Great location in Fort Kochi. Walking distance to all the historical sites. The staff were very helpful and the hotel offered complimentary short (60 minutes) heritage walking tour and a Tuk-Tuk transport tour (2 hrs). It's the perfect place for a stay in Fort Kochi.

Beautiful hotel in a great location

Loved our two nights here. Rooms were gorgeous and quiet and clean. Hotel was lovely and breakfast delicious (one of the best we had in India). Location was perfect - so close to the water. Pool was a welcome relief from the heat. Laundry was expensive.

Great location, comfortable stay

The location is great; just a bit off the main area of Fort Kochi, near the seafront walk. It is a bit more quiet but still close to restaurants and stores. The place is quite comfortable but is not luxe or ostentatious. The food at dinner was very good and traditional Kerala.

I recently stayed at Eighth Bastion during our trip to Fort Kochi and it was excellent experience. Staff was excellent and ready to assist. My room was spacious, clean and and incredibly comfortable. One of the highlights was the breakfast buffet, it had a great variety of fresh, delicious options. The location was walkable to beach, water metro and great attractions, also there are great cafe's closeby. I highly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again!

Hôtel situé à proximité des intérêts touristiques à voir à Cochin. Personnels accueillants et très aimables. En comparaison des autres hôtels durant notre séjour, meilleur petit déjeuner que nous ayons mangé. Les chambres sont propres, spacieuses, confortables. La piscine pour un pays où il fait 37° est un vrai plus. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié cet hôtel et n'avons aucun avis négatif à émettre.

מאכזב

תחזוקת המלון ירודה...מים נאספים במקלחת בגובה 5 סמ ומחלחלים רק כעבור שעתיים מה שגורם לשיטפון בכל המקלחת..דלתות היציאה למסדרון או למרפסת וגם זו של השרותים לא נסגרות אלא אם נועלים אותם..לא ממש חויה..!!

Un hôtel à reserver sans hésitation

Hôtel trés bien placé dans fort Cochin. Belle décoration, salle de bain agréable, literie confortable, jolie piscine et petit dejeuner excellent. Le personnel est souriant et attentionné. Un seul bémol, une petite odeur d'humidité dans les chambres mais peut etre due à la période de mousson pendant laquelle nous voyageons.
