Illikkal kallu, kattikkayam waterfalls and ilaveezhapoonchira are nearby. You need to order food in advance and they serve really authentic north Indian food. Staff are really friendly and the breakfast spread was lavish and tasted Amazing. Great food. Highly recommended.

Very poor customer service, arrogant attitude by bar managers and staff

Reviewed By Jerin2121

We had a family party in the sky bar and asked for a separate table downstairs for people who were drinking. The people at that table moved from there for a photo session after informing the manager and by the time they came back the table was cleared and was given to new customers without any information. Then they informed that there are no further tables available. One friend had given his car for parking to the valet and later he found that the headrest with TV was broken at the time of return. The managers refuse to take any responsibility for it. Overall, very poor experience.

First I should thank Mr.Ajith, he took care of us from starting to ending. He was such a friendly guy and he is taking care of this homestay with his parents. Very clean and neat rooms. Tasty home made food. Couples and family can choose this place without any hesitation. Believe me I am going to suggest this homestay to all my friends, who come to Kumarakom or Kottayam. Boating is also available and you have big place to walk during evenings.

Fenn Hall

Are you looking for a weekend or a week long stay while in Kerala for Holidays? Fenn Hall located in Central Kerala is the ideal place for you. Built by Mr. Mathai Fenn in 1945, while he was working as an excise officer for the British, this beautiful 70 yr old Villa in Kottayam combines traditional Kerala architecture with Colonial design and is a typical representative of the period. With high wooden ceiling and terracotta tile flooring, it is suitable for all sorts of stay. The house has 3 large bedrooms apart from the common living or lounge area. There is also a fully equipped kitchen and a dining room that seats 6-8 people. Also free wifi in all rooms. You could rent the whole house or individual rooms as you require. Each room comes attached with balcony, bath and dressing room. Walking distance from the Kottayam town railway station, yet nestled in a quiet neighbourhood, this wifi enabled place can also be used as a hub for your Kerala visit. It's on the road between the famed Kumarakom backwaters (14km away) and Thekkady in the Ghats(95km). Kochi airport is just 70km away. Food, laundry and travel facilities are available on request. We can help you rent a car to do the sight seeing in Kerala. The caretakers/owners would be happy to guide you to the local attractions and to familiarize you with the local culture should you desire it. We could also help you with your overall India trip, even suggest an itinerary for you and do your bookings.

Characterful, welcoming home

Reviewed By NailsAuckland

At an uncertain time, when a couple of COVID-19 cases had just been announced in the Kottayam area, Mathai was a very comforting host. Fenn Hall is quiet, elegant and a bit of a haven from the traffic of Kottayam. There are places to sit and read, clean and well-furnished period-feel rooms and although food is not officially provided on site, Mathai was able to provide us with a tasty home-cooked Keralan meal, and there are numerous options nearby from which food can be delivered. Morning breakfasts or other meals can easily be had at restaurants no more than 5-10 minutes walk away, in any case. Mathai is a very amiable and helpful host who can provide lots of information and advice and was also able to organise a taxi for us to move on, at a time when foreigners were looked on with an element of suspicion. I would not hesitate recommending Fenn Hall to anyone.

Meeting the owner of the property , Shatha ,was a treat and her mother just added to the whole experience . Freshly cooked authentic Syrian Christian cuisine was delicious.

Poor Service

Reviewed By AshwinAg13

Poorly maintained property. A property can be beautiful by virtue of location and the way it has been built . But service and maintenance is absolutely a different ball game . Bed linen is extremely poor. If you order on room service , they would say ‘no’ to mostly everything . Electric kettle not working in the room. House keeping takes very long . And the General Manager Mr Abhijeetis ready to say ‘no’ to everything . He can definitely give his excuses but his attitude is as if you are taking everything for free. Shortening my stay here !! Please choose wisely
