Kochi at its best
Pros:

Super Hotel
Sehr nettes Personal
Toller Afternoon Tea

Die Preise für Taxi / Touren sind im Hotel mehr als doppelt so hoch wie wenn man direkt auf der Straße selber fragt.

Ebenso ist do Fähre sehr laut.

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.

Excellent and delightful property offering high standards of service
Pros:

Excellent and delightful property offering very high standards of service. We were taken care of very well and will certainly explore other CGH properties when we next visit Kerala

Cons:

The only thing was its location next to the ferry which cannot be changed but it not detract from our experience ultimately
