Very nice hotel near the historical sights. Spacious room and well designed and maintained room. The working desk electrical plug is a little too low to the desk, and one side of the bed lacks one plug, hidden behind the curtains. This is considered a luxury level hotel which I pretty much agree at local standard and close to international hotel chain level. The breakfast restaurant can get a little busy in the morning and the staff can be a little overwhelmed with the turnover.

Had a lovely two night stay. Friendly staff, beautiful grounds. Enjoyed the food, pool and boat ride. Surprisingly few mosquitos, considering we were near the lake.
Many thanks to the man constantly clearing the large pool of bamboo leaves :-)
RoomsBooked a villa with lake view but mainly obscured by lovely trees and landscaping. Think the living room area furniture could do with an update but otherwise perfect.
Nearby activitiesNot sure as only a two night visit between other hotels
WalkabilityLovely grounds to stroll around. A challenge for anyone with mobility issues, as paths can be uneven, numerous slopes and steps
Food and drinksBuffet breakfast and dinner. We also had room service for our dinner. Food was fantastic. Sunset bar sells beer and wine. No other alcohol available on site
Noteworthy detailsLovely if you want a quiet spot with gym, spa and lots of kayaking available nearby. Enjoyed our boat ride through the mangroves. Great to see the hundreds of fruit bats flying across the lake at sunset

We had a two night stay and our first time in India. The staff are so, so lovely. They are a credit to the brand name and to each other, so courteous, attentive and smiley. The food was lovely and dining on the rooftop terrace accompanied by love music was a joy.
Marco Colombo
Fragrant Nature is an elegant boutique hotel that perfectly balances comfort, design, and authentic Indian hospitality.
The staff are exceptionally courteous and attentive — from the warm welcome at the reception to the service at the restaurants, every detail feels genuinely cared for.
The rooftop area is the highlight: a beautiful infinity pool overlooking the harbor and a panoramic restaurant offering excellent cuisine and a calm, refined atmosphere above the bustle of the old city. The main restaurant downstairs serves a rich and varied breakfast, with both international and local options prepared to high standards.
The location is truly fascinating — set right in the historic part of Fort Cochin, surrounded by a mix of colonial buildings, narrow streets, and the vibrant contradictions that make this area so unique.
A perfect choice for those who appreciate design, quality service, and a touch of quiet luxury in the middle of Kochi’s living history.
