We recently stayed at the O by Tamara. Excellent experience overall. Loved the personal and welcoming service from everyone and special mention to chef Vipin. He was extremely friendly and helpful. Thanks to the entire team.
The stay was excellent, and the rooms are spacious. The staff was very polite and courteous. However, there was a persistent smell in the bathroom that remained even after cleaning. Apart from that, everything else was perfect.
Located 2km form kovalom beach but can walk there
Typical Indian standard 4 stars Hotel setting and if got group the pool congested and busy wedding function. Breakfast limited non vegetarian menu.
ゲゲストthe base rooms in the old section of the building were very small, and there was no ventilation. thess rooms were just under their restaurant and was separate from the building that was shown in the pictures. since we were two females travelling the hotel ”upgraded” me to an ”executive” room which was in the new section of the hotel. that room was even smaller with one 5×4 bed and just enough space to pass through. the only advantage was it was in the new section and didn't look secluded.
breakfast options were very limited.
the best thing about the hotel was it's location. situated in the heart of fort kochi, it is very close to the fort kochi beach and other attractions.

Hotel Prayana offers a budget-friendly stay in Kochi, with a prime location within walking distance of North Station. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-maintained, making it a comfortable choice for travelers looking for a simple place to rest. However, the hospitality could be improved, as the service felt average, and a promised welcome drink was missing upon arrival. The AC was a bit slow, but it worked fine overall.
One downside is the restaurant next to the hotel, which I would advise against due to its poor quality. Additionally, the absence of a complimentary breakfast was disappointing, especially for the price. the hotel offers good value for those seeking a quiet, no-frills stay. While it's not a luxury experience, it's decent for a budget option and provides a calm atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle.
ゲゲストI was weary about booking as the website photos looked quite tired. All of the photos are really old - it was an amazing stay and so much better than I expected. I enjoyed the complementary pottery making and the tea cart in the afternoons. The food à la carte was absolutely delicious. I avoided the buffet a bit as I do in all hotels. The pool is clean and there is excellent service, with staff helping you with towels, umbrellas, and drinks. The rooms are really pretty. Good air con. The gym is good and has air con although the air con is not as powerful as in the bedrooms. The gym has two treadmills, a static bike, basic leg press, weight rack and bench, and some of the arm/shoulder machines too. There were only a few downsides. 1) The beach that it backs onto is actually quite gross (there was nappy in the sand and gunk that looked like sewage), but it’s easy to avoid this. 2) The beach has a real drop from the sand into sea so it’s not very safe to swim in unless you want to be smacked against the bank. These two things don’t matter though as the hotel is lovely and there is enough to do that you don’t need to go on the beach. 3) I booked 2 nights in one booking and 1 night in another booking. I asked when I booked the single, third night, whether I can keep the same room. They said they’d let me know at check in. They didn’t let me know at check in. They said they’d tell me on the second day in the day, but nothing. I kept asking at reception and I called them on the phone twice, and they kept saying they’d call me back. It was 9.30pm on the night before I’d have to move rooms before they told me I could stay. I’m not really sure why it took so long or they messed me around on this as 3 of my exact rooms were available on the website for those nights, so by that logic it would not have been a problem!
ゲゲストGreat hotel with all the comforts and amenities of a 4 star like category hotel. The bathroom, bed, toiletries, towel etc are top notch. The staffs are very polite and courteous. The complimentary breakfast is awesome.
