At Niko Hotels, we believe that true hospitality comes from the heart—and that heart is our team. While our modern amenities, cozy rooms, and excellent location in Kadavanthra, Kochi, make us one of the best hotels in the city, it’s the people behind the scenes who make a guest’s stay truly unforgettable.

This blog is a tribute to our incredible team—many of whom have been with us for years, some even over a decade—building Niko Hotels into the welcoming space it is today.

A Legacy of Loyalty
In an industry known for high turnover, we’re proud to say that several of our staff members have been with us for the long run. From the housekeeping department to the kitchen and front desk, their commitment to quality, cleanliness, and care has been the backbone of our guest experience.

For instance, Suma Sunil, a vital part of our kitchen team, joined us back in December 2019. Her expertise and calm energy in the kitchen have helped us serve hundreds of satisfied guests—especially during our popular complimentary breakfast service every morning.

Then there’s Mini Sunny, who became part of the Niko family in May 2023. From day one, she brought not only skill but an infectious positivity that brightens the day for guests and fellow staff alike.

Behind the Scenes: Stories of Dedication
These long-serving team members don’t just work here—they’ve grown here. Many joined as young professionals and evolved with the hotel, taking on new responsibilities, training others, and keeping our standards high.

Our housekeeping team, for example, takes immense pride in making sure every corner of Niko remains spotless. Their attention to detail has often been praised in guest reviews, and they continue to set the standard for hospitality in Kochi.

A Culture of Belonging
What keeps them here? According to many staff members, it’s the sense of belonging. At Niko Hotels, we foster an environment where every person is valued—not just as an employee, but as a part of our story.

Mr. Davis Sebastian, our founder, and Mrs. Mami Davis, who brings a unique Japanese perspective to Indian hospitality, have always believed in treating every staff member with respect and warmth. That culture of mutual care is reflected in the way our team treats our guests—with genuine smiles, prompt service, and heartfelt hospitality.

Thank You, Team Niko
As we continue to grow and welcome guests from all around the world, we know that it’s the strength and dedication of our staff that makes Niko Hotels one of the best places to stay in Kochi. Their stories inspire us every day, and we’re proud to have them as the face of Niko.

To our team—thank you for your years of service, your smiles, and your stories.
