If being by the water is a major draw, Kovalam Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 0.8 mi (1.3 km) from central Kovalam. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Lighthouse Beach and Hawah Beach, both within a short walk.

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!

Overall a very well maintained and clean hotel. We ordered the room service chicken tikka pizza...wow excellent! The breakfast was tasty, I appreciated that the hotel rang us to remind us about the free breakfast. My one complaint is that the the hotel staff reminded us three time there would be a few if we created any stain on the sheets. No issue about the requirement just don't mention it three times during check in, we are the customers after all. Overall great place will stay again.

The O by Tamara is a beautiful property very close to the Lulu Mall. The entrance was beautiful and front desk very helpful. The rooms are immaculate and the bathroom facilities are very good. No bathtub but the shower was very nice.
Food is excellent and I have to make special mention of Robin TS the F&B Manager who went out of his way to ensure that I have meal reservations each day to accommodate my busy meeting schedules.
Overall a very good hotel, very good customer service. ...

From the minute we entered the hotel we were in love. The hotel is beautiful the staff is professional and extremely attentive. The hotel is in a great location and all the amenities are state of the art. I rarely write reviews but I so pleased with my stay I told myself I will write one to assist others looking for a hotel in Kochi to stay in. Take my word book this hotel you will not regret it. We were there for our wedding anniversary and the staff had some lovely surprises waiting for us....

The Blanket hotel has excellent staff. It is a boutique hotel but has all the amenities you need. They also provide lots of additional services such as yoga, nature walk, cooking demos and so on. The pool is also beautiful. The location next to the waterfall makes it magical. The other guests don’t follow rules much when it comes to use of the pool in proper attire. The staff of the hotel should be commended for their professionalism and positive attitude. Kudos to their floor manager and all...
