No doubt high value European tourist are recommended by india expert guides Princess street is small road expect a narrow street

I love this hotel! Elegant rooms, courtyard, and pool. Excellent breakfast. In-room French press with local coffee. Central location among Kochi's amazing sites. They even helped us hire a yoga teacher for a personalized class on the rooftop terrace. Divine! I can't wait to stay here again.

I recently stayed at Forte Kochi in India and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is set in a beautiful location, with a private courtyard pool that adds to the serene atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the breakfast offered a wide variety of options. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and made for a relaxing stay. With plenty to do nearby, we truly enjoyed our time and would gladly return.

Forte Kochi situated in an excellent location perfect for tourists, the drive from Kochi airport to the location is within an 1 hr. |The hotel ambience was excellent, we would happily love to spend a few days at the venue. I particularly liked the yellow colour of the property. Made such a difference and felt bright and uplifting. |Room was spacious for 3 (2adults and 1 child- 16yrs). However I would like to bring to hotel's maintenance staff attention that the wash basin in Room 211 have a crack on it. Client paying premium price for the room would like to see basin without visible cracks on the surface. |Besides the property their staff were excellent and very accomodating. The kitchen team did not hesitate to serve us dinner late (we reached the hotel around 10pm from the airport). The kitchen team served us the best fish platter and I got introduced to Appam on waiter's request which was unforgattable. |The swimming pool area was so relaxing although I did not get chance to dip in the pool due to the short stay. The festive period decorations were outstanding. I loved the vibe of the place. Due to a heritage building the property does not have lift facility however staff were friendly and offered luggage transfer to and from the room. |The hotel also gave us complimentary snacks in the room with a delicious Christmas plum cake :)

History and modernity blend here. This is our first visit to Kochi and this girl was recommended by a friend. We enjoyed the hotel very much. We were within walking distance from the sights around Forte Kochi. Despite being in a busy area the hotel is a resort with a beautiful courtyard and swimming pool. It's calm and quiet inside. ||Check in experience was great . The hotel is a 27-28 room former residence. The decor gives the authentic look and it's well done. ||We enjoyed 3 meals in the restaurant. For was very enjoyable. ||The hotel is about an hour from the Airport and offered free breakfast and evening snacks ||Included in the package was a wonderful 1 hour tour of the area and sights. The guide was great at explaining the history.

We stayed for 2 nights at the Forte Kochi in mid Dec and had a lovely time. |The service was really personalised and it felt familiar and intimate. Very boutique-y! |The highlight of our short stay was the food, thanks to Chef Prashanth who made me some delicious Neer dosa on request! |The service of the staff is also extremely personalised. |The room we stayed in was overall nice, though slightly dated and it can get rather noisy at night, since it’s on Princess Street. |Jerin Joseph and his team (Chacko - front office, Kartik - restaurant, Thomas at breakfast, and everyone else) work hard and round the clock to ensure guest requests are always catered to. And they do it with a smile. |Thank you for the wonderful time!

We stayed here during the last day of our Kerala trip - very glad that we did!! Ideally located with a lot of the Fort Kochi area within walking distance. We took advantage of the complimentary walking tour (1 hour) at 7 am - wonderful insights gleaned from the very knowledgeable guide. The hotel is located literally just around the corner from the residence where Vasco de Gama stayed in Kochi and St. Francis Church (where he was initially buried - now his mortal remains lay in Lisbon, Portugal). The hotel has a very striking exterior color - very Instagrammable - drawing a lot of photo shoots. It has a very nice pool - with Hi-Tea!! The complimentary breakfast is very extensive and flavorful - never seen such an extensive spread so far in my travels. The rooms are large and the inner courtyard have a lot of character!! The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were appropriately firm. A big shout out to the fantastic staff - Shalu and Chacko at the front desk - and the whole staff. Very prompt, polite, friendly and professional!! Keep up the good work!! I mentioned it to yhe staff when we left - they did e erything so we'll that I cannot think of one thing that they can do better. A definite destination the next time i am in Kochi!!

Beautiful old building with quirky character charm. Well laid out with spacious rooms.|Bathrooms are functional but outdated. |Courtyard area is great for relaxing and evening dining. Dinner menu caters more toward western palate but does offer some local favours. |Breakfast area is small and a bit dark but offers reasonable selection of food.|Fantastic location right in the heart of Forte Kochi. |Staff are friendly and attentive
