Richmond Hotel Kochi

Richmond Hotel Kochi is a hotel in Kochi City that connects directly to the Obiyamachi arcade shopping street. Its prime location—within walking distance of Kochi Castle, the Sunday Market, and Harimaya Bridge—is a key appeal. The hotel has 234 rooms, and the clean, modern rooms feature duvet-style bedding. Each room has a large desk, making it popular with repeat business travelers. The rooms are bright with strong lighting, which is also a plus for families. Child amenities (body sponge, slippers, toothbrush) are provided, giving a welcoming atmosphere for kids. Breakfast is highly rated: a half-buffet style where you choose one of four main dishes, with seasonal Kochi flavors packed into the menu. Pricing is reasonable and overall tourist satisfaction is high. The hotel also has coin laundry, and there’s a convenience store right after entering the arcade. Access: about a 12-minute walk from JR Kochi Station South Exit.
