Introduction
The Old Courtyard Hotel offers an affordable, relaxed setting, as easy to be alone as to socialize. It's centrally located, with plenty of attractions right outside the door. The live classical music in summer is enchanting.
It is old - over 200 years, to be precise, built by the Portuguese when Cochin was their window to the spice trade; and it is centered on a cobbled courtyard, the heart of this delightful little hotel Old Courtyard.
