Brunton Boatyard - a CGH Earth Experience

We stayed at the Brunton Boatyard in Kochi on our 4 day trip.The experience was amazing. The hotel is located on the waterfront. We stayed in the sea facing suite which was huge. The colonial style architecture created a lovely ambience. The location is very convenient to explore the Fort Kochi area. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and always attentive to every need. While some of the reviews have mentioned about the noise from the ferry we did not find it disturbing though our room was located closer to the ferry. The Armory had some good choices including local cuisine. The complementary breakfast was excellent. It did take time though as it was made to order. We liked the complementary afternoon tea with cakes as well. We had a great stay and hope to be back some day.

This hotel is a classic design and beautifully decorated. You feel like it should be in a movie. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the includes breakfast was made to order. Beautiful views over the harbor and wonderful large swimming pool surrounded by immaculate grounds. The rooms were very comfortable and well appointed.

Fabulous hotel, but it was ruined by the proximity of the noisy ferries constantly going backwards and forwards from one side to the other. There are three restaurants to choose from and we ate in two of them. One evening I had Railway mutton curry, which was delicious. All rooms are sea facing. The bedrooms are very well furnished with a lovely bathroom with shower and bath. The swimming pool was a lovely temperature. Afternoon tea at 5pm was delicious with cakes and savoury options. The staff were very accommodating.

Absolutely superb hotel from all points of view. Unbeatable location, proximity to Ferry & the famous Water Metro. The suites as well as the normal room are excellent - the suite is pure indulgence. Service is fantastic with very helpful and attentive staff. Great breakfast and the staff at breakfast place ARMOURY deserve special mention for courtesy and efficiency. Great for small children. The sunset cruise is not to be missed. Many points of interest are walkable and TukTuks freely available if not inclined to walk. All round great experience esp in the monsoon

I had a very peaceful stay at Brunton and everyone I met was very kind and helpful. My only complaint is that the outings and activities (such as walking tour, high tea, boat ride) were not fully explained and it would have been nice to have them written down in the room or given at reception. A few people I especially enjoyed were Akshay the bartender out on the deck, Jasmine at the front desk and Saneesh my tuktuk driver. Thank you so much for making my stay extra warm!

This hotel was a splurge for me, but I went for it considering it took me 2 days to get to India from the US. I am so happy that I made the choice. The hotel is gorgeous and in a great location. Staff is so helpful and friendly. My room was huge and I appreciated the lovely details such as recycling, glass bottles of water, outlets by the bed. Additionally, a nice big breakfast was included, as was high tea, sunset boat ride, and historical walk. A great value hotel and I was truly sad to leave! If I return to Kochi I will absolutely be back.
