The Malabar House

A short break on our way home to Australia. Very quiet time with monsoon about to break.

It was all good until they told us we had to go to a different hotel. We are still not sure why....explanations unconvincing....

Amazing suite which you would expect at that price. While the restaurant is in a very nice setting, the food was a bit of a let down given the price.

Cute place. It's India, so don't expect much. Just be pleasantly surprised if and when it works out. Great art. Mediocre food. Decent room, but bathroom flooding issues, noise from the courtyard, and lots of mosquitos (not really their fault) prob pushes this down a few notches. Surprised this is a Relais property. But it's the price of a Holiday Inn at, like, the Cleveland Airport, so what can you expect? The colonial architecture and interiors were nicely done. Kerala is turning dry, so only beer and wine at the bar. And Fort in Kochi is really only worth your time for a night...it's a bit boring after you see all the standard tourist stuff.
