Beautiful hotel in the heart of Forte Kochi. Would highly recommend.
Pros:

Forte Kochi is such a lovely beautiful hotel. We really enjoyed our stay here and the staff were all brilliant and attentive. Breakfast was tasty. We had dinner one night as well which was very good. The organised tour in the morning was informative and enjoyable - a lovely touch for guests to understand the history of this area.

Cons:

The fruit for breakfast kept running out so bigger platters would have been appreciated. The sun beds go in the shade in the afternoon so moving them where some of the smaller tables are during the day would have been better (and then move the tables back for evening)
