- "Our stay here was absolutely perfect. The staff were so helpful and kind, the food was amazing (and plentiful). Cannot fault our stay here." - "Jose is the owner and is in site for alot of the time.  We were helped alot by Tina, food cooled by Suda. They were friendly informative and the right amount of interaction. Jose was very friendly and gave me a lesson on tying a dhoti.  Above and beyond service level from everyone. The arrival communications were rec'd via WhatsApp and nothing was really out. Jose also has 2 houseboats and is able to slot you into a number of options.   We did a sunrise tour 6.00 - 9.00 and it was amazing.  We saw village life in the small canals from a small boat of 6 people.  The boat cruises along slowly and it was a very special local tour  Our 2nd tour was an overnight boat.  We arrived at 12 and disembarked at 9 the next morning.   The boat was very good, high quality for us and another couple.  Food was tremendous including fish and prawns.   Beer was booked and available on board.  We both loved the calm trip and feel it was good value and worth a day or two. Close to the bus station and multiple temples. Nice and quiet at night and serene in the day. The food here is fantastic. We had a choice of European (eggs, toast, jam and butter) or Kerala sambar, idlii and dosa. We stayed for three days and requested what we wanted the night before. We had two evening meals and the food is exceptional, mixture of vegetarian, fish or meat on request.  Water is provided and beer is 250rs for a bottle. The food could be cooked to your taste and we had different levels of heat and spicing.  Nothing was too much trouble and the portions were generous. We had a large double bedded room with AC and fan.  The room was extremely clean. Bedding good quality and pillows nice and firm. We had an ensuite bathroom(wet room) which was spacious. There's a separate kitchen area with fridge and kettle. "

- "I recently had the pleasure of staying at Ginger Museum Hotel during my trip to Kochi. The staff at Ginger Museum go above and beyond to ensure that guests feel welcome and valued. The check-in process for me( at 2 AM ) was seamless, and the reception staff was not only efficient but also genuinely friendly, providing all the information I needed about the hotel's amenities and services. My room was a true sanctuary - impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the modern conveniences one could ask for. The bed was a dream to sleep on, and the attention to detail in room design did not go unnoticed. The hotel's commitment to cleanliness and comfort truly shone through. One of the highlights of my stay was the dining experience. The hotel's restaurant showcased a delectable menu of Kerala food. I loved the choice for breakfast.- Egg curry, Kerala Parota etc . The dinner was perfect for me with mouth watering Chicken 65 and Fish Kebabs , washed down with Kingfisher beer. What truly sets Ginger Museum Hotel apart is the dedication of its staff ( including the warm unassuming owner Mr Majnu). Every encounter with the hotel's team was marked by genuine kindness and a commitment to ensuring my stay was nothing short of perfect. From the reception staff assisting me with my luggage to the housekeeping staff who went the extra mile to keep my room pristine, every member of the team contributed to the overall positive experience. In conclusion, my stay at GInger Museum was a delightful blend of luxury, comfort, and exceptional service. I left with a sense of gratitude for the memorable experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a memorable stay in Kochi. I look forward to returning to Ginger Museum Hotel in the future with my family and reliving the wonderful memories created during my stay. Thank you all Dr Navin Menon"
