The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

Guests at the hostel can enjoy an Asian breakfast. 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.

Crossroads Hostel 1957

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. After years and years of traveling around the world and countless hostels, I can say this is one of the best I've stayed at. The Crossroads Hostel is located in Varadoor, one of the quietest areas of Wayanad, immersed in a typically rural context where you can find peace and serenity. Also the manager of the hostel, Abi, is a great person, always ready to help you. Several times he took me to the bus stop on his motorbike or came to pick me up to take me back to the hostel after some excursions or trekking. It is located just over 20 minutes from Kalpetta, the main center of Wayanad, by and large the focal point from which to reach the start of the main treks. What can I say, I had an extremely good time in this hostel. Nice atmosphere, serenity, comfortable rooms, nice people, clean rooms. If you are in Wayanad look no further.
