Old school hostel in the centre of Old Kochi!! Simple private rooms and dorm, but excellent value for money - smack bang in the middle of town. Aron + Gwen were excellent hosts, currently putting the finishing touches onto this latest hostel project and it was refreshing to find such a place again post Covid. Would recommend!

My first impression was not the best, the guy sitting in the reception had a hard time smiling and when I asked him questions he made feel like I was a burden?? 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 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.

    Very welcoming and chill guests, ready to help at anytime. I felt safe and met very awesome people there! Plus the balcony is awesome at night and there is a rooftop terrace. Aron is also offering travels to nearby places, organising taxi, selling tickets but also offering quite special bike travels, don't miss it! This hostel is a little gem, made my Kochi time the best :) I'll be back

    I stayed in Hosteller, Zoztel and Go stops in Kochi, While Comparing everything, Santa Maria is Great. Property is big in size compared to all other properties, They have an common Kitchen where we can cook our food also there Vegan Cafe is best for ordering traditional foods of Kerala. I loved the smashed tapioca which they serve in evening. Everything is perfect and more over hostel is located opposite to Aspin Wal ( Binnale main Venue). Definitely the best backpackers hostel in Fort Kochi

    One of the best hostel near Fort Kochi. Beach is at walkable distance. More important the location is near to Fort Kochi Ferry Station which makes it easy to travel by ferry.

    I was very happy and excited to see the Santa Maria very clean and neat, you'll find the best travel experience here . Management staff is cool and they'll help you whenever and whatever you needed. Again appreciating the cleaning staff, it wasn't that cleaner earlier day's. Adarsh bro, it's gonna be the best backpackers hostel in Kochi, fort Kochi.

    The staff was amiable and helpful. The female dormitory was spacious enough and the best part was the rooftop. The facility of a kitchen was a major saviour as I avoid eating outside as much as possible and was making my own food at the hostel.
