Niyati Boutique Stay

Every time I wanted to go somewhere in Fort Kochi, I'd grab my car keys, walk to the car, put the location in Google Maps and find that my destination was 300-600 meters away.
That's how great the location of my hotel, Niyati Boutique Stay was. We was steps away from popular streets, cafes, restaurants and boutiques and we walked everywhere!
Charming rooms and heritage architecture aside, this spot is not only a convenient launch pad to explore Fort Kochi from, it is also affordable! The rooms are simple and clean with basic amenities - everything you would need, nothing more, nothing less.

P S. They have a bar attached to the hotel that's so obscure, it feels like discovering a secret when you walk in.

My husband and I wanted to stay in the heart of Fort Kochi and experience the rich history of this part of the country. That's why Niyati has been such a perfect stay for us. The room was clean, spacious, beautifully decorated. The people managing this space were so nice, friendly, and helpful. This is an old Dutch house that has been restored into a homestay, so a lot of the furniture and artefacts used for decor are hundreds of years old. And the location is spot on, right in the center, making it easy for us to explore Fort Kochi and come back for some rest. Highly recommend staying here. We are definitely coming back. Thank you❣

I visited in monsoon so the stay seemed really cozy. Plus the staff hosted us very well. Located near really good cafes and restaurants. Street this stay is located in itself is really amazing too.

A Blissful Home Away from Home: Niyati Boutique Hotel - A Haven of Warmth and Hospitality.

I am overflowing with gratitude for Francis and his incredible team at Niyati Boutique Hotel in Kochi. They welcomed me like family, creating an unforgettable experience. This review is my heartfelt thank you, and I can't wait to return!

Niyati Boutique Hotel is a hidden gem in Kochi, radiating elegance and charm. The attention to detail in its contemporary yet traditional Kerala design is impeccable.

But what truly sets Niyati Boutique Hotel apart is the warm hospitality. Francis and his team made me feel cherished, catering to my every need. They went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and happiness.

The rooms are tranquil and sophisticated, offering a blend of comfort and style. The culinary experience was exceptional, with talented chefs creating culinary masterpieces. Every meal was a delight, especially the special tea that kept coming at my request.

To Joseph Francis and his team, thank you for treating me like family. Your passion and attention to detail are extraordinary. I eagerly await my return, and I hope you always keep a room ready for me. Niyati Boutique Hotel is a haven I never want to leave.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Excellent stay experience - We stayed for two nights, and the experience was fantastic. The hotel has spacious rooms, great meals, and a peaceful atmosphere. It also had clean bathrooms and well-kept corridors. The rooms at Niyati don't appear like typical hotel rooms with four walls; rather, they have a vintage, maintained atmosphere with modern conveniences. The cost of the rooms is reasonable for everyone, and the quality of the service is well beyond the standard.
Throughout my stay, Mr Muhammad, a very welcoming and professional staff member, was there to support me. As a new visitor to Cochin, we were sceptical about the shops and exciting places to hang out, but Mr Muhammad recommended the best restaurants, hangout spots, and shopping routes that were well worth following.

Many thanks to Niyati for a delightful stay in Fort Kochi.

Quite a haven in Fort Kochi. I loved the dark wood and white linen.

Very close and in the heart of old Kochi. Easy walking all around from there. Great service at the hotel and clean rooms

Glad that we stayed here to bring in the New Year. Fabulous place to stay and explore. The newly opened bar is the cherry on the cake. Wonderful staffs and great owner Mr. Francis. Warm, caring and fun. Wish we had an extension of our stay. Liked every bit of it. Highly recommended if you are in Kochi.

A wonderful place for a weekend getaway. Very nice staff and service.

Niyati has their own small bar that serves beer and wine upstairs. The rooms are spacious and cozy bathroom are nice and neat

Hot water is available 24*7
There is a mini fridge and a kettle and tea bags.

The rooms overlook a Green space and have large windows.

Niyati is hands down a hidden gem in Fort Kochi! From all the best cafes, eateries and shops right around the corner, Niyati is accessible and provides the best service. The room we had was just spectacular! It was a sad day leaving the beautiful serene view of our room.
If you are in Fort Kochi, this is the best stay for the price I'm sure!

Niyati Boutique Stay is a great place to stay in while on a vacation in the Fort Kochi area. The best part about this place is its location. It is located at a stone's throw from the Chinese Fishing Nets. The famous Princess Street is located a lane away as well. The staff were very helpful with details around the locality. We wanted to check-in early but were unable to do so because of full occupancy. Even then, the staff helped with keeping our luggage and provided us with a common washroom for usage.

The place is priced on the higher side. We had booked via MakeMyTrip even though it is available on AirBnb as well. But because of the convenience of the location, we went ahead with booking this place. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

A nice lil boutique stay bang in between Fort Nagar from where most things to see in Kochi are walkable. We had the King Suite and the room was really aesthetic and cosy. Great lil touches of personality throughout. They have a nice lil resto-bar adjoining the property that plays great music. Service/staff was friendly and helpful. Great experience staying here.

Mom, dad and I stayed at @theniyatiexperience boutique stay during our visit to Fort Kochi. The place is magical to those who appreciate finer details. The architecture, the vaulted ceilings, the decor, art, everything captures the old world , rustic charm. Mohammed (sic) who is the manager of the property was kind, welcoming and friendly. Nothing bad to say, except, the maintenance could be better (paying closer attention to the condition of electrical fittings and clean(er) sheets). Regarding mosquitoes:make sure to close windows windows and doors during evening hours and get a mosquito spray/balm for yourselves.

A comfortable and well-maintained property at a great location in Fort Kochi. A walkable distance to the beach, shops, cafes and restaurants make it an ideal place to stay if you intend to explore Fort Kochi. Shout out to the wonderful host Sanjeev and his cats 🥳

Literally loved the place. We were a group of 5 including my parents and each one of us loved the place. It was super calm and quite around.

Most importantly I want to appreciate the entire team Niyati for the initiative they have taken towards sustainable tourism. Language is not enough to talk about this gem in Fort Kochi.

One of the, if not, the best best boutique hotel in Fort Kochi! Right at the heart of the town, the rooms & the service, both exceptional. Super friendly staff and owner. Would definitely recommend. They also have a private beer & wine parlour on the top. Excellent over-all ✨ 👍🏼

Cosy, Ambient, Vintage and Modern at the sametime. You can feel The Fort Kochi Vibe at this Place. They have a New Bar Opened now to the Public and Pvt Bar too specially for inmates. This Place is a great place to make Memories and feel Home.

Fantastic boutique hotel on a quiet street in the heart of Kochi! We stayed in the garden view room, which I cannot recommend enough. It was spacious, cool and had beautiful art on the walls. The staff are all incredibly friendly and there is a cute restaurant attached that served delicious masala dosas for breakfast. This was possibly one of the best hotels we stayed in on our 4 month trip! Thank you Niyati! ♥
