Read morethis residency is very nice place to stay in Cochin it has very good location. The whole staff and management of the hotel is one family, the lady and her two children - God bless them - they are very kind and they help you to feel yourself at home. At the lobby they have very nice library you can just pick out a book and sit at the beautiful garden to read and enjoy the nature. At breakfast time Mrs Ann will be always busy in the kitchen preparing for you a delicious food. Mrs Ann as well can arrange for you daily tours like backwater boat trip and visiting the main sightseeing at the city and also airport pick up, with Mr George who is a very good and kind man with great hospitality- Mr George has an old model car but look as new. Don't miss...
