A place that felt less like a hotel and more like a home we didn’t want to leave.
Pros:

We stayed at this property for 3 days, and from the moment we arrived, it never felt like a hotel — it felt like a warm, relaxed home. The staff made us feel like family, and their warmth and hospitality truly stood out throughout our stay.

My 2-year-old toddler had the best time here. The pool was so easily accessible, which made it perfect for a family stay, and being right in the heart of Fort Kochi meant everything was within walking distance.

For two whole days, we simply soaked in the calm atmosphere, chilled by the pool, and enjoyed how attentive and helpful the staff always were.

We’re definitely coming back soon — we already miss the place!

Cons:

Nothing at all

First class hotel in exciting location.
Pros:

This property was first rate. Beautiful rooms. Great breakfast. Close to everything that is Fort Kochi.

Cons:

The room service was a bit intrusive - they would make up your room & then check again later if you want anything.

au coeur de Fort Kochi un excellent établissement
Pros:

Le personnel sans aucune exception. La chambre était spacieuse et très propre.
J'ai également beaucoup apprécié le restaurant avec d'excellents plats préparés avec soin par le chef. L'emplacement est également excellent, au cvoeur de Fort Kochi.

Cons:

La chambre était un peu sombre et le quartier assez bruyant mais, au vu de l'emplacement, c'était logique.
Rien d'autre à dire.

Pros:

Excellent location. Have been to other CGH properties. who all have a very high service standard. but this one stands out. simply splendid

Cons:

i know its a city centre boutique location but the common area to find a quiet corner is not there. its either the room or a pool that all can look into or a small cafe

Look at the photos and imagine even better- that is Eighth Bastion at Fort Kochi
Pros:

Believe me when I tell you the photos of Eighth Bastion Fort Kochi do not show how beautiful and well maintained this property is. My favorite things about this property are the pool, the restaurant, and the free Tuk-Tuk tour. The chefs here are the best cooks. Best food in all India. The people who work here are outstanding, each person from the front desk, cleaners, chef and restaurant workers, and the doorman are wonderful and helpful. There is a beach in walking distance. We wish we would have stayed longer.
