The best hostel I have ever been to. The place is very clean and well priced. The best thing about this hostel, however, is the people. The manager is the best hostel manager in the world, he will help you organize your time in Kerala, and help you with whatever you need. He is great, kind and friendly, spends a lot of time with the people of the hostel and cares about making the guests feel comfortable and having a good time. Besides, the hostel attracts super people from all over the world and is filled with positive energy. I spent 12 days in it and felt at home. An overnight stay at this place is a must!

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

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    The location was perfect, a 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk from airport. The staff were friendly and organised a taxi to the airport for us at 3am, they were also communicative over WhatsApp when needed. The room itself was fine, had air conditioning and was a good size for two people for one night looking for a cheap stay near the airport.

    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.
