Bloom Boutique Waterfront Fort Kochi

Full staying experience

Poof room and poor staff behaviour

Classic style

Smell in room

Le style colonial , son emplacement

Le petit déjeuner pas terrible

The property and its antiquated ambience was impressive. The location was good too.

It looked like no one was interested in running the place. The antiques on display were dusty and looked like they had not been cleaned for months. The seating in the lobbies and corridors were stained. We stayed there for three nights, not a single person turned up for housekeeping, nor were water bottles provided. We paid 60000INR with GST for nothing. The room with a view was a small room, with hardly any space to move around. Not to sound petty, but they charged us for a bottle of water that was due to us. Overall a bad experience.

ausgezeichnete Lage, schöne Inneneinrichtung

Es fühlt sich an wie halb geschlossen. Bis auf eine Person des Personals zeigte niemand Engagement. Nur eingeschränktes Frühstück. Der Pool war nicht benutzbar, eignete sich eher als Fischteich. Keine Auflagen für Liegen und Eisenstühle im Aussenbereich, nur auf Anfrage und dann mäßig sauber.

Comfy beds and heritage vibes - a perfect location to explore the biennale!

Garden and public areas need a cleanup! More breakfast choices such as brown bread and croissants would be fabulous!

Le charme d'un hôtel situé dans un bâtiment d'époque.

Cet hôtel nécessiterait une sérieuse remise à jour, pas d'eau chaude, chambres vétustes, personnel semblant peu impliqué. Le restaurant extérieur n'est pas au niveau, tables non nettoyées, personnel ne parlant pas anglais, etc D'autre part les chambres donnant sur la rue sont très bruyantes. Dommage car cet établissement a beaucoup de charme et la vue sur le port est splendide.

Bon emplacement Chambre confortable

Bruit de rue

Location

Very dirty, toilet seat dirty. Bathroom was very dirty , Bed frame, dirty, mirrors dirty. Outside dining room is filthy We did not go for breakfast as area was very dirty, was not a 4* more a 1/2 We had to get them to re clean, but not much differant. Very sad 😢 because done up it could be amazing No WiFi Pool was green

Nothing

Dirty and poorly maintained

The property had character and provided plenty of toiletries.

The outdoor area smelt really bad due to being by the water. The pool definitely isn’t usable. Location isn’t the best but that’s just kochi as a whole, wouldn’t recommend spending time in this city.

Location and staff

Level of cleanliness; poor breakfast ; needs an upgrade.

The location is perfect. It is a quaint hotel with historic artefacts museum hall. Absolutely amazing. has a colonial look and feel.

I booked this hotel because of the waterfront pictures, But you really cannot sit out there as there is so much plastic rubbish in the water and at sunset you will be bitten silly by mosquitoes. They do not spray the area and as such you cannot enjoy the sunset nor just a coffee outside.

It was a quirky place to stay. The main areas were like a museum!

There wasn't much of a welcome by the staff. It would have been nice to have an introduction to the hotel and information about breakfast.

The staff were wonderful. Good location, too.

The room wasn't great.

La situation géographique est super, ds bazar roads, au cœur de fort kochi . C est un établissement ds le style colonial très sympa.

La propreté est correcte. Il y a parfois des problèmes d’alimentation en eau.

The room was very spacious and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was a charming time capsule from the past. The breakfast was decent.

The bathroom was not in a very good condition - leaky sink, noisy ventilator fan, loose fittings. The fridge wasn't working. The hotel is around a 20-30 minute walk (5-10 minutes by autorickshaw) from the Fort Kochi one sees in pictures, so I wouldn't say a great location. Overall, the location, breakfast and the quality of facilities were only decent given the hefty price for the stay.

The waterfront view at night was nice

The property is not maintained well. It needs a thorough clean. The facilities were also basic. The best part of the property is the water view but that part is closed off at night.

Decor and room size.

No hot water for the duration of our 2 night stay. The staff were extremley poor on commumicating aroumd the issue with us....where we had to continually ask but no one knew what was going on. Veru slow service at breakfast even though there were numerous staff. At checkout they asked for payment for some drinks we had at arrival....We thought these would have been complimentary at last with the hot water issue. We had to ask again and eventually agreed. No mention of a possible discount either....very expensive to think no shower or wash for 2 whole days! Nice building but poor staff, service and communication. I would have thpught they wmight have reached out to compensate by now but no. They even got us to pay when we arrived before telling us about the hot water issue....very poor and underhand!

Antique

Food could be much better and variegated and prepared in short notice

room, location, staff

It's a beautiful property with antiques around. Very insta worthy. The staff was polite and the restaurant food is homly. On most of the nights we preferred eating at the restaurant. Views are amazing from the restaurant area. Also the time you step in, there is subtle smell of flowers. It's just relaxing and made our day!

