Unpack Hostel

Pondicherry Beach, Puducherry

Situated in Puducherry, within 2.3 km of Promenade Beach and 2.1 km of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Unpack Hostel features accommodation with a shared lounge and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is set 2.4 km from Pondicherry Museum, 2.6 km from Bharathi Park and 3.3 km from Botanical Garden. The property is non-smoking and is located 2.2 km from Manakula Vinayagar Temple. Kavya’s and Ronak hostel is one of those places where you feel right at home. I arrived as a first stop in India, and Ronak was super helpful with all the information he provided before and during my stay, even for the rest of places I will be visiting in India. He also became a friend, since we spent much time having great talks and playing cards and board games with many of the other guests! The rooms are clean and the hostel will provide you with everything you need, rooftop, area to socialize and chill, laundry, renting scooters… The ambience and vibe is just perfect, and I can truly say I leave this place with great memories.
