“Fort Abode feels like a consideration for travelers seeking a home-like stay amid Fort Kochi's attractions. I noticed it has apartments with kitchenettes, ideal for longer stays, though some may find the service more akin to an apartment rental than a full-service hotel. The pool seems to be a highlight, and the location near Santa Cruz Basilica allows for easy exploration.”
