Kanayannur编年史
Kanayannur, formerly known as Cochin, has a history dating back to the 14th century when it was a major trading port for the Portuguese. Over the centuries, the city has been influenced by various rulers, including the Dutch, British, and Portuguese, leaving behind a rich architectural legacy. The Mattancherry Palace, built by the Portuguese in 1555, is one of the oldest European-built structures in India. Today, Cochin is a thriving commercial and cultural hub, with a blend of traditional and modern attractions. The city's vibrant cultural scene is reflected in its numerous festivals, including the annual Onam celebrations.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Vimala Hostel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (above 3rd floor) for a quieter stay, as the lower floors may experience noise from the street, especially if you're planning to sleep in. The 3-star rating suggests a decent level of soundproofing, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. Additionally, rooms on the higher floors will likely have better airflow and a more pleasant view of the surrounding area.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, as they may be closer to the service entrance and potentially receive more foot traffic noise. Also, be aware that rooms near the lift may experience some vibrations and noise, so it's best to opt for rooms farther away from the lift shaft.
Best views
As the hotel is located in Kanayannur, you can expect views of the surrounding streets, shops, and possibly the nearby river if you're on a higher floor. Don't expect breathtaking views, but it's still a good way to get a feel for the local area.
Quietest floors
The higher floors from 4th to 6th (if available) are likely to be the quietest, considering the hotel's layout and the fact that they're away from the street.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some street noise, especially if you're a light sleeper. The hotel's 3-star rating suggests it's a decent option for a short stay, but if you're looking for complete silence, you might want to consider a different property.
Insider tips
Request a room with a window that faces the street for a glimpse of the local life. Also, arrive early for check-in to ensure you get a room on a higher floor, as the hotel might be fully booked, especially during peak travel seasons.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
