This property is set a short distance from attractions such as Santa Cruz Cathedral Basilica, St. Francis Church Kochi, and Indo-Portuguese Museum.

Popular points of interest near the hostel include Princess Street, Vasco Da Gama Square and Santacruz Basilica Kochi. Cochin International Airport is 43 km from the property. I had the pleasure of staying at an incredible hostel in Kochi, and I can’t recommend it enough. The location was absolutely perfect, close to all the key tourist spots, charming cafes and everything you’d want to explore in the heart of Kochi. But what really made the experience special was the host, Niaz. He’s just incredible. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests and goes out of his way to make sure you’re comfortable. Nothing was ever too much for him: whether it was tips on where to go, help with anything I needed or just making you feel welcome. He’s the kind of host that makes you feel at home even when you’re miles away from yours.

At the hostel, rooms include a desk and a balcony with a mountain view. Every room is fitted with a safety deposit box and certain rooms have river views. At Crossroads Hostel 1957 all rooms come with a wardrobe and a flat-screen TV. Clean, comfortable, great get- away- from- everything location. The best staff! Meals on-site were delicious, too, and there's a hammock and a dog. It's not a vibing backpacker hostel, but I really enjoyed my stay here
