“Hotel Arches strikes me as a heritage stay with a personal touch, blending Fort Kochi's history with attentive service. I especially like its location on a quiet street, well-placed for exploring nearby attractions, and the rooftop dining with its scenic views seems a real draw. While some facilities might reflect the transition in management, the responsive staff and heritage ambiance stand out.”
