Hotels near Santa Cruz Basilica

"Tissa's Inn is a wonderful hotel decorated with beautiful artwork and antiques. When you arrive you are greeted by warm wonderful people and a fruit punch. The room is large, well appointed and very comfortable. The location is extremely convenient. You can walk to the cultural center, Chinese fishing nets, plenty of shopping, and restaurants. The pool on the roof is surrounded by comfortable lounge chairs. The restaurant is outstanding! Chef Biju uses fresh ingredients (fish caught that day), comes to your table to talk to you about your options, and creates incredibly delicious meals. We ate there several nights because of the quality and variety. Truly, Tissa's Inn is a beautiful accommodation, but the best thing about Tissa's Inn are the people. Sanitha, the reservation manager, made sure our stay was magical from the moment we walked through the door. Everyone who worked there was kind. We would not consider staying anywhere else when we return!"

"Wonderful room, peaceful, great food and room service. Staff was kind and helpful. "

"Renovated Portuguese-era building. Immaculate condition, while being faithful to its historic roots. A/C worked perfectly . Shower great. Beds super comfortable. Staff was attentive and hospitable. The hotel/ inn is 1 min from the Chinese fishing nets & is perfectly placed for nice shops and a handful of restaurants. Of the 6 properties in which I stayed on a 2-wk trip, this was easily my favorite. For visitors flying into COK airport, be aware that with standard traffic it’s 75-90 minutes to the property. (If you transit overnight, it’s more like 45 minutes.)"
