Hotel Areaone Kochi — Hotel in Kochi

Some of the staff was not friendly during check-in. We arrived and parked in their parking lot across the street, but when we checked in, they said the lot was full and we could not park there and had to move immediately. It was not full, but they offered no other explanation and insisted we move. We said we would move the car to the other lot once we put our bags away, but they called our room right after we got in and told us to move the car or else there would be “trouble.” Literally no one parked there until after 10pm, so I don’t know why they rushed us.

In the evening, the elevator was being serviced and they told us to take the emergency stairs, but the stairs were blocked by a van and we could not reach them (quite the fire hazard, if you ask me).

I didn't actually eat at the cafe downstairs but it seemed nice and was usually busy. The staff were quite friendly and spoke some...

Relatively close to Kochi Station and quite close to shopping and nightlife districts. The hotel and rooms are a little dated, but the front desk staff were really friendly and attentive and it is good reasonably priced. WiFi was good and nice to have a kettle and decent cups to use. Mini-velo bikes are available to use which is great! The breakfast was a nice change, choose from two of three kinds of sandwiches plus side dishes and a limited selection of cereal, juice etc. Though, not great for vegetarians and vegans would...
