Frommer's "The best feature of this budget "hotel" is undoubtedly its location right on the waterfront -- it even has a private jetty (though no rooms overlook the water as such)." Full review
i
Request a room close to the water and you'll have less road noise (although harbor traffic never lets up).
Lonely Planet "Close to the ferry point, this is one of the few truly waterfront hotels." Full review
Rough Guide "Stylishly simple rooms flank a sandy courtyard littered with pot plants and votive terracotta statues. Those in the better block (rooms #1–6) have comfy king-sized beds and good showers."
i
Avoid the older budget block on the west side.

Frommer's "This 2-year-old guesthouse tucked away down the backstreets not far from the Dutch Cemetery is one of the most alluring options in Kochi." Full review
Rough Guide "Buried in a maze of narrow back lanes, this is a hidden gem, run by Icelandic architect, Thóra Guðmundsdóttir. The white-walled rooms... all open onto balconies fronting an exotic garden."
