I happen to be in Fort House while I write this review. It's a pity that such a place has not been mentioned in the most sought after travelers bible The Lonley Planet. Incidentally I follow the Lonely Planet too. During my 7 days stay in Fort Cochin I checked in and out of two other places before I accidentally... more

We, a group of 7 adults and 4 kids, had dinner at Fort House hotel on Saturday, 5th July,2008. The food was very good. Portion size was good. Prices were decent. Taste was very good. The Kerala prawn curry and Vegetable Stew was amazing. 4 of us are Hotel Management graduates from IHM Bangalore(1 is a very senior Kitchen Consultant/Chef... more

My father and I travelled to India this year. It was one of the most adventurous experiences in my life. The colours, faces, tastes and sounds leaves a mark in your life. We loved our time in Kerala specially the time we spend in the Fort House hotel, we stayed here for almost three weeks and cancelled our journey to... more

Excellent hide out in Cochin! I was worried about going to Kerala during Summer, I heard the heat would be unbearable and the heat was unbearable, but living at The Fort House was the bright side of my stay in Cochin. A relaxed and truly relaxing place. Stayed there for 8 nights and would have loved to stay there longer... more

Fort House is one of my favorite hotels in the world! The waterfront location, quiet and clean rooms, beautiful gardens, attentive staff, and delicious food all make for a magical stay. Following tripadvisor, I stayed at the Raintree on a previous visit to Cochi and find myself mystified why it's so popular. It seems to be mostly about Edgar's amazing... more

Stayed at the fort house for one night while doing a fleeting visit to Kochi in March. The hotel is a welcome retreat from the main Kochi city , it is peaceful and has great gardens. The food was fantastic we had the best Mullet ever!! My only gripe was one i had read on another review before going. I... more

I stayed at Fort House for 2 days. Upon arriving late at night, I asked to see a room. It was an air conditioned room with the air conditioning unit visibly mounted on the wall. Standing in the room, the manager stated a price of 2500 rupees. I suggested 1500 rupees. After some back and forthing, I started to leave... more

It is a pity that guests arrive at unholy hours and expect the manager to be around! The guest who wrote this comment unfortunately seems not to have the sense to distinguish the manager from a caretaker. Probably he or she must have been tired too. A traveler should understand that when one arrives at such late hours without a...

Fort House is an excellent family run hotel and restaurant by the water in Cochin. We stayed there for two nights at the end of our holiday and it was the best stay. Hotels by the sea in Kochi tend to be expensive but this one was really affordable. The rooms were modern, clean and cool, the staff really accommodating... more

Spent 3 nights here in mid Feb 2008 at the old block. I think old block was quite good - cheaper than new block. The room was simple but clean and nice. All the staff there were very attentive, informative and helpful. The guy at the reception helped us to book tix for Kathakali, we asked him too much questions... more

Thankfully we only had to stay at Fort House for one night. We booked directly with the hotel and requested their best room which they advised was in the new block for RS 3,000 per night. We chose this hotel as it is listed in the Alistair Sawday guide of ‘special places to stay’. Yeah right!. If only we had... more

This review has really been an amusing read! Assuming things is one thing, but typing down your wrong assumptions on a site like the TripAdvisor is plain shabby. The assumption that we serve locally caught fish in our restaurant is wrong, we buy fish that is caught by fishing boats that fish from the deep sea. If the reviewer would...
