Location was great, perfect distance from shops and restaurants but still slightly secluded. The host was very friendly and welcoming, also really helpful in planning day trips around the area, he gave great advice and recommendations. The breakfast that was included was delicious. The rooms were clean and the AC worked.

So I had a bit of a nightmare getting into India first as I applied late for my visa (my fault) 🙃 then had delayed flights and arrived super late (2am) I felt so bad but Rish (the manager) was an absolute legend and went out of his way to make sure I not only got to the hostel safe and sound but got my taxi driver to find some food for me before arriving and getting his friend to let me in! He helped me so much along the way with any questions and has been super friendly. The people I’ve met at the hostel have been absolute gems too we all settled in effortlessly and had such a nice time. The hostel is tucked away on a river which is super relaxing and surrounded by nature. It has a real nice vibe about it I would definitely recommend coming to stay here if you’re visiting Kochi :)

My first impression was not the best, the guy sitting in the reception had a hard time smiling and when I asked him questions he made feel like I was a burden?? Luckily the rest of the staff was super friendly and chill especially Gokul made my stay truly special. He was really friendly and helpful guy. He told me all the good places to go visit and eat he even brought my newly wash laundry to my room. When a had to leave to wrote down my travel plan to munnar. The hostel itself has really good facilities and is nice and clean

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a backpacker hostel during my solo travel adventure, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations! I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I wholeheartedly give this hostel a well-deserved 10-star rating. First and foremost, the staff at this hostel were absolutely phenomenal. From the moment I walked in, they greeted me with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. They went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Whether I needed recommendations for local attractions, directions to nearby places, or simply a friendly chat, the staff were always there to assist me. Their dedication and attentiveness truly made me feel at home. The location of the hostel was also superb. It was conveniently situated in a prime area, surrounded by vibrant streets filled with local markets, cafes, and cultural landmarks. I was able to explore the city effortlessly, and the hostel's proximity to public transportation made it incredibly easy to venture further afield. It was the perfect base for my solo travel adventure, allowing me to immerse myself in the local culture and experience everything the city had to offer. Moreover, the hostel exceeded my expectations in terms of the facilities and amenities provided. The dorm rooms were clean and comfortable, and the common areas were thoughtfully designed, creating a welcoming atmosphere for socializing with fellow travelers. The hostel also organized various events and activities, which provided fantastic opportunities to meet like-minded individuals and make lifelong friends. It was an incredible social experience that added immense value to my journey. Overall, this backpacker hostel truly went above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience for solo travelers like myself. The exceptional staff, perfect location, and the chance to meet incredible people were the highlights of my stay.

All hostels in Cochin

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.

Good location, good staffs. When I reached to the hostel, they wanted to suggest me another option of the lower bunk bed in another mix dormitory(Ⅰbooked 1 Lady dorm but already occupied lower bunk beds). More over, after arguing with other inns, when I was suddenly told that I wanted to come back here, I was warmly welcomed immediately.
