Eighth Bastion Fort Kochi - a CGH Earth Experience

Such a lovely stay :) the restaurant was really great - top quality fish cooking! Thank you!

We really enjoyed our two night stay here. We were warmly welcomed with a cold drink and a cold towel. Our room was huge, comfortable and airy, as was the bathroom. It was lovely to have a variety of real teas in our room. The food was excellent and staff friendly and helpful. There is a lovely terrace, with a shaded area to eat or have a drink and a nice pool. The location is ideal - very close to shops, restaurants and the waterfront where the fish is brought in. We visited and bought a number of gifts from the Kochi Society - an initiative run by local women making and selling beautiful jewellery, handcrafts, textiles, spices and much more. Also well worth a visit is the small theatre to see the Kathakali traditional Keralan dance and the martial arts performances. The demonstration and explanation before each of the two short performances was really helpful in understanding it. We had booked the first performance which was fascinating so stayed on for the second and really enjoyed both.

Clean, spacious, friendly staff, nice rooms, comfy beds. great location very close to all tourist sights. Amazing food. Only downside was we had a room overlooking the backstreet which was very noisy with car horns, voices etc. Highly recommended though.
