Excellent stay to begin our trip in India!
Pros:

It was a lovely stay, from the moment we arrived and were greeted with welcome drinks and cold towels (a blessing after 20 hours travelling!), the staff were so lovely and made our first days in Fort Kochi so nice! The facilities are great and the beds are comfy! Breakfast also really good.

Excellent location, fantastic staff and overall great value for money
Pros:

Excellent stay at Eighth Bastion. The staff is absolutely lovely, attentive and thoughtful. They made my stay hassle-free. The rooms are spacious and the location is extremely convenient if you want to walk to most of the art galleries, streets and cafes. The 2-hour complimentary tuk-tuk tour is a nice perk and helps you place yourself in Fort Kochi very quickly. Highly recommend!
