Stay in Kochi
We had a lovely stay. The staff were very helpful especially as we arrived so late. They arranged transport from the airport and recommended places to eat as the hotel has no restaurent. The swimming pool on the roof was lovely and open early. The hotel was very clean, Sets of two rooms shared a communal area with a fridge. The hotel was conviently located on the edge of the historic part of town.

This is a great place to stay in Fort Kochi. It's tucked away so it's very quiet during the night but easily walkable to all the main attractions. The host is amazing, he helped us with getting tickets for kathakali and other shows at the Kerala Kathakali Centre (which is around a minute walk from the accommodation) and with organising transportation. The area was being closed for the New year's eve celebrations and we were struggling to find a taxi or uber. He was very kind to contact his friends to help us find a taxi. Thank you for such an amazing hospitality and for a lovely stay! We'll definitely stay here again when back in Kochi!

The manager and staff of this establishment are a real credit to India. We stayed during the very difficult COVID crisis and the staff were superb in their support for me and my husband. If I could give them an award for excellence in customer service, I would - they so deserve it.

Great location
Nice pool, good service, and great location. Sali, edward and sam helped us to plan our time while in kerala, and gave us good suggestions on where to go. Our driver Anil was very good. Breakfast was good and made to order, but limited selection so it got boring after 2 nights, and we stayed for 4. Pool is outside on the roof and is very nice.

Can’t go wrong here
Clean and quiet. Sala (I may be getting his name wrong), but the tall young man working there was incredibly friendly, helpful, and informative. Not motivated by tips, only motivated by your enjoyment of the visit. Breakfast had fresh Dosa’s, fresh fruit, eggs any style, toast, coffee etc. and is served in a peaceful setting on the roof. Would definitely stay here again.

We arrived with 3 auto rickshaws and they was happy for us to park them out the front. Lovely hotel. Very clean, great rooms with en-suite bathroom and a small communal area too. Bonus is having AC in the room and roof top swimming pool. Breakfast is basic but is included which is also very nice. All the staff - very friendly, polite and helpful and speak very good English . Would stay here again. 5*!

Immaculately clean hotel which was a really nice place to spend a night in Fort Kochi. The swimming pool on the roof was great, the breakfast was delicious, the beds were comfy and the wifi in the rooms worked well. The staff were also helpful with sight seeing tips and onward travel arrangements. Definitely recommend.

Outstanding! Nothing bad to say about Fort Abode. Situated in a side street, 5 min walk from the beach/shops & near the Basilica. Spotlessly clean - you could eat your dinner off the floor! The staff were lovely and friendly, from the cleaners and handyman, to the 2 guys who cooked breakfast and especially the front of house staff - Alby, Neeraj and Sam, service 2nd to none. They were helpful, polite and went that extra mile to make sure our stay was memorable. We were there for 10 days. Our room (and one other which was empty) led out into the lounge/kitchen dining area. The kitchen has a fridge and sink, but after reading previous review, we took a kettle too. However, tea and coffee are available from reception (as are water and soft drinks). There was also a balcony, we only went out on it once as it was very hot when we were there. Don't expect a great view (if you want that then stay in a big expensive hotel). Having said that, if you do want a view, go up on to the roof. Not only is the pool up there, but you get a great view across Cochin and it is very therapeutic watching the birds (Kites wee think) soaring above. Breakfast is served on the terrace amongst tropical plants. There is plenty to choose from. We only had toast/fruit or pancakes but there were eggs (scrambled, boiled omelette etc) Dosa and a variety of other Keralan Dishes. If you want traditional English breakfast, go somewhere else! I would certainly recommend this property.

Lovely
A really lovely homestay. The staff really bent over backwards to be accommodating and helpful.. as two women travelling we felt really safe and really enjoyed the fort abode.. the breakfast was good! We arrived via cab from the airport (arranged by them, someone was waiting at the exit for us) quite late and they ordered us take out food as we were hungry.. also organised us a driver to our next hotel in Alleppey.. as well as booking our train for our last day! They really were so helpful! And the homestay is beautiful! A lovely pool and rooftop! Perfect location to walk around fort Cochin too! A generally fabulous stay! Thank you!

Fort Abode was great value, clean and friendly!
We stayed at Fort Abode in Fort Kochi, Kerala for 3 nights. Friendly, helpful staff and location is a short 10 min walk from centre of Fort Kochi. Safe area. The breakfast on the rooftop is excellent, the rooms and relaxing areas within the hotel are all clean, well lit and relaxing, and the shower was excellent. Really loved our stay and highly recommend it to people looking for great value.

A tucked away gem
Staff were mind blowing amazing here. Rooms were a delight with their spacious lounges to the side. There's a fridge to keep your drinks cool and they will supply a kettle if asked. Breakfast was simple,but tasty and enough variety to have different things each day. Area is interesting,dfferent places to eat and walk in a quiet safe area. Would definitely stay here again. The owner is very lucky to have such a wonderful team. I would stay here again.

Great stay
The service was excellent throughout and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Airport pickup was rearranged without an issue. Very clean and modern hotel. The room shared a communal lounge and kitchen but I never saw mine being used. Borrowed a small kettle and adaptor. Loved the rooftop pool. Particularly enjoyed the Keralan cookery class arranged at home with Gigi (5 dishes 700rps) and the day back water trip. Very easy to walk to the sea front. Would definitely return if I visit Cochin again.
