Top Kochi Hotel Reviews

Tissa's Inn

Tissa's Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Had a very nice stay overall. Shout out to the front desk staff who were always helpful and the location is good as well. Only issues were the shower (hot water setting gives lukewarm at best) and one housekeeping lady who for some reason didn’t believe me (and went ahead to checked the room twice) when I said there are no tissues in the room and had requested for some. I mean, if someone actually wanted to steal from a hotel room, there are better things than facial tissues 🙃. But other than this, it was a very nice and comfortable stay. For the price, it’s a very recommendable place."
