At INR 1,500 A Night, Fort Muziris Homestay In Kochi Is Ideal For A Budget Weekend Getaway

Fort Muziris, a homestay situated in the heart of Fort Kochi, is open to all kinds of travellers — solo, couples, backpackers, and squad — who want to explore heritage Kerala without having to break the bank.

A typical Kerala-style architecture, the homestay houses three floors of laid-back comfort and convenience for discerning travellers who frequent this place. With six AC and non-AC rooms available for you to book, you could even plan a weekend getaway with the squad and explore the historic and culture-filled town of Fort Kochi. Common rooms and kitchenettes on every floor make things convenient if you want to mingle with other guests or make a cup of coffee. Room service, ensuite rooms, hot water, and free WiFi ensure your stay is comfortable. If you are looking for tours and guide, the help desk is there at your beck and call. The terrace and the car park sit-out are spots that you can unwind and relax if you are planning to stay indoors for a bit. Recliners and easy chairs make life easy and lazy.

The location of the homestay is hands down a winner. All you inquisitive travellers will find that the historical sites and places are all within walking distance from the property. You could start your day with a walk to the Fort Kochi beach or leave it for the end of the day to see the sun set. Chinese fishing nets are a must-visit location with evenings being the preferred time as you could get an Instagram-worthy image of the fishing nets silhouetted against the setting sun. St. Francis Church and Santa Cruz Basilica are also within a walking distance. Other landmarks of historical and cultural significance that you can include in your itinerary are the Jain Temple, the Indo-Portuguese Museum, the Jewish Synagogue, and Jew Town. The Jew Town in Mattancherry is famous for its antique shops that line the streets. Colonial buildings coupled with these shops add old-world charms.

The room rates on various third-party booking websites peg it at INR 1500 and upward {off season rates}, but we suggest you make an enquiry with the homestay.
