Sonnetta homestay is situated in a prime location in Fort Kochi. Its owner was very helpfull for booking backwater excursion and transport to Munnar. Breakfasts were excellent. All staff were exceptionally nice.
Sonnetta Residency is a homestay located in the heart of Fort Kochi district in Princess St. It is in easy walking distance to the foreshore and Chinese nets as well as the ferry service. Breakfast is included in the price but other meals are unavailable, however there are many very good and reasonably priced restaurants in walking distance in Princess St, Rose St and others. It was nice to be able to try so many. I suggest A/C room as it can get quite hot. The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. They can arrange tours, taxis, etc if needed. Kochi felt very relaxing and I would be happy to stay at Sonnetta Residency again.
Sonetta ligger vÀldigt centralt i Fort Cochin. NÀra till det mesta och alltid en ricksha inom rÀckhÄll. Familjen / personalen pÄ hotellet vÀldigt trevlig och hjÀlpsam. Frukostmatsalen var liten, förmodligen deras eget kök... Duschen fungerade men det blev vÄtt i hela toaletten nÀr man duschade. HotellÀgare delade gÀrna med sig av en massa bra tips
Reliable hot water (unusual in India), comfortable bed, great location.
Staff super helpful (many thanks for sorting out an airport taxi for us at a very short notice after we were stood up by our driver).
A pleasant hotel in the centre of Fort Cochin within easy walking distance of restaurants, sights and transport. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a convenient, budget alternative to big chain hotels. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

The owner, staff, and other guests are very friendly. Sonnetta can help you arrange day trips and more in the area. The place is very clean: people are asked to leave shoes in a rack downstairs. Breakfast is small and cooked on-the-spot-- a good opportunity to meet other travelers, since we sit together. My room was for four people and worked well. I see that there are many equally well located places to stay in Fort Kochi, but I would stay at Sonnetta again because of the owner and people who work there.
This home stay provided me with almost three weeks accommodation at an excellent room rate. I was staying longer than most since Fort Cochin is a very popular destination for backpackers and turnover at the home stay was high. It wouldn't be fair to rate this accommodation in the same way as a hotel. Nevertheless, the room was comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful in every respect.
Close to everything but the airport. Good WiFi new flat screen. Lots of hot water. Nice family atmosphere, well maintained. Next time I'll stay here again.I
The staff here are amazing. They are welcoming and willing to help in any way they can to make your stay memorable and help you feel at home. They organized our tour experiences and transfers at a moments notice. The facilities and room amenities are basic and a little old, but the room was incredibly clean and very comfortable. Bottled water is always provided. Great value for money. Cafes, restaurants, shopping, beach and bars are just a few minutes walk in this beautiful area. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and recommend to all travelers and backpackers.
This was my first visit to Cochin and I couldnât have asked for a better experience. The hosts were wonderful, the hotel is situated in a great location in Fort Cochi. I look forward to returning.
