The Ginger House Museum
Having stayed there a full week, my wife and I are impressed by the richness of its physical environment and the attentiveness and kindness of its staff.
The hotel museum, in the 1500’s, a warehouse for ginger has been tranformed. It is full of wonderful Indian craft from different periods, many valuable: a “snake”boat more than 100 feet long, elephants, strange horselike creatures and many more. Doors and walls are painted and in some cases carved to reflect the antique style. I could go on.
The staff were extremely kind. When my wheelchair broke. they fixed it without charge; helped me in and out of the car. The owner frequently checked us at breakfast to make certain we were happy with the food. The manager, Allan in addition to helping us carry things often shared his extensive knowledge of the area guiding us to the best sites.
Check out Craft Tree if you are shopping for textiles/clothes—top notch!!!

Ginger House Museum Hotel is a unique gem in Jew Town. Within walking distance of the Pardesi synagogue and Mantecherry Palace. You need to get a tuktuk to visit Fort Kochi which costs around 100 rupees. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the rooms are incredible. Like mini museums themselves. It's also lovely to have the restaurant (which is a popular destination) just for guests at breakfast time! I definitely recommend it!

There is likely no place like this anywhere! As it says, a museum (and antiques shop) hotel. The ambience is stunning, as are the rooms. The owner is delightful and sets an example by waiting table and cleaning down tables himself. In the top five easily of my favourite hotels ever.

My international travels are plenty. There are only a handful of places that I would take the time to review. Hands down...this is one of them.
I’m addressing that type of traveler who wants to experience the real culture of the place that they are visiting... and a bit more.
The Ginger House is a hotel that shares space best described as a museum/gallery/collection of local art/artifacts/furniture that would blow your mind.
The accommodations are phenomenal and the details are off the charts. This is a hotel for those who enjoy unique and local charm all wrapped up in one.
The hotel manager Nishad started contacting me before I left the states...asking about my arrival and my preferences. He is extremely kind and professional.
The property director Manju greeted us at every breakfast with a smile and any amount of conversation that you desire.
The restaurant is situated exactly on the water’s edge...so that you can see the local fishermen(actually more women) pass by daily.
This is the real deal. You really have to see it for yourself. I hope you do.

Memorable stay with family
Fantastic 8 room boutique property in the heart of Jew Town in Kochi. Very spacious rooms, luxurious bathrooms with rain showers and automatic WCs, and Room no 2 and 4 have fabulous views of the water. The hotel is very tastefully made by the owner Mr Majnu who is a very hospitable host and takes personal care of you. The food at the restaurant is really delicious - a plus! The restaurant is outdoors and is by the water's edge, which makes for a great ambience. You step out of the hotel and you are a short walk or auto ride away from everything in Fort Cochin.
