We thought the for the price this place had a charm, the staff were gentle and helpful! Only problem was we asked for a 3rd bed - which wasn't available, someone  else was using it! So we were given a mattress on the floor. It was adequate! 
Still the room was clean and comfortable! We liked it here overall! 

We like this place-value for money! 

I don't easily give negative reviews. And admittedly, my experience is into a large extent related to Niyati not being what I was looking for. That is not the hotel's fault of course. I should have done my research better. It was very hot in Kochi and I had some writing work to finish, for which the hotel does not have any (outdoor) sitting spaces available. Not the hotel's fault. I needed some kind of terrace or garden to spend a part of the day. Hence, I decided to leave earlier than planned. They were nice enough to only charge me for the time spent. 

For it's price, in Kochi, this is probably good value. The location is also excellent. 

The place looks like it was once well designed, but the maintenance is not so great and the pictures in my room were very mouldy for example. I had one of the larger rooms on the first floor. Nothing wrong with the room per sé. It's basic, but that's ok. There is an extreme lack of privacy as one 'wall' consists entirely of glass and looks directly into the other rooms (and vice versa). So during the day, you are either on display for everyone to see, or you need to keep all curtains closed. 

The bathroom did not feel particularly clean, but was also not particularly dirty. The sheets on the other hand had blood and other stains all over. I think they had been washed, but the stains remained. Also, there were clothes and underwear of another (previous) guest in my wardrobe ... doesn't really speak for the cleaning services either. 

I arrived relatively late in the evening. Somebody brought me to my room without any information being provided whatsoever. After asking, I learned that it's not possible to have breakfast at the hotel. Something that I should have checked before. 

In any case, this was not the right place for me. 

Niyati 

Niyati hotel was a great base for our group of four friends to explore the Fort Kochi area and greater Kochi city. The hotel is in a beautiful restored historic building, with high-ceilinged rooms, extremely comfortable beds, a cool inner courtyard, and a top floor bar (not quite rooftop, but enclosed and airy) which is a nice feature, as alcohol is not easily available at most other establishments.
The hotel location is perfect, within close walking distance to many cute shops and restaurants and the waterfront. It is a 15 minute walk to the ferry to Ernakulam, which is the more modern and populated, less tourist/historic main part of Kochi city--highly recommended this. 

The gracious host, Sanjeev, was extremely welcoming and friendly. He was consistently available to give us great travel advice for our Kochi exploration, share interesting stories, and to share an afternoon chai while waiting for our evening flight back home. He arranged transportation for the four of us, all flying out from Kochi airport at different times while the whole city was shut down for a political visit (budget 1.5h travel time for this). 

Mohammed was also a very friendly staff member. He helped make us comfortable and showed us some fun Malayali songs.

Wonderful place and wonderful staff. Great place to start exploring Kochi.

Such a beautiful stay with lovely hosts. It's very peaceful and the surroundings are so pleasant. Rooms are very clean and love that fragrance of old wood. We had an amazing view with huge class wall opening up to some beautifully arranged plantations. Thanks Francis for hosting us

My Third Home Now !

The moment you walk in, the place exudes an aesthetic feel and has a rustic look, which is what makes it very attractive. For a slightly finicky traveller like me, the toilet is clean and sheets are fresh from the laundry. It’s also very strategically located and close to the waters. Must visit is what I’d say.
 

Excellent property !

A good location for seeing places of interest in Fort Kochi, near shops, restaurants and beach. Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Basic rooms but with everything you need, including a good shower, TV, tea and coffee. 

Lovely hotel

We had a day to stopover at Kochi on our way to Kumarakom. Booked a basic budget room with AC. The Hotel was exactly what is described of it, boutique. The design elements blend organically, nothing is out of place. The stairs, artwork, curios, decor, a beautiful green patch are all in perfect balance & characterise Niyati. We enjoyed the simple breakfast, fresh from the Adukkalai (kitchen) with choices of South Indian fare or toasts with eggs. The rooms are clean with comfortable beds to sleep, well maintained toilets and showers.
Niyati is a great choice for travellers wanting to explore Fort Kochi & is an extension of the old world charm of this part of town. You can walk around and explore the fishing area, offers a choice of cafes, cycle or walking trails and shopping choices all in close quarters. Hire an autorickshaw to wade through the lanes to make a trip to Jew Town visiting the spice bazaar,  the palace & synagogue, shopping for curios/antiques or simply sip your fav beverage from the cafes watching the street as time passes by.
The staff at Niyati are warm, friendly & non-intrusive. We will make another trip to Fort Kochi to experience the stay in one of the rooms that has a large window to the garden below.

Quaint, boutique, a hidden jewel

Niyati is a very pretty place. Peaceful and beautiful. would defnitely go there anytime we visit fort cochin. The hosts are realy kind and helpful. Rooms are clean and tidy and the one with the garden view on top was the favorite.

would recommend the place anyday

We enjoyed our stay here. The room was cozy and the staff was very nice and the breakfast was great. The location is great. It's right in the centre of fort Kochi... and most places are walking distance.

Best place to stay

Niyati is a charming boutique hotel with a range of rooms (from bare bones with no a/c to boutique rooms with simple but lovely decor and most importantly a/c). Fort Kochi is hot, so we felt the a/c rooms were a must! We also very much liked the shared spaces: the restaurant and the rooftop lounge area. And the location is great, just a few minutes to a range of restaurants, cafes, shops, the waterfront, and a fabulous park for anyone with littles. They also very kindly arranged a car to the airport for us. Breakfast was simple but good - a typical Kerala meal, coffee or tea. They were thoughtful to accommodate our children and make them eggs and toast. Guests ranged from young singles and couples to families to seniors, a nice and eclectic mix. Recommendation: best meal of our week-plus stay in Kerala (in three different locations) was dinner at the Old Harbour Hotel, the chef there is absolutely fabulous and prices are reasonable.

The mosquitos were something to fend off, but it's not specific to Niyati but the entire area. Bring repellant to Kochi! There were a few small issues with our rooms but overall we had a really lovely experience and shared the room issues with the hotel so they can address them for future guests. My only suggestion would be to have a comfortable English speaker at the desk for arrivals. Most of the guests seemed to be foreigners, like us, and when we arrived and checked in the young man at the desk, while friendly, had very limited English.
