Fort Abode

The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful, arranging transportation and currency exchange with ease. The room was comfortable and well equipped, with a good workspace, shower, bed and air conditioning. We particularly enjoyed the rooftop pool and the pleasant restaurant seating area, as well as the hotel's good collection of used books. Located on a quiet alley just a few blocks from central Fort Kochi, the hotel offers a convenient and peaceful base.

We had no complaints.

The staff were incredible. So thoughtful friendly and helpful. I’ve never experienced such kindness from staff.

No kettle in the room.

Lovely rooftop pool and good location just by Fort Kochi

It is strange to have a kitchen and dining room set up but absolutely no plates, bowls, cutlery, cups etc or cloth to clean the table/dustpan and brush for the floor. Over the days we stayed we were provided with bowls, plates, cutlery, cups and a kettle and we bought washing up liquid and a dishcloth ourselves. But if these things were just provided from the beginning it would make the stay so much more comfortable and practical! And if they don’t want to provide everything in every room they could leave a list of items available that guests could take down to reception when they arrive and ask for what they need. It really would make all the difference.

Booked entirely because of pool - ideal for depth and size for our party of 8 Large area with worktop, sink, table & chairs with kettle & cups between 2 bedrooms ideal for accommodation with no catering. Attractive lighting of central core

Pool suspect of dangerous hygiene - five of us seriously ill during stay Large area not fitted out at all for eating in takeaways etc. No plates, no microwave, dishcloth, tea towel etc. etc Lack of free drinking water only 1 bottle/day/person No handrail on stairs
