A beautiful and peaceful heritage stay with exceptional hospitality & stunning waterfront views.
Pros:

Brunton Boatyard was one of the highlights of our stay in Kochi. The hotel has a beautiful colonial charm with peaceful waterfront views that make the whole experience feel relaxing and unique. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and full of character, and the restaurant served fantastic food in a lovely setting.

What really stood out was the exceptional customer service. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and always willing to help, making us feel genuinely welcomed throughout our stay.

The only thing to be mindful of is the mosquitoes due to the hotel being right on the water, however the hotel is very well prepared and provides everything you may need. Overall, a truly memorable and relaxing stay that we would highly recommend.

Cons:

Mosquitoes :-(

The best option from where to explore Fort Kochi
Pros:

Property and building: So, so well maintained. We loved the character of the building and how the flooring, furniture, art etc all contributed to the old world charm. All while still offering the modern luxuries that make the stay delightful - air-conditioning, coffee machines, bath tubs, bath amenities etc.

Rooms: We had the water-facing suite and an adjoining non-water-facing room. Both rooms were extremely comfortable. The view is absolutely stunning. We loved the snacks placed in our suite. :)

Restaurant: The breakfast has an excellent selection; please ask for and try their 'special breakfast of the day'. We had dinner at the 'Armoury' a couple of times. The food is great and the staff is excellent. From the Chef and the Managers to the servers - all of them take the time to interact with the guests.

Spa: Extensive spa menu to choose from, with detailed explanations. Treatments are excellent and deliver as promised.

Staff: From front office to housekeeping and restaurant to spa - all staff is very well trained. They are knowledgabale, polite, friendly and helpful. They just make the stay more pleasant and memorable.

Cons:

Everything was excellent. No complaints.

Stylish luxury stay at Fort Kochi's waterfront
Pros:

The waterfront location at this hotel was outstanding. The hotel offered a total luxury experience in Kochi. The room was tastefully furnished, the stuff was very helpful and attentive, the hotel recycling police was exemplary and I liked the fact that the Brunton Boatyard Hotel offered a public water refilling station for the general public on the outside of their resort. The waterfront swimming pool was well sanitised and with a perfect water temperature my wife and I really enjoyed our daily swim. Thank you

Cons:

Sometimes during the day the local carferry was a bit noisy but it did not detract from my hotel experience

I absolutely recommend this place, you won't be disappointed
Pros:

It's a lovely property with a 10/10 for location. The breakfast was really good. The property is very well kept and clean and if you like colonial dutch style architecture, this is the place to go to !

Cons:

The fine dining restaurant, History had very limited food options but to be fair they did say it was because of the current commercial LPG shortage.

Excellent location. Keen on helping staff. That's it.
Pros:

LOCATION - 10/10
This was my first visit and stay at Fort Cochin. The property is wonderfully located. Walking distance from the Water Metro Station, the cafes, by lanes and the sights and sounds.

Cons:

CUSTOMER SERVICE - 5/10
The staff were really friendly and helpful. But at times when we wanted them to come good, they couldn't. e.g. We bought food from outside (something which wasn't available on the menu for dinner) They refused to heat it up citing policy.

ROOM COST vis-a-vis AMENETIES - 4/10
For the cost of this room, you can book a mid to above room in an Oberoi or any of the premium properties. For the amount that is charged, I do not see value in the room per se.

FOOD - 3/10
They have 3 restaurants in the property. I tried food from 2 of them. 1 was for breakfast. Which was nothing remarkable. Ordered dine-in from another restaurant - below average food. North Indian. Now you might be wondering, who orders North Indian cuisine in a Kerala Property. It was because the Malayalee food was nothing to write home about as well.

Overall if you are a non-malayalee, you might find the food good. If you haven't been to other prime properties across the country and in Kerala, you might find the rooms wow or force yourself to believe it is wow for the amount you are paying. Location is stellar.
