"We booked The Artiste in Kochi for four nights and ended up staying for seven because we loved it so much! The hotel is modern, comfortable, and the staff are truly exceptional. Everyone, from the team at the door to reception and the restaurant, went out of their way to make us feel welcome. A special mention to Kiran, the gym trainer, who was amazing. I did four sessions with him and my husband trained with him separately. He is professional, friendly, and made working out enjoyable even while on holiday. We were traveling with our young daughter, and the staff at the restaurant were so kind and attentive. They always made sure we were okay and even took time to engage with her, which made it pleasant and comfortable for us. The food was excellent! The chefs were attentive and came out each morning to let us know what’s available from the live station and brought us the snack of the day. The location couldn’t be better — the hotel connects directly to Forum Mall, which has everything: a kids’ play area, cinema, restaurants, a massive food court, shops, salons, and a supermarket. It made things so easy for our family, and my husband and I could even take turns going out while one of us stayed in the room with our daughter later in the evenings. We honestly didn’t want to leave! If we return to Kochi, we’ll definitely be staying at The Artiste again and will happily recommend it to friends and family. "