We stayed in museum room, whose bed was cracking even on little movement. That disturbed our sleep during night. Also the lighting is very dim to give you heritage feel. But that made us find things or arranging them difficult. But that's the least of the concern. If you are okay with lighting then the property is Amazing.

The building is heritage - and so it is beautiful

NO maintenance - dust laden, dirty and the restaurant was filthy. The service bad. The food ok. No maintenance at all.

The location was great...close to all the art exhibitions and historical buildings.

I had a booking for 4 rooms ( for 7 people) but when we arrived at midnight after travelling for hours they said that there was no booking in my name. This was totally bewildering as not only had i written confirmation from booking.com for my dates, I had also received confirmation from the property that they knew about my planned late arrival. They continued to deny the booking then tried to blame it on me saying that I had booked for a different month...so NOT true, as my printed confirmation proves. Then they blamed it on booking.com....and when I finally asked to see their booking details they replied " it has already been deleted". Hmm mm. Hopeless....and if it was booking.com's fault...they should be held accountable for the distress and anxiety this caused for 7 weary travellers needing to get to their rooms!

The location is a plus. Thats all that was nice about the property. Looks great in pictures, the actual place doesnt justify it.

The property is not maintained, dirty and dusty everywhere. Breakfast is very basic. Staff is not attentive, does minimal required. Small, poorly designed bathrooms. Theres lots that need to be improved to make the experience better

Stilen på huset, maten och värden.

The general maintenance and cleanliness of the place. A good clean up could be done. The windows in the bedrooms are dirty the windows between the Outside eating area and the main venue are dirty. Our room was nice but the walls could be painted there are brown water marks down the wall. The shower glass could be cleaned as could the bathroom window. The communal toilets, basins were dirty, no toilet paper in either the men or woman's bathrooms. Dirt bins overflowing in ladies toilets. Our room was not made up and nothing replenished ie the water or tea. The place needs a good clean up and the staff need to be managed. The staff were helpful and friendly. We stayed there last year and there was a noticeable deterioration in cleanliness since then. Its a pity as the location is great. Really hope they can do a cleanup and some maintenance on the hotel!

Comfortable bed, well appointed room.. Excellent waterfront dining and pools area with enchanting view of the bay,...

Food has a lot to be desired. Very basic with poor repertoire in the chef. Good wholesome breakfast, that was that. Even though the staff were helpful and friendly, hardly anyone on hand when necessary. There was an afternoon when there was NO STAFF at all anywherein the house from 5( when i came down after a nap for a cup of tea) to 6.30 on 7 th december.. left to our own resources. I went around to turn on lights where ever i could as it got dark pretty early. I could think of many emergencies occurring including medical for oldies like myself as well as fire... This was totally unacceptably irresponsible act of neglect on their part that out a black mark on their reputation. It truly put me off the setting for any further stay there.

We loved the place.You feel you are back in time with all the memorabilia.Lovely clean rooms and brilliant beds.The staff were fantastic and always accommodating.Staff very attentive and accessible.Breakfast was lovely catering for all needs. This is a great place in the middle of all the activities in bazaar road.Totally recommend it.We have stayed twice now.

Everything was brilliant.If I had to criticise anything it would be a bit of a clean around the pool area However I still enjoyed my swim.The pool itself was clean.

Waste place

Preservation of the heritage look & to be able to stay along with the past, for couple of days is really the main attraction of this Boutique. Friendly & warm welcoming staffs. Boutique is located in the middle of all fort kochi attractions.

Unfortunately, the place doesn’t have a valid parking area of it’s own. So anyone who plans to check-in at the hotel, please note that there is no parking area by the Hotel. But, a few meters up ahead from the Boutique, one can find places to park their vehicles.

Spacious rooms. The receptionists were friendly and helpful.

Bathroom's toilet seat was broken. The room floors were dusty. The outdoor deck (which I was most looking forward to) was poorly maintained and we weren't allowed to be there after 11pm

Nous avons passé 2 nuits dans cet hôtel et nous sommes en train de constituer un dossier de réclamation. Affaire en cours.

Jolie structure héritage avec un potentiel. Hôtel au bord de l’eau, belle deco, bois carreaux de ciments, belles couleurs safran

L’hôtel tombe en décrépitude : chambres sales, bruyantes à cause de la rue, humidité dans l’une des chambres avec odeurs, matelas inconfortable, petit déjeuner médiocre sans choix et très long, espace extérieur non opérationnel pour manger li se reposer, piscine inutilisable, cher pour une prestation très médiocre

Location & old charm

Location and staff where great.

The whole hotel is very run down and needs a good clean. Rooms are very musty smelling and where not clean. Stained sheets, cob webs in room. Outside area is in very poor condition. Dont let the photos fool you. Such a shame, Bloom hotel have dropped the ball with this one.

