The apartment was spacious and comfortable. Beds were great.The location was perfect for taking walks and convenient to shops restaurants and places of interest. The pool was wonderful when needing some relaxing downtime. Cannot praise the staff enough, they were very polite and helpful. Organized a tuk tuk for us and helped my husband with his immobility. And the lift is worth a mention too, made me happy everytime I used it. A must stay if we return to Fort Kochi. Thank you Fort Abode for an amazing stay. It has had an upgrade in the foyer since marketing photos, but looks so much nicer!!

I had a delightful stay at Fort Abode, Fort Kochi on 12th September. The location is perfect – right in the heart of Fort Kochi, close to charming sights, cafes, art galleries, and the Chinese fishing nets. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and cozy with elegant decor. What impressed me most was the warm, friendly staff who made me feel safe and went the extra mile with helpful local tips. A truly memorable and comfortable stay – highly recommended!

The only thing I felt was missing during my stay was food availability at the hotel, especially authentic Kochi dishes. I would highly recommend having a small cafeteria offering memorable Kochi seafood specialties – it would make the experience even more complete.

The rooms were pristine, spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed a restful two days in Kochi during our visit. We appreciated the AC and multiple fans to keep cool. Staff were helpful and able to provide some basic items when requested, such as a kettle. They also arranged a taxi for us for day excursions. The best feature was the excellent location, within walking distance to the major attractions in Fort Kochi.

We were disappointed that the kitchen was essentially non-functional. The fridge worked, but it would have been nice to also have access to a microwave, kettle, dishes, and cutlery. A kettle was kindly provided to us upon request. It would have also been more convenient if the hotel had a water refill station available to guests.

The rooms were very clean and the place was very close to the main attraction. A swimming pool on the terrace was a bonus. The staff was also very polite and friendly. A very nice vegetarian restaurant " Ananad bhavan " was like 1 minute walk away. The staff arranged an all exclusive taxi service for us.

I loved everything. I was travelling with kids so the one thing which would have made it even better was an option of re-heating food and some kettle/ cutlery. There was a fridge to store food but there was nothing to heat it back.

The great thing about Fort Abode is the pool on the roof. What a treat in the city when the temperature is really hot. The structure of the hotel is a bit odd. It's built more like a group of apartments where you rent a room and there is a sitting room and non-functioning kitchen as a communal space. There is a central atrium running through the building which gives a very airy feeling. The floors and stairs are all polished marble-like tiling and are kept spotlessly clean. The staff were friendly and looked after us very well.

It's a pity they don't do food especially as they have a fully equipped restaurant on the top floor. The airconditioner in our room was a bit noisy.

We stayed at a cozy hotel right in the heart of Fort Kochi, just a short walk from Santa Cruz Cathedral Basilica and other key attractions. The location was perfect, allowing us to explore the area easily on foot. The hotel itself was very charming, and the owner was incredibly kind and helpful. She even arranged transportation to our next destination and lent us a kettle so we could make tea. We had a truly enjoyable and comfortable stay. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Fort Kochi!

The only downside was that the hotel didn't have a restaurant, but there were several excellent dining options within walking distance.

Good location. Nice pool. Helpful friendly staff. Secure and as secluded as can reasonablly be expected. It is definitely a short stay apartment style. Not a full service hotel. Lack of restaurant was a total non issue as there are endless eating options within 5 minutes walk. Local places of interest as again right on the doorstep.

A kettle and drink making facilities in the kitchen would have been nice.

Was last in Cochin in 1986. Fort Abode was a pleasant surprise. Located close to a good coffee shop, fish restaurant (Fusion Bay) and bar with Heineken (Frances). Large air conditioned room with a closet cabinet, desk and luggage table. The staff (especially Sam) were helpful arranging transportation and for an overnight houseboat ride starting and ending in Alleppey. We stayed at Fort Abode 6 nights at the start of our Kerala stay and one night at the end.

The swimming pool is only 4 feet deep. That did not stop me from using it! Better reclining sun bathing chairs are needed. The current ones are rock solid and do not adjust.

We enjoyed the pool and hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Also, the location is great. Rooms are nice.

Swimming pool was clean and quiet. My 6 years old didn't touch the feet on the bottom that made her good swimming practice. The staff are very helpful. They booked the seats for Kathakali, Autorickshaw little tour in very good price and Taxi to airport. They don't have restaurant but the restaurant (veg) near by was very good and opens from 7.30 am.

I wanted to have a kettle for my sinus rinse as I prefer to use a bottle of water for it.
