Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Forte Kochi is often praised for its beautiful, historically rich setting, making for a unique stay near attractions like the Chinese fishing nets and local artisan shops. The rooms are generally spacious, though some guests have noted that certain rooms can feel a little dimly lit. You can enjoy the courtyard, the pool area and the variety of cuisines at the on-site restaurant; the breakfast, with native dishes such as chembu, is a particular highlight. The hotel can arrange excursions, like a visit to the Thripunithura palace, and provides convenient services such as airport transfers.

i had an marvelous stay! their indian dishes were flavorful and fresh. the ayurvedic massage i had was a highlight! private yoga classes were thoughtfully tailored.
The tiling around the pool is slippery when wet. i requested extra tissues for the bathroom. It took hours. the breakfast buffet was awful. Food was not replenished. the wifi was very slow. I canceled video conference meetings.

The hotel's historic heritage offered a unique experience. The team seemed to care for the guests.
The breakfast buffet was not amazing. The bathroom in my hotel room had a DREADFUL smell, possibly from the drain. The staff offered a room change instead of fixing it, it was not worth the hassle.

the hotel had a beautiful, clean aesthetic. the location was perfect for sightseeing, i walked everywhere. the pool area was a bonus for cooling off after exploring the area. the food options provided good choices.
The filtered water in my room had an unpleasant smell. breakfast service was slow. It could be improved. i noticed staff seemed more focused on group tours than individual guests. this led to a lack of personalized hospitality.
