Wow - what a great place. Karthik and Vikash have done a wonderful job with this hostel. It has a great family/community vibe, without being a party hostel. It’s pretty new (as of Feb 2024) so everything is squeaky clean. Beds are clean and comfortable and AC in the AC dorm is great. Also the Wifi is really fast. There’s areas upstairs and downstairs for chilling out and meeting fellow travellers, and the staff are great at organising activities - like surf lessons and kayaking in the mangrove forest. There’s cafes/restaurants very close by, and the main tourist strip on the Varkala cliff is about 10 minutes walk away. Can’t wait to go back.

Wayanad
The rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area, a flat-screen TV and a safety deposit box. Crossroads Hostel 1957 provides some rooms with river views, and rooms include a balcony. The units will provide guests with a fridge. The hostels pretty new but you won't ever feel that, not because something's broken or unhinged but because the hosts are so good at handling everything and because everything you could possibly think of is already provided..makes it seem like they've been doing this for years. The hosts are super hospitable. The food's lovely. There's always some pretty music playing in the background so the ambience is well maintained. Just a 10/10, can't believe how much we lucked out finding about this place.

The Hostel is really well located: Directly on a clean beach and not much crowded! The dorms were huge and it was nice that they have double bed and lockers although you have to lock it with two locks to make it safe since there are two 'doors' for one locker. WiFi was good. Meals were alsongood and cheap.
The staff is amazing. Friendly, talkative and really helpful. There is a great atmosphere. The dorm for 8 people was quite comfy. Very tasty and quite cheap meals in a hostel restaurant. Great location if you want to be near very calm beach. There are available some board games, hammock... in general, very chill atmosphere. Thanks!
A surprisingly good hostel for all the international backpackers. A simple but spacious dormitory room, a breathtaking view from the rooftop. The location is calm, compared to other nearby hostels.
Possibly one of the best hostel I have been so far in India. I was in a 6 bed dorm with air condition and the room was very spacious. Toilet was also big and very clean. Very cheap laundry and you can rent bikes to go around or kayaks. The view from the hostel is beautiful and you can observe fisherman nearby every morning. The host can provide with dinner and lunch since around the hostel there is not much. Munroe Island itself is super quiet and very relaxing so if you are looking for many activities this might be not your place.
The best hostel for solo backpackers
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.
Great location very close to the beach boulevard! Many restaurants/cafes nearby. Many yoga shalas at walking distance if you want to do drop-in classes. Budget room is very basic but all you need really: a bed, terrace and bathroom - and the price is very affordable. Hostel offers wifi, laundry possibility, free water-refill. Staff is friendly and helps with everything, eg scooter rental. They also offered room cleaning several times during our week’s stay. 😊
