I initially booked Nomad House for just one night but ended up extending my stay much longer! The hosts—Kevin, Poppy, Asha, Shashi, and Santosh—went above and beyond to make my experience unforgettable, offering fantastic recommendations and always being ready to help with any questions. The location is super convenient, just a short walk to White Town and only about a 30-minute scooter or auto ride to Auroville. The hostel also offers reasonably priced scooter and cycle rentals, which made exploring the area so easy. The vibe at Nomad House is warm, homely, and incredibly friendly. It’s the perfect spot for solo travelers, especially on weekends when things get lively and it’s a great opportunity to connect with others. I can’t recommend this hostel enough!

The staff is friendly and helping. Though it was 6 bed dormitory but there was no disturbance at all. The food is also very light and tasty. Got a chance to had some conversation with Vijji akka(cook), she is awesome.

Not comparable to an actual backpacker hostel. This was my first (and last) one in India. I must have stayed in hundreds of backpacker hostels by now, but none like this before. The staff was unmotivated, I couldn’t even get bed sheets or a towel on check in and I had bed bugs in my bed too. All that for a whooping 25€ per night in a 6 bed dorm. Not again… at least not for me.