Location & heritage Bungalow

dimensions de la chambre, salle de bains, emplacement de l'hotel

le petit-déjeuner n'est pas bon, la piscine pas nettoyée, une paire de chaussures de sport a été dérobée dans la chambre

Apart from the staff i cant think of anything that made me like the property

After being in blooms in bangalore and mumbai, we thought of trying this one owing to our previous experience. The few things that made the stay problamatic here are as follows: .The fan knob(speed regulator) was broken .towel hanger in the toilet was broken. .The mattress was uncomfortable . Only one power socket

The place is located in a central location so accessible.

In the name of heritage property they have kept all amenities also heritage. The property is not well maintained there are no inclusions surely not value for money.It was worth a 2K or 3K max but was charged 10.5k which was a waste of money.

Loved the antique vibes!

The food was not good. Slow service.

No Comment

Not satisfied the quality of facility and behavior of staff. Initially the front office staff offered a room in the ground floor, Check in observed suspicious and hidden purposely made small hole on the entrance wooden door directly viewing to the bed. We had argued and suppose to call the police. Later staff given another room at first floor. Due to inconvenience we had to vacate the hotel early morning itself.

Superbe quartier, bien animé. La gentilesse du personnel. Et la particularité de la chambre

La piscine n'est pas propre. L'odeur du plastic à l exterieur dans le port que l on brule.

Staff and location

The bed and the pillow. The bed was super comfortable. Though the hotel was in a very old heritage building , the room was super clean .The toilets and the toiletries were enough. Nothing to complain about. The breakfast buffet though not elaborate was sufficient.

The location was in a crowded old spice market. But not the fault of the hotel.

View from backside Breakfast Antique collection

Staff called and warned of possibility of water seepage during heavy rains only a week before the date of stay giving us no option as other places were already sold out. On a positive note, they arranged a room with less chance of said issue when i informed that my wife is pregnant. Lack of parking attitude of the reception staff was not very pleasing. Meanwhile some staff were polite

The property was very well maintained for an old historical house and had gorgeous views from the pier. We had a great experience at the restaurant particularly with the kitchen staff. Abhijith was exceptionally friendly and super helpful with everything we needed.

The location of the pool with the dining area combined was not ideal as there was very little privacy for swimming (felt like people could watch us swim while they’re eating). The pictures of the hotel online did not give a clear view of what the pool looked like.

Staff were really kind and helpful. Helped us get rental bike

Food is not great at the property. All the non vegetarian food items we ordered had frozen meat including sea food which is disappointing considering the property is located in near the beach/back water..

Awesome heritage property very good location

break fast was not good. They were restricting the breakfast to 1 piece per head. Service was not good. They switched off the light in backyard, even though they saw us sitting there. Totally unprofessional service

Ambiance was good

Good food and staff

Price for food was very high

Excellent service , comfortable rooms, location very good, the manager Mr.Gibbson is extremely helpful and very accommodating. the view of the waterfront is awesome.

The approach road is a bit worn out and rough

Great stay and helpful staff

Site was good and food was excellent

More facilities in room could have helped

Staffs were too good.

There was some maintainence work going on & hence no much restaurant menu options. Only breakfast was available (Breakfast was good)

the view and the essence of Kerala felt all over the place. the property is just wow

breakfast options felt quite less.

More than 100 years Old ethic home of spice traders with thier antiques displayed therein. Wooden construction, painted tiles, old furniture, feels like staying in old historical place. Location just next to back waters. Shall cozy restaurant right on the banks of the back waters. Close to prime areas in fort kochi

The rings could have been provided with more furniture. There was no table to keep luggage. No view from the room as the windows opened in market street. The restaurant has a small menu.

Lovely location and friendly staff

The dining options can be enhanced to give a feel of the local cuisine

Good location, lovey staff, reasonable facilities

Had to change rooms as painting external to the first room was turpentine based and very intrusive. Lovely seating area over the water but nearby to area that was full of rubbish so some strong smells very unpleasant. Cleanliness could have been better but wasn't terrible.

Locale interesting arteficat helpful staff and good helpful service Reatuarant cld be improved

The hotel is about 40 km from KOCHI Airport.It is an antique hotel appears to be carved out of old residence of some erstwhile VIP person.Limited rooms. Pros:Traders Rooms are large and clean Lobby area and hall are full of antiques starting from household articles to cameras to piano to old car.family children can enjoy. Service is good. Deck on the water with good furniture arrangement. Cons: Away from main area. Parking is an issue Entrance narrow Breakfast is limited menu and alacarte.So is the same dinner.Quality and menu needs improvement. Foul smelling in deck area.
