    Doesn't matter if you are going to fort kochi with family or friends. this place is top notch and very close to fort kochi jetty. just 2mins walkable distance. all major sight seeing places are very nearby and you can literally walk and cover the entire fort kochi from here. Markus is very kind and helped us alot during our stay. they have complimentary breakfast and it's super awesome and delicious 🤤.

    Terrible Stay

    raghav r.family

    Terrible would be an understatement. It was our worst ever experience with any stay. The whole place had a very creepy, unkempt, dirty environment with garbage The walls were ladden with fungus and mold and got severe allergies. we couldn't even stay for an hour and checked out.

    Clean and hygienic but an issue mosquitoes bites in day and night. Use mosquito spray or a plug-in device that keeps them away.

    A wonderful stay in a heritage bungalow

    dr a.loyalty-iconcouple

    We stayed at ballard bungalow for a week and it was a home away from home. The room was spacious and comfortably air-conditioned, with a high ceiling and enough furniture to work and relax. The best part of the stay was the excellent service and good food. We had breakfast and lunch for most of the days and it was really tasty and like home food. Marcos, the manager, satheesh, the chef and all the staff were friendly, hospitable and responsive to our needs. I will definitely stay here again if i return to fort kochi.

    A laid back place with an old world charm. Makes you feel in sync with the history that fort kochi is steeped in. The bungalow is decently maintained and has reasonable amenities. The staff are courteous and friendly. Marcus, the manager, is an amiable guy who helps you out with every request - be it travel arrangements, local inputs or recommendations.
