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

Set in Munnar, within 14 km of Munnar Tea Museum and 23 km of Mattupetty Dam, 3R Residency The Backpackers Hub Munnar offers accommodation with a shared lounge and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is situated 28 km from Anamudi Peak, 30 km from Cheeyappara Waterfalls and 33 km from Eravikulam National Park. Some units at the property feature a balcony with a lake view. Fantastic owner and staff! They were really helpful and gave us beautiful hiking/scooter tips. And they didn't disappoint! Played and learned some new games with the staff and other backpackers! The view from our room and balcony was stunning! Recommend arriving by scooter, because it's a very steep way to the hotel and it gives you a lot more freedom to visit munnar and the beautiful tea plantations!

Situated in Varkala, within 700 metres of Varkala Beach and 38 km of Ashtamudi Lake, Roameo, Varkala - A Cowork by The Hostel Stories features accommodation with a garden and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 43 km from Napier Museum, less than 1 km from Varkala Cliff and 1.8 km from Janardhanaswamy Temple. The property is non-smoking and is located 42 km from Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple. I had a truly wonderful stay at this brand-new hostel. The entire space is thoughtfully designed, especially for those interested in "workation" or yoga practice. The comfort level is top-notch; the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the washroom facilities were impeccably neat and clean. They’ve ensured maximum privacy and convenience with essentials like curtains, a reading light, and a charging socket available at every single bed. The location is a perfect balance. It’s set in a wonderfully peaceful location, just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the main cliff to ensure quiet contemplation, but still perfectly accessible. A grocery store, scooty rental, and a local cafe are all just 100 meters away. The small communal kitchen is a huge plus for cooking basic meals, and the free water refilling station shows they care about sustainability. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend this hostel to anyone seeking a tranquil base for remote work or a place to deepen their yoga practice. I definitely plan to return soon! A special thank you to the host, Pintu, for the warm hospitality.
