The owner was always very friendly and helpful. But also gave the space when I needed. I'd say it's something I really value in someone. He was proactive in finding me a car and helped me carry my baggage as well. We also had a lovely friendly conversation.

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.

    Great location, walking distance to the attractions in Fort Kochi. The hostel owner was super kind and gave me a quick tour of the town on the back of his scooter the morning I arrived. Beds were comfy and room was clean. Highly recommend!

    I've had a super nice stay at this hostel! The people running it really make you feel like home; they even took care of my laundry free of charge - I just had to get some washing soap for 10 rupees, and they did all the rest. Also, the fact that it is situated right next to the ferry landing platform (don't make the mistake to take a tuk tuk from the bus station to the hostel... the ferry is WAY cheaper) makes it a perfect place to stay in Kochi! 100% recommended! ❤️

    Location is right in Fort Kochi with a lot of things to see closeby. Mattress is very comfortable, room clean. The owners of the hostel were the best. I had food poisoning and they took me in, brought me crackers, electrolyte drinks, tea and checked on me regularly. They truly looked after me which made me feel safe.

    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.
