"Main Pool, Gym and Bar were under maintenance however, make shift arrangements were available. I would have preferred if this was informed at the time of booking.
Apart from this, Front Desk, Room Service, Restaurant crew were fablulous and went out of the way to make us feel comfortable. "
"Such a dreamy resort set in the forest-the most perfect setting which makes you feel like you are in paradise. The room was spacious with break-taking views, the staff were pleasant and food was top rated. The room was clean but not quite to western standards-some small touches would address this. The hotel offers a number of activities throughout the day-this is a great touch."
"The pool and gym are excellent for relaxation. The hotel has a couple of good restaurant options which provide wide food selections at reasonable price."
"Stayed at The Fern Kochi for one night before starting a 6-day trip through Kerala and it was a solid choice.
The property has a cool vibe and feels a bit different from your typical hotel, which I liked. Some parts are a little dated, but everything was clean and worked well, so it didn’t take away from the stay.
Staff were friendly and helpful throughout, which made things easy, especially for a quick stopover. Food was ok, nothing over the top but definitely reliable enough for breakfast. There's a better option for dinner around the corner.
One thing to keep in mind is that it’s a bit isolated and near the port area of the city..you’ll need a car to get around or into the main parts of Kochi. That said, it also makes it quieter and more relaxed.
Overall, a good, easy stay and a nice way to kick off a longer trip through Kerala."
"Great place to stay. Good staff, great room upgrade, good and clean shower facilities. Breakfast was good. I provided my feedback regarding the poori and sabji being substandard but the chef came and spoke to me explaining the situation that there was no gas and so he had to use induction, which I appreciated. Overall, great hotel, very friendly staff and reasonably priced."
