Made to feel very welcome here
Sonnetta Residency is a homestay located in the heart of Fort Kochi district in Princess St. It is in easy walking distance to the foreshore and Chinese nets as well as the ferry service. Breakfast is included in the price but other meals are unavailable, however there are many very good and reasonably priced restaurants in walking distance in Princess St, Rose St and others. It was nice to be able to try so many. I suggest A/C room as it can get quite hot. The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. They can arrange tours, taxis, etc if needed. Kochi felt very relaxing and I would be happy to stay at Sonnetta Residency again.

Bon hôtel
Très bien situé ce petit hôtel est propre et confortable . Le jeune garçon à l’acueil est très gentil et très serviable tout comme les deux femmes qui préparent le petit déjeuner .
Par contre le patriarche qui vous reçoit n’est pas vraiment agréable. Je vous le recommande cependant.

Centralt litet hotell i Fort Cochin
Sonetta ligger väldigt centralt i Fort Cochin. Nära till det mesta och alltid en ricksha inom räckhåll. Familjen / personalen på hotellet väldigt trevlig och hjälpsam. Frukostmatsalen var liten, förmodligen deras eget kök... Duschen fungerade men det blev vått i hela toaletten när man duschade. Hotellägare delade gärna med sig av en massa bra tips

Great location, very helpful staff.
Reliable hot water (unusual in India), comfortable bed, great location.
Staff super helpful (many thanks for sorting out an airport taxi for us at a very short notice after we were stood up by our driver).

Pleasant hotel in Fort Cochin
A pleasant hotel in the centre of Fort Cochin within easy walking distance of restaurants, sights and transport. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a convenient, budget alternative to big chain hotels. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Homelike, sweet, close to water
The owner, staff, and other guests are very friendly. Sonnetta can help you arrange day trips and more in the area. The place is very clean: people are asked to leave shoes in a rack downstairs. Breakfast is small and cooked on-the-spot-- a good opportunity to meet other travelers, since we sit together. My room was for four people and worked well. I see that there are many equally well located places to stay in Fort Kochi, but I would stay at Sonnetta again because of the owner and people who work there.

Good location in the main Street in Fort Cochin.
This home stay provided me with almost three weeks accommodation at an excellent room rate. I was staying longer than most since Fort Cochin is a very popular destination for backpackers and turnover at the home stay was high. It wouldn't be fair to rate this accommodation in the same way as a hotel. Nevertheless, the room was comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful in every respect.

Terrific stay in a great location.
The staff here are amazing. They are welcoming and willing to help in any way they can to make your stay memorable and help you feel at home. They organized our tour experiences and transfers at a moments notice. The facilities and room amenities are basic and a little old, but the room was incredibly clean and very comfortable. Bottled water is always provided. Great value for money. Cafes, restaurants, shopping, beach and bars are just a few minutes walk in this beautiful area. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and recommend to all travelers and backpackers.

Wonderful clean hotel with warm friendly staff.
We were warmly welcomed by the owner Xavier and staff on our arrival. The airport pick up had been arranged efficiently prior to this. We were early to check in and so they kindly made another room available for us to rest and refresh while they prepared our room. All the rooms and hotel throughout are very clean with everything in good working order. We were able to get sound advice and arrange excursions as well very efficiently. Xavier is a well-established member of the community and as such, was able to advise and guide us well. Also the staff are willing to chat and we made friends with everyone there! Breakfast is simple and freshly prepared and delicious. We will return and thoroughly recommend Sonnetta's to anyone looking for a homely, quiet and cultured visit. Kerala Kathakali Centre is 5 mins walk and Xavier arranged the tickets for performances there too.
