Fenn Hall - Indoor lodging in Kottayam - Kottayam, India

We visited Kottayam for a family trip with senior citizens and kids. The stay was very comfortable for all. Lot of memories made.

Amazing place with an authentic homestay experience. Lovely atmosphere and hosts.

We had a comfortable stay at FennHall for 3 weeks. very good location. restaurants, shops, markets nearby and for our purpose of visit it was a convenient location, nights were peaceful and noise free. good wifi, thanks to Mathai, Shyja and Anitha. suggestion, it would be good if you provide a small fridge in the room

Fenn Hall is a conveniently located place for those who want budget and basic accomodation. Its ideal for those on work or in transit at Kottayam. The 2 rooms given to us ( for 2 families - 3 adults and 3 kids) were large but ill equipped. There was not even a glass / bottle of water in the room or offered to us when we arrived from the station. We were shown the common water filter placed in the verandah outside the dining area next morning.There was an electric kettle kept outside the bathroom on the dresser with a few sachets of tea bags and milk powder along with the hand soaps.( !!) . So one is expected to fill water from the bathroom tap to make tea. The towels provided were unfresh, the shower in the bathroom was just a pipe without the shower head. So now you can get the picture that its not a well maintained property which you realise when you stay there. The owner who lives there kept saying the house is for you to use but never showed us around the house to gain access to any facility and is highly dependent (for any information or help) on the Manager who speaks only Malayalam and is around only for the working hours of her day. We booked based on the fantastic reviews of the place on the net but we were all greatly disappointed. So if you want an in-transit , inexpensive roof over your head for the night , then the location of the property is your major plus ....but be prepared to fend for yourself from your morning tea to mostly everything else.

The rooms were clean, the staff very cooperative and the place had a beautiful aura about it. The location is very accessible from anywhere is Kottayam with being able to order food on Zomato and Swiggy. You are also provided with a fridge in room which was very handy both for food and perishables. Will look forward to going back soon.

Decent homestay located opposite Kottaysm ollrctrate/ Civil Station. 2kms from Rly station and 5 kms from KSRTC stand. Decent room with a fridge, kettle, TV, cable and a wardrobe table chair, etc. Swiggy, zomato service available. Ease of travel. Friendly staff. Ac and non ac rooms available. Kitchen also available to cook. Overall good.

We stayed at this home stay. Room was booked and we reached at 8:30pm. From main road there was no advertisements or boards to guide.. There was noone at the hime stay they made us stand about 15minits and one of the guest in the homestay guided us and showed the room. When we checked in to the room room was not clean and full of dust even water bottle was not provided. No food available.. If u want have food at night you have to walk 2kms. Morning a lady manager was there and she gave us iron box.. We understand its 75years old home, we you give the guest it should be clean and dust free.. Atleast a refrigerator and tv should be there at the room. And minimum rooms should be cleaned for Rs 3500/- per day

Absolutely loved it. It was raining when I came. Mathai Fenn, the owner of the place, had a friendly chat before passing on the key to my room that was the first down the stairs. Outside was all green and lovely, I saw this only the next day. There's a lovely little pond too. The room was so neatly maintained. I loved most the writing table at the corner. Made myself a coffee with the kettle there in the morning. Serene stay it was, and quite near the station.
