                When I arrived the manager wasn't expecting me. He tried to give me a single room with no A/C. I booked a double room with A/C! The room wasn't ready: no toiletries,no towels,no water...The room had some humidity stains and the pain was missing above the window. Holes In the curtain and no lock on the window. The concept of "Boutique Hotel" is different in India...Nice and helpful staff.

                The location of this hotel is great, but the room on the ground floor behind the reception was not clean at all. Hotel staff talking through the night. Marks on the wall, the door handle of the bathroom was not working, and so on

                superfriendly and helpful staff, great location, clean rooms

                We absolutely loved our stay at Fort Castle. The hotel is run by a family and the manager is a lovely man, always with a smile on his face and often a child on his arm, who would always make an effort to help us out if we needed it. We had some problems getting in contact with our travel agency when we arrived and the manager came up with ideas of how to find them when the phone number we were given didn't work and went through a lot of effort to track down the people - at the same time as he was helping other guests that had lost their luggage or had other problems! The rooms were clean and the AC worked well (though no hot showers but it was ok as it is very warm in Kochi anyway and the water was not freezing cold), and there is free wifi in the reception, which also reaches some of the rooms. The location is great, on a quiet street but still in the heart of Fort Kochi, so only 50 m to restaurants, shopping and sights! For a mid-range hotel I think it is great, and I would recommend it anytime and if I ever go back to Kochi, this is where I would stay again!

                L'hotel est certes à proximité de la plage mais beaucoup d'autres sont situés dans ce meme quartier de Fort kochin. Hotel très décevant pour le prix. Je n'ai pas aimé la chambre et ses colonies de fourmis à la tête de lit ni la salle de bains . Lavabo vraiment pas top et en plus plein de fourmis également.
