Please have some of their food!I will go back to India just to eat their food and see our new friends at Cohin again!... more Our stay in India was even more special because of the hospitality of the Padikkal Family!..If you are looking for a great, safe, loving environment, we recommend your stay here! Please have some of their food!I will go back to India just to eat their food and see our new friends at Cohin again! We highly recommend it. Walking distance to all and safe community. (our only recommendation is to give yourself about 2 hours to get to the airport, since you are destine to hit traffic!) Thank you for all to the family! We hope to see you again.close

Our non Ac room was very warm. The owners are friendly and helpful. We enjoyed sitting on the verandah overlooking the road in the early evening and the Keralan breakfasts in the family dining room.

The family was so nice and friendly. It was warm (read: really hot) in Cochin when we were there, and we actually opted not to get AC. Without AC, our room was totally affordable and exactly what we were looking for.

I'm not the kind who usually critics but this was to much. Even beetween the brushes of my tooth brush. A good clean up in the kitchen downstairs would help with some professional help. I'm sad to tell you this because the place is very nice. I ask the others in other rooms and they din't have that problem. So if you go be sure not to take the room over the kitchen.close

Four of us stayed there over the New Year period and had a great time - the family are very helpful and the breakfast is very nice indeed. I will definitely go back there.

2 minutes walk from the main area of fort cochin, so not too noisey. We're going back so we must like it! Owners are very pleasant people.

The family running Padikkal was very accomodating and friendly. I highly recommend this as the place to stay in Cochin. We also enjoyed a fantastic traditional Indian dinner that she spent two hours preparing and it was delicious.

A delightful stay enjoyed by all, the family atmosphere is tangible from the start with a staff who will do anything they can to help you. Not a lot to do in the immediate area but is within driving distance of all Kerala is famous for. The kids are magic and love nothing more than a game of...

The Paikkal was a great place to stay. The hosts are very friendly and will do anything to make your stay in Cochin more enjoyable. The food is great and the breakfasts make the stay woth while alone.
