Just stayed one night. Check in friendly and easy. Room had no view but was well equipped and decorated in a colonial style.

Nice pool area and good bar

Breakfast was biggest disappointment- more than enough variety but fruit poorly presented in tiny blocks that meant watermelon was mushy. Service definitely an area for improvement. No coordination between staff meant asking 3 times for a second coffee to get one and then no warm milk


Great location if your only in Cochin for a couple of days

Wonderful stay! The staff, room and premises was absolutely great! When two of us went down with the flu, the staff went above and beyond to help us, by getting a doctor on site, accomodating special food requests and constantly enquiring of our well being. The hotel itself is so gorgeous, with authentic instagram worthy Portuguese architecture! Shout out to Shaan and Jayachandran and other staff - thank you! Highly recommend the hotel!

Lovely historic hotel in the prime location of Fort Kochi. Excellent location to explore the city, with many of the attractions within very short walking distance. Two out of three nights we had dinner in the courtyard restaurant. Dinner was excellent with plenty of Kerela seafood options. At 4pm tea/snacks are also served in the courtyard which we would recommend. Staff were excellent and were very attentive to our concerns. The building itself is 400 years old and is very well maintained for its age, however some rooms do need some maintenance. The staff assured us they would take care of this during the off-season.

This is an extraordinary hotel, a colourful and unique oasis in the middle of bustling kochi.
The rooms were beautiful and large and cool with a hot shower and comfortable beds. The pool and communal areas were also gorgeous and tranquil. Breakfast was fine, a good selection. Staff were great also. The afternoon snacks were delightful and a really appreciated extra. The fresh lime soda from the bar was amazing. It is quite noisy as it is in the middle of the town so cars horns and dog barking are quite loud but the shutters help and this is unavoidable in its location. The hotel is well situated for walking out to nearby cafes and shops with local clothes and crafts as well as the local sights such as the beach and the st Francis church.

My husband and I initially booked our stay for about 3-4 days, but once we got there, my husband hurt his back and we extended our stay. The staff definitely went over and beyond to take care of us. We requested a 3-day treatment from the male massage therapist on staff - which helped my husband immensely. On top of it, we requested the staff for a doctor, who prescribed medicine for my husband, which the staff went and got for us. They checked on us and inquired about his back every single time they saw us. They even brought food from the breakfast buffet to our room since my husband's back was so bad he couldn't walk over to the restaurant area. It was just amazing. We can't wait to come back to this place the next time we're in Kerala!

What a fantastic experience at Forte Kochi! I have stayed at many places but this one was a truly special experience. You can look at the photos and note that it is a gorgeous and intimate place but for me it was the staff. They were extremely attentive, kind and, were aware of your needs even before you noticed. It takes a special team of people to elevate your experience to this level. I am definitely returning to this gem!

One night stay at Kochi

We were on our way back from a 5 day trip and stayed here for one night to visit Kochi. We stayed here on New Year's eve. The hotel seemed to be very popular amongst International guests. The front desk people are very polite and helpful and the overall staff is very friendly. The hotel is very clean and well maintained.
The rooms are good size. We had arrived before check in time, but they worked with us and helped us get our rooms early. They have their own restaurant wherein we enjoyed our lunch. We had stepped out during the evening to watch Kerala Kathakali show (walking distance from the hotel) so had dinner outside. However we enjoyed their breakfast buffet. There were many food options ranging form continental to Indian/south Indian food. All food was freshly prepared and was hot and delicious. You could also order food from a list wherein they will prepare it for you in the kitchen. It ranged from dosa, omelets, stuffed paratha. We really liked the ambience.
They also have arrangements for a free historic walking tour in the neighborhood starting at 7am. We really enjoyed the walk. Overall a good stay, will probably stay longer on our next visit to enjoy other hotel amenities.

