Brunton Boatyard - CGH Earth

Perfect location for exploring Kochi and watching the river traffic....everything from punts to cruise liners and container ships. Many comment on the noise of the ferry, but we thought it just added to the overall experience and so interesting to watch it loading and unloading! All the staff were attentive and friendly. Complimentary High Tea and Evening Boat trip were excellent. Breakfast was delicious, with enormous choice and we really appreciated the old-world charm of being served at the table - very civilized. We only ate in the restaurant on one night and food was very good. Comfort and room quality was excellent.

The manager, Jasmine, deserves a special mention. She gave us an exceptionally warm welcome and went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable - full marks! And she was very knowledgeable and gave lots of interesting information during the complimentary sunset cruise. Our room was lovely overlooking the sea and well-appointed while preserving the Colonial ambience. The food in both restaurants (breakfast in the Armoury and dinner in History) was very good. Above all, the staff were friendly and helpful and eager to please. The hotel’s planet-friendly ethos was admirable and their reduction in plastic waste impressive while maintaining a luxury service.

The hotel has an excellent location, comfortable rooms, and very good food. We especially enjoyed the cruise experience, and the service provided by Jasmine was really good — attentive and warm, which made us feel well taken care of. That said, there are areas that could be improved. We arrived early in the morning with two kids, and it was raining heavily. Instead of trying to assist us with an early check-in or offering a temporary solution, we were asked to return at 2 pm for the standard check-in. This made the start of our trip quite challenging. A little empathy and flexibility from the staff would have made a big difference. The high tea was enjoyable, though it could have more variety. It would also be helpful to ensure that vegetarian options are clearly available, and that non-vegetarian dishes are either labelled or explained to guests. As a coffee lover, I was hoping for traditional filter coffee, but only espresso was served, which was a little disappointing. Overall, the hotel itself is wonderful with great food and facilities. With a bit more care from the staff and attention to these details, the guest experience could be truly exceptional.

Typically CGH Hotels are amazing sustainable properties using NO plastic or harsh chemicals of any kind, with diverse historical backgrounds excellent accommodations, service and food. This property was amazing on the Bay. Rooms were very spacious and accommodating. Breakfast was exceptional with a small pastry cart that was the look of a small boat and was brought around to select various pastries. Service was excellent!

Stay from 07.09.2025 to 13.09.2025. The Hotel is indeed beautiful and well maintained. If its Fort Cochin it has to be Brunton Boatyard. Rooms are good. The history walk and sunset cruise should not be missed. Food is reasonable. The location is very convenient and is walking distance from most places of interest.|The staff takes great pains to make ones stay pleasant. What impressed me is that they were receptive, committed and did their best. These are great qualities to have in the hospitality sector.|Cheers.

Best of the best! Our stay at Brunton Boatyard was truly exceptional. It was an intergenerational holiday with grandparents and teenagers, yet we all enjoyed it throughly! The decor was gorgeous, charming, warm and design thoughtful. The rooms were spectacular and the food outstanding. Don’t miss the extensive breakfast, and the complimentary high-tea and the evening boat rides! All of these made our stay truly memorable. All the staff were very friendly and responsive to every need. A special word of thanks to Jasmine who always went above and beyond. Thank you Brunton Boatyard, we will be back!

Such a beautiful historic hotel, with great food offerings and pleasant pool area. Can walk to local attractions and free boat cruise and history walks offered each day. As others have pointed out the local ferry is very noisy but does stop at 10pm and starts at 6am. We were in a suite on the 3rd floor at the opposite end to the ferry but unfortunately a villa next door was being renovated and the noise was considerable, a jackhammer was going at midnight so sleep was limited. I did put the earplugs in that are provided but I could feel the vibration. This is the only reason I gave 4 stars.

A delightful hotel, very reminiscent of Colonial British times in India. A great location right on the water, just out of the perhaps busier streets of Fort Kochi. Easy to walk to many things, and a very short drive to all other attractions. Thank you to all the amazing staff who are always smiling, helpful and ready to offer any kind of assistance. Great options to dine in: Special thanks to Asiz, Shahin, Chrsitina and Mandeep at the Armoury Restobar who made our dining with them a pleasure.
