Forte Kochi

The hotel has a historic heritage that makes a stay here a truly unique experience. The team shows care to the guests, from the online guest reservation team who suggested an extra night reservation to guarantee early check in to Chacko at front desk who finished our check in process in our room as we are very tired from our overnight journey. Ashak was very attentive to our F&B orders in the lounge and chef always check in on our level of satisfaction with our food. The hotel has two storeys and no lift, but it has a two *** butler team to transport the luggages. We were here for a short two day stay but it really felt like home. They arranged our airport transport and were attuned to which guests had what tour arranged and would alert us when our guides came. The location is perfect with many shops nearby and also local eats (But keep one meal at the hotel for the traditional Kerala dance show). Would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to experience Kochin. The aryuvedic massage was a highlight for a senior traveling with us as her legs were so tired from waking and the masseuse would schedule follow up appointments. All in all, it made our holiday experience so heart warming.

Forte Kochi has become hands down one of my all time top stay experiences in India. From the check-in welcome to in-room facilities, the hotel lived up to its hype every single bit. We had a 1 night stay at the property and every moment we spent at the property was delightful. You're welcomed so warmly by the well-trained and friendly staff in the traditional way and then someone guides you through all the details of your booking and tells you more about the hotel. The rooms are fantastically done. Very well-maintained and beautifully decorated. There’s a seamless blend of the old with the new. You get the essence of living in a heritage building yet you get all the modern amenities you could ever think about, including the likes of mini freezer, iron, electronic safe, etc. Pool was clean. Loved the fact that they provided sunbeds & towels too. Every single aspect has been thoughtfully done so that all your needs are catered to. Food deserves a special mention too. The breakfast buffet was quite well stocked. From South Indian options to different varieties of breads, you will be spoilt for choices. Also loved the seafood platter we had for lunch and the pasta for dinner.  You can have candlelight dinner by the side of the pool while enjoying a traditional Kuchipudi performance. We also attended their morning heritage walk around the Fort Kochi neighbourhood. Our storyteller was very well informed and made the walk quite engaging. It was wonderful to dive deeper into the region's rich heritage and culture. The hospitality here really stayed with me. Definitely coming back in the future with my family to stay longer.

Wonderful property and Very hospitable staff always trying to ensure all had a comfortable and delightful stay. The pool area is beautiful and had a Wonderful ambience. Breakfast buffet was wonderful with lots of choices. Will definitely be back. Also very centrally located for site seeing

This was our first trip to India, and only had a few days. Forte Kochi Hotel was a beautiful little resort situated in a great area for checking out the few sites the town has to offer. The morning village tour was a nice way to learn about the area, and the evening music at dinner was enjoyable. The buffet breakfast had a ton of options and we enjoyed trying a bit of everything. Staff are friendly, and the bed was comfortable. Jijo was a great driver during our time there, and made us feel at ease. The complimentary afternoon tea was nice to sample local snacks, although I do think their chai was too heavy in milk and not enough tea, or maybe not brewed long enough when we tasted the tea. I think the area is very touristy and the tour people and shop owners are incredibly pushy, but that is not a reflection on the hotel itself just an observation of the area. We were there only half a day when we arrived, and stayed just until breakfast the next day, but this was enough for us to see most of what was there. I wouldn’t stay longer in Kochi unless you plan day trips or want a tour of the Jewish area or shopping at the Lulu center that is a bit further away. Overall I would recommend this hotel if you are planning to stay in Fort Kochi.

Beautiful boutique hotel located in a handy location too the sights with shopping and eateries at the doorstep. Staff were very friendly and attentive and rooms spacious with super comfy beds. Breakfast range was extensive with a good mix of western and local choices. A great base to explore Fort Kochi.

A beautiful heritage hotel that belonged to a prominent Jewish Keralan fanily. There is still a mikvah in the grounds of the hotel. We had a beautiful room overlooking the swimming pool. The bed was super comfortable with an en-suite shower room. Breakfast was a feast of both Indian and European breakfast items Fresh fruits including dragon fruit and pomegranates were on offer as well as freshly squeezed juices; eggs and bacon was cooked to order. There were lots of places to sit around the pool. The hotel is well located with a money exchange and tourist centre at the bottom of Queen Street and lots of interesting shops in the surrounding area
