Run by the nicest & most helpful people, this hostel is a super chill environment with all the mod cons. The price per night is a bargain & the rooftop hanging area is brilliant. Added bonus is the two hostel cats Idli & Dosa, who I would die for. Food available from the rooftop cafe is great too!

Fabulous hostel. I stayed in 4 beds girls dorm and although it's a small room, it was really comfortable: the mattress, pillows, duvet, AC, curtains on the bed for privacy, big lockers, security, spotless bathroom with hot water. I had best sleep there. Also the location is great just by Visitors center of Auroville. The staff and manager are really attentive and helpful. I never expected such excellent hostel in India, so I give it 5 star. Over all, one of the best stays I had in this country, thank you very much!

Great location, easy to get in and out of the city. The staffs are wonderful, all are incredibly helpful. The hotel is well maintained. The beds were very firm, too firm for my liking. The food was good. I, especially, enjoyed the view of the nature. This is a beautiful hotel! It’s clean and has a lot of comfort items to make you feel at home. We’re in town for a stressful event and coming back to this room was very peaceful.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Big hostal in Auroville and great location near first entry point. Staff there all the time ready to help or advise points of interest.So much space in common areas with lots of lounging beds on various floors and games to play.Some activities planned for some evenings.Small kitchen area with drinking water available. Dorm beds with curtains,charger and light.All clean linen. Definitely worth a visit at such a good cheap price.

    Great room, great mood. I never felt at home like at Time Travellers hostel, thanks to the staff, the volunteers and the many backpackers staying here. The bonfire is a must every night! Ah, it's right in front of Auroville's main gate.

    I loved my stay at Funk Monk Hostel! I felt so comfortable day in, day out. Everything is so neat & clean like I haven’t experienced it before in whole India. The location is situated in a very calm environment just 5 min away from the visitor center by bicycle which made us sleep so well. Apart from that, the owner Krishna is a very helpful guy and has many tips to offer about what to do in Auroville. The food in the hostel is tasty and cheap. Would definitely come back, if was here another time! :)

    One of the best hostels to ever exist. The vibe of the place is just so vibrant and calming at the same time. Perfect place to relax and meet interesting people. Host and staff are just amazing, super friendly and so helpful. The rooftop cafe-Gaia's cafeis like the cherry on the cake. The cool host of the cafe is "Dosa" the cat 🐱 who ll keep you entertained. 11/10 highly recommended.

    Wonderful hostel with a large and cozy rooftop where you can play with their cat, do yoga, meet new friends, work online or appreciate both sunrise and sunset. 🌅 The place is surrounded by beautiful nature and you can also enjoy the peaceful mango tree garden. Delicious dishes are made with love by the friendly, local staff. Dormitory is confortable enough and clean. I highly recommend woodpacker and I will be back for sure. 🌸
