The centrally located but oddly-named Fort Castle (it is indeed in Fort Kochi, but bears no relation to a castle) is not so much a hotel as a guest house. The staff, such as there were, were extremely friendly and helpful, and kept rooms and public areas extremely clean. There was a dining room, but only breakfast was served -... More

Perfect location, friendly staff and comfortable rooms there is not much to complain about here. Only improvement could be the breakfast which wasn't as good as we'd had at other hotels, but overall, I highly recommend this hotel.

Pleasant enough stay although the room was plagued by mosquitoes and the biggest cockroach either of us have ever seen! We eventually plugged all the plumbing openings to stop them from getting into the room. Fair enough we arrived late, but had the worst room immediately next to reception. It wasn't exactly good value for money although it is centrally... More

Stayed for 1 night in early Jan 2013. Well located in old Cochin, the Fort Castle appears to be family run in a polite and helpful way. Rooms are average size and our bed was comfortable, but all fixtures and fittings (curtains, furniture, toilet/shower etc) are a bit tatty, certainly by European standards. In no way did this spoil our... More

This Hotel is managed by a friendly & enterprising young man named Jomon Nelson. I have to mention him first because he adds the 5th star to my rating. This guy defines service with a smile!

My partner and I initially booked three nights at Fort Castle, and after just one night, decided to extend our stay by another four nights! We were collected at the airport by a member of staff, who was very chatty and knowledgeable about the area. He was a very good introduction to the lovely people of Fort Cochin! Once we... More

No mosquito nets, temperamental air conditioner, very dirty bathroom, poor quality stained linen, NO hot water or water pressure at ANY time during our stay. We had to use a bucket to shower.
