Pros:

We recently celebrated a family reunion at Eighth Bastion Fort Kochi, marking two significant milestones—my parents' 65th and 75th birthdays, along with my sister-in-law's 39th birthday. The experience was nothing short of exceptional, and I can't recommend this place highly enough.

From the moment we arrived, the accommodating staff made us feel like family. They went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was seamless, catering to our every need with a warm smile. The reception team was particularly helpful, always ready to assist, even with our energetic toddler in tow. Their attentiveness made our time there even more enjoyable.

The facilities at Eighth Bastion Fort Cochin are top-notch. The hotel beautifully blends modern comfort with a rich historical ambiance, providing a stunning backdrop for our celebrations. We loved the spacious rooms and common areas, which were perfect for family gatherings and catching up.

Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely superb! Each meal was a delightful experience, showcasing a variety of flavors that appealed to all ages. The chefs truly excelled in crafting dishes that made our celebration even more special.

Overall, our experience at Eighth Bastion Fort Cochin was remarkable. The combination of a stunning hotel, delicious food, and incredibly helpful staff made our family reunion unforgettable. Thank you for helping us create such cherished memories. We look forward to returning!

Pros:

Eighth Bastion was the best place we have stayed in 8 months of travelling. It was beautiful, clean, great facilities and the staff were all so helpful and welcoming but without being over bearing. We felt so comfortable throughout our stay, and the breakfast selection was amazing. The value of this hotel was incredible and we would come back again in a heartbeat. The tuktuk tour they arranged was also great and the location is fab!

Meilleur séjour en Inde ! Nous avons adoré
Pros:

Vraiment super ! Meilleur hôtel de notre séjour. Personne aux petits soins. Restau de l’hôtel parfait pour dîner. Petit dej mega complets. Chambre propre grande avec salle de bain magnifique. Piscine sympa aussi. Super bien placé. Plage, filets de pêche et théâtre disponibles à pieds. Merci infiniment super séjour. Nous avons même prolongé d’une nuit.

Cons:

Chambre au rez de chaussée devant l’accueil un peu bruyante la première nuit parce que clients bruyants en face. Eau piscine pourrait être un rien plus fraîche. Visite en tuktuk sympa sauf les arrêts dans les magasins où on se sente poussés d’acheter. Ce ne sont que des détails l’expérience globale était vraiment top!
