The place was a backpacker's dream, I couldn't ask for more. There were bicycles for rent, a nice common area, the bathrooms are cleaned every day, there's a restaurant right next to it if you're too lazy to go into town, and the staff was very friendly and helpful!

Fabulous hostel. I stayed in 4 beds girls dorm and although it's a small room, it was really comfortable: the mattress, pillows, duvet, AC, curtains on the bed for privacy, big lockers, security, spotless bathroom with hot water. I had best sleep there. Also the location is great just by Visitors center of Auroville. The staff and manager are really attentive and helpful. I never expected such excellent hostel in India, so I give it 5 star. Over all, one of the best stays I had in this country, thank you very much!

I had an incredible stay at Ostel In, Auroville! The hostel was spotless, spacious, and had stunning areas overlooking the ocean, where you could relax to the sound of waves. The location was ideal—just 15-20 minutes from both Pondicherry and Auroville cafes and Matrimandir with scooties available right at the hostel gate. The managers, Dinesh, Diya, and Anil, were exceptionally warm, welcoming and attentive, offering great recommendations and organizing fun games and activities. The food service was very prompt with healthy and tasty options. The crowd was interesting and engaging, making my solo travel experience even more memorable.

Gayathri

From

It was truly a memorable experience. The vibe of the place is very peaceful and deeply connected with nature. A big shoutout to Raj, the host — he made me feel right at home and was always helpful and friendly. There were some jamming events going on in the evenings. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location is perfect — right on the main road, close to all the cafes. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Auroville! 🙌

All hostels in Auroville

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
