The Fort Bungalow is located in Cochin. Free WiFi access is available. The famous Fort Cochin beach is just 500 metres from the property.

The cosy and comfortable rooms feature a clothes rack, safety deposit box and tiled/marble flooring. Featuring a shower, private bathroom also comes with free toiletries. Stay at the Fort Bungalow!!! I had a truly wonderful time at this family-owned guesthouse in central Fort Kochi. Before my arrival the owner Joseph stayed in touch and arranged a taxi to fetch me at the airport. I was met by a lovely kind driver, who took me safely to the Fort Bungalow. On my arrival I was greeted with a cup of tea and a chat in a beautiful seating area downstairs, with a fan for comfort. I was shown to my room, where I had everything you could need including a strong air-con, a roof fan, fresh towels daily and drinking water. My bed was very comfortable and everything was clean and beautifully decorated. While I was there Needhu, Joseph's wife, arranged for my clothes to be washed, dried and ironed, for a very reasonable cost. Joseph was available via phone or in person every day to give shopping, eating, and sight-seeing recommendations. A special mention to Hussain, a tuk-tuk/auto driver who works with Joseph and who showed me around for days, with a wonderfully friendly, personalised service. Joseph also arranged for me to spontaneously visit another hotel they run, the Marari Beach Bungalow, which is about 1.5 hours away and definitely worth a visit! The hotel was beautiful and the backwaters tour Joseph planned was spectacular. All in all, I highly recommend the Fort Bungalow - it's a friendly, generous, calming place that is right in the centre of Fort Kochi and very easily accessible! Thank you to Joseph and his family for making my stay so happy and comfortable.

All Villas have been particularly designed to blend into the tropical gardens around, the bathrooms embodying a unique stone sculpture garden. The entire staff right from the Reception, in particular James to housekeeping, to engineering to the buggy driver, to the hostess to bell boy were extremely courteous, proactive and went out of the way to make us feel comfortable. Hospitality at its best! The breakfast spread and quality of food was awesome. Kudos to Sous Chef Harish Rawat and his team The entire property is so picturesque and well maintained.

Experience a forgotten era at this cozy, cultural gem.

Situated just 300 metres from Shanghumugham Beach, Uday Suites houses an outdoor pool and a gym. It features complimentary parking and has a restaurant which provides 24-hour room service.

Uday is 9 km from Trivandrum Junction Railway Station and about 1.5 km from Trivandrum International Airport. Both the hotel and the service from Airport pickup to departure was impeccable. All the staff were out to help with a smile at every turn. We had a 5 year old with us who was no well after a 22 hr flight and the hotel accommodated all our additional requests under the circumstances. Rooms were very clean and comfortable and breakfast above anything expected with a wide array of regional specialities and traditional international fares
