The Fern, Kolhapur

Being a regular traveller, there is a basic level of service and hospitality that you start expecting because that is what you come across places you stay. The Fern Kolhapur needs just a bit improvement in their service, especially the restaurant. The dinner and breakfast buffet isn't lavish, but has sufficient options for different cuisines. It's the restaurant service that disappointed, especially the morning staff. Rooms are spacious and topped with all daily toiletries that one may need. The arrival gate and the space to disembark from your vehicle is too small to open the door of the car if there is already another car in the lane. Overall a good experience, could have been better for the money that they charge!!

I had a wonderful experience of function at diamond banquet hall by the fern hotel Kolhapur. The food quality was excellent delicious well presented and satisfying. The ambience was also beautiful with elegant decore and warm welcoming atmosphere. The service was aslo very good staff were attentive polite and professional specially mention Mr Amol Yadav overall memorable and well organised event Great job all banquet team

And there we were yet again! Our twin daughters are in love with this place and The Fern as a brand in general. Newly made up room was indeed big, neat n clean and very well equipped. We had much needed rest after a long days journey. Staff was attentive. Mr Prithviraj Ingawale made sure that we got all needed as per our requirements, as always! Thank you.

Family Trip : The Fern Kolhapur, a Four-Star Above Average Hotel I stayed in The Fern, Kolhapur, Maharashtra, in Room No. 810 from 09/03/ to 12/03/2025. I booked the hotel online by calling a number given on the website. The booking process was pleasant, as the reservation clerk lady (Rasika) was soft-spoken and helpful in offering rates and an appropriate room, etc., including agreeing to pick up from the airport for a price. The booking was smooth, very professional, the payment link worked well, and I paid in full in advance. I received a booking confirmation, which was comprehensively explained, no doubt or any question to ask. It looked like a very professional document. As agreed, they picked up from the airport in a small sedan car. It was a pleasant check-in. They helped me reach luggage to my room. The lobby area was functional no frills or no great interior to impress. The double-bed, king-size bedroom of 300 sft. was comfortable. Everything in the room was just right. The AC- is excellently functioning. The bathroom was spacious and had an excellent shower head and shower area. The bath towels were very hard, and I did not use them. The toiletry supply was excellent. The tea/coffee arrangement was good. Housekeeping service was excellent in responding and replacing anything required, like water bottles, tea/coffee supplies, etc. The overall in-room comfort, including bed, pillows, and sheets, was much appreciable; even though fancy frills were not there, it is a simple interior. But one important missing point is: no luggage desk; we had to keep our suitcase on the floor only. The breakfast was complimentary in the ground-floor restaurant area. The BF spread was quite elaborate, yet the authentic taste was missing. Like Idlis were hard, the Medu wada was worst (hard), the sambar had no South Indian taste, rather some strange taste. Overall, Breakfast was not tasty, and I was not happy. The Exterior – is very poor as you enter the portico- exterior wall looks faded, rainwater leakage visible, no carpets in lobby area. The staff's overall staff behaviour was courteous and helpful. For the cost of the room, it was not justification.

We planned a stopover during our visit to Goa at Kolhapur. This was the Property of Choice. We were here by 3pm and the checkin process was seamless since our booking was confirmed online. The rooms were well equipped, modern and spacious. Although the view was a concrete jungle. We ordered Room Service for dinner and the food quality was good and so was the quantity. The mattresses were descent and the aircon cooled well too. Next day, their Rain Shower in the bathroom was amazing with Good Pressure and Hot Water. Overall, no complaints. Now for the negatives, we had High Tea included in our package and since we travelled a long distance by road, we were in the restaurant by 4pm sharp. We were asked to be seated since they were just starting. They served mixed pakodas which were half cooked. Even the tea we asked was served after 45 minutes. when we raised the issue, the floor executive was rude enough to say that it takes time since kitchen is on third floor. She went on to hold her own claiming we arrived at 4:30. We simply left our meal and visited the city for food. Next day morning breakfast was nothing great. Nobody was really interested to attend to supervision of food quality. Being a religious destination, I feel they should consider keeping an electric vehicle which can ferry their customers to the Temple. This will help reduce traffic and help devotees.
