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! 🙌

Broad Lands was fantastic, clean, and had charming colonial architecture. Its location made visiting key attractions easy. A tip for future visitors: use the Metro from the airport. We found it much cheaper and more convenient on our return trip. I highly recommend this hostel for its cleanliness, charm, and convenience.

Great hostel run by super friendly staff, the rooms and bathrooms are clean, the common area is perfect for chilling and socializing, and they serve homemade meals for a very good price. The location is good and it was easy to find with the staff's directions, lots of food options nearby, and it's right next to the Little Mount metro station. The only down side for me is that it was a bit pricey for my budget, but I really enjoyed my stay ;)

Well, for starters the view is Immaculate and the staff is super friendly as well! And the environment that the Zostel team has created where fellow hosteliers can mingle and get friendly is super awesome. Loved the property manager dude, he was super friendly and sweet! I met three new wonderful people who made my trip immaculate thanks to this environment! Thank you Zostel team!!!

Lilly akka's veg biryani is worth a try. The host was a girl volunteering ,I think the vibe became quite friendly because of her. The view is nice from the hostel. The property owner was there to attend. Overall, it's a good place to stay in coonoor on a medium budget over the quill hill road.
