with the cleaners crashing pots and pans and talking aloud till 2 or 3 in the morning. The general outlook over the harbour was not very inspiring as one viewed over the broken glass on top a concrete wall and then across a littered gap to a final raised concrete walkway before the sea. To see the sea you walk out the room into a glassed in hallway with coffee style table and chairs to sit and look out or use your computer. Not what we expected . The staff couldn't of been more helpful and attentive and were lovely. For the money paid we thought it fell short. ##### Anthony & Ayla ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 5, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful hotel in Fort Kochin! The Old Lighthouse Bristow Hotel is an absolutely stunning historic hotel in Fort Kochin. It is in a superb location within walking distance of the Chinese fishing nets and many local restaurants and beer halls. It is also just a short tuktuk ride away from many tourist destinations. The hotel is beautiful and you are greeted with fresh juice upon your arrival. The rooms exit out to overlook the ocean, which is beautiful for the evening sunsets. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Laure Dec 2, 2016 #### Hôte bien placé mais salle de bains viellissante Hôtel agréable qui joue sur les codes de l'hôtellerie occidentale mais un peu onéreux (compte tenu notamment du caractère veullissant des salles de bain). ##### Laure ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Nov 26, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Average Staff were very helpful and friendly however wifi was pretty bad, no hot water.safe didn't work. Most of our in room amenities were broken but we didn't make a fuss as we spend most of our day outside. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 22, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Très belle expérience. A refaire! Bel hotel en bord de mer qui laisse apprécier le ballet des entrées sorties dans le port de Cochin, le jeu des dauphins ou les sorties des pêcheurs. Brise marine très appréciable compte tenu de la chaleur, tout comme la qualité de la cuisine et du service. Proximité de restaurants et boutiques de Fort Kochi, sans l'effervescence de la ville. Définitivement une bonne adresse! ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glenn, Brisbane Mar 14, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A nice place to relax at the end of a tour. After 3 weeks touring SW India on a motorcycle this was a great place to unwind for a few days. The staff were all very helpful, the restaurant overlooked the sea, where something was always happening, and the room was very comfortable. ##### Glenn ### 8/10 Good #### Hesham, Kanpur Sep 20, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Decent Stay Stayed at the hotel with my wife and child. The Hotel was under repairs. The restaurants were being renovated and the spa was not function. The Hotel made every effort to make our stay comfortable. They gave a free upgrade. The view and the location was excellent. They also arranged spa treatments from another location nearby. The pick up and drop off was already arranged. The food is decent a wee bit over priced as compared to others around them. There breakfast service was very slow. Apart from that the stay was good. The staff are just lovely and very very respectful and helpfull. ##### Hesham ### 8/10 Good #### Joseph Aug 17, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Joseph ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Club Balai Isabel](https://www.expedia.ca/Talisay-Hotels-Club-Balai-Isabel.h2964073.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Freeport](https://www.expedia.ca/Freeport-Hotels.d180773.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cottages Muskoka Lakes](https://www.expedia.ca/Muskoka-Lakes-Cottages.d553248635740523284-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Manhattan](https://www.expedia.ca/Manhattan-New-York-Hotels.0-n129440-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Grand Hyatt Kochi Bolgatty](https://www.expedia.ca/Kochi-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Kochi-Bolgatty.h20141582.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kailua-Kona](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels.d1879.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Kitchener-Hotels-Quality-Inn.h7927.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandals South Coast - ALL INCLUSIVE Couples Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitehouse-Hotels-Sandals-South-Coast-ALL-INCLUSIVE-Couples-Only.h1108287.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Ontario-Cabins.d11178-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels near TD Place Stadium](https://www.expedia.ca/TD-Place-Stadium-Hotels.0-l6072535-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sonder by Marriott Bonvoy Revival Apartments English Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Sonder-At-Revival.h59898963.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Niagara Falls, ON](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h17559.Hotel-Information) > > [Kochi Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kochi-Hotels-Kochi-Marriott-Hotel.h9597588.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Collingwood](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels.d11938.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Redding](https://www.expedia.ca/Redding-Hotels.d2962.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Le Meridien Kochi](https://www.expedia.ca/Kochi-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Kochi.h583740.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Incheon (ICN) to Tokyo (HND)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/icn/hnd/seoul-to-tokyo) > > [Emirates](https://www.expedia.ca/Emirates-Flights.cEK.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mia/toronto-to-miami) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Barcelona (BCN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/bcn/edmonton-to-barcelona) > > [Flights from Dieppe (YQM) to Sidney (YYJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqm/yyj/moncton-to-victoria) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyc/toronto-to-calgary) > > [Qatar Airways](https://www.expedia.ca/Qatar-Airways-Flights.cQR.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Packages > [Carp Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Carp.d6340808.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Sproat Lake Petroglyphs](https://www.expedia.ca/Sproat-Lake-Petroglyphs-Port-Alberni.d6291518.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Pena de Bernal](https://www.expedia.ca/Pena-De-Bernal-Queretaro.d6127417.Vacation-Attraction)