Three wonderful days in Fort Kochi

Fort kochi is a beautiful heritage hotel, well maintained and full of wonderful history. It is furnished tastefully and has much charm. The staff in all sections are amazing, every staff member we dealt with from the gentleman who opened the main door to us on arrival, to the staff who attended to us in our rooms, in the bar, reception and restaurant were exceptional. The complementary breakfast and afternoon tea were such a bonus. The only negative comment - I wish we could have some daylight in the room. You can open the windows but then run the risk of mosquitoes entering. But this did not detract from a wonderful stay.

Forte Kochi is a beautiful property located on a quiet street yet close to shops, cafes, and historic sites. The rooms are gorgeous, esthetically and thoughtfully decorated. The staff and service is extraordinary. Mr. Chacko at the front desk is efficient and courteous. We would return to this heritage hotel in a heartbeat

A quaint heritage property made good for a relaxing stay in Fort Kochi area. The hotel is walking distance to many interesting places to visit and a short rickshaw ride away to the spice market and heritage monuments. The hotel caters to families and couples alike but solo travelers may find it a tad boring!

The friendly staff do look after you. The welcome drink was a lovely glass of fresh black grape juice and it brought back lovely memories of travelling & living in Kerala.

They offer a complimentary morning walking tour around the heritage sites. We gave that a miss due to the rains and other plans we made but I would recommend that to anyone going there for the first time.

Areas we felt needs to be looked into are -

1) Slippery floors and steps during monsoon season!

2) Restaurant food tends to be catered to non-Indians so made slightly less authentic in spice levels.

3) Coffee and Tea served in the restaurant missed the mark!

Overall, my family and I would definitely go back there the next time we’re in Fort Kochi!

Great location and beautiful setting

The location of the hotel not far from the port and close to the coastline was ideal. It is on a nice quiet street but walking distance to many tourist attractions and good places to eat. Excellent location and a very nice property. Suggest you upgrade for the nicer room. It is worth it.

Beautiful architecture and art all over the hotel

Wonderful stay, beautiful building and rooms with amazing art all over the place. Would highly recommend anyone staying here. The rooms are on the more expensive side but totally worth it if you can afford it.

I loved the people who worked here, especially Arpana! They were all so helpful an genuinely kind. The pool is spectacular! The chai and snacks by the pool will never be forgotten. The food at dinner with the poolside musicians playing traditional South Indian music was delightful and relaxing as well. I would definitely come back.

Probably the best hotel in Fort Kochi.

Forte Kochi hotel is located very close to the beach. It is beautifully renovated old house with wonderful tiles, great pool,antique furniture and great atmosphere. Traditional \"tea\" is served every day from 16:00 to 18:00 and live Indian music is played every day at the pool side from 20:00 to 21:00. The food is great and presented in very pleasant way. Staff is doing everything possible to please the guests- we were going on a tour and asked to get breakfast 30 minutes before the offical time and were told there is no problem. We also got lunch boxes when we were not able to have breakfast . Thank you Jarin and Ameer for your attitude.

40 unwanted guests in our room

We were bouncing around hotels in Fort Kochi and we spent one night here. The welcome was great and they served us fresh coconut water out of a coconut which I thought was more local (tip: ask them to cut it up for you after you're done drinking it for the coconut meat).

They have a nice pool, which is amazing if you have been out touring or even if you haven't! The heat gets to you, even in December, and being able to dip into a pool makes a difference.

They serve tea and local snacks by the pool which were really good.

My only complaint/warning was that our room directly next to the old Jewish Baptism Bath (Mikveh?) which is super cool to maintain on the property since its a great piece of history. But, I have a hunch, it's also the reason that upon checking into our room we were greeted by ~40 mosquitoes. (Not an exaggeration, I counted)

We were told that it was the season and I requested a zapper tennis racket and spent the first hour chasing mosquitoes while my wife looked miserable imagining what the night would be like. I spoke to other people staying there and they were on a higher floor and hadn't had the same issue so, either the room door was open while it was being cleaned and all the mosquitoes got in.

After the killing spree, the rest of the stay was fine, we spent quite a bit of time at the hotel after we checked out and the staff was super nice to us all the way to arranging for us to get a taxi when we had a hard time getting uber/ola to respond.
