Apartments in Kochi offer a cost-effective alternative to hotels, with rates starting around $20-$40 per night. Most are concentrated in Fort Kochi, near the historic Chinese Fishing Nets and Santa Cruz Basilica, or in the Ernakulam district for business travelers. Properties like Taj Mahal Hotel (Superb 92) provide direct beachfront access and yoga classes, while Safari Homestay Fortkochi (Superb 92) offers a garden and free parking just 600 meters from Fort Kochi Beach. For those arriving by air, the Spacious 2BHK Near Airport (Superb 92) includes a full kitchen and airport shuttle.
These apartments typically feature free WiFi, private bathrooms, and often shared kitchens or terraces. Many are homestays where hosts provide local tips and breakfast. Families will appreciate DreamCatcher Residency (Fabulous 85) with bike hire and yoga, or Sea Hut Homestay (Fabulous 86) with sea views and a children's playground. Budget travelers can choose Fort Bridge View (Very Good 80) near major landmarks. Book early for the best rates, especially during the November-February peak season.
