It was an excellent stay with my friends. Everything at the homestay was awesome. Easy to access, very comfortable rooms and dormitory facility. The owner is very polite in nature. And the warmth that we received is unforgettable.

Probably one of the best hostel experiences I’ve had so far. Coming here feels like coming to a home. The owner is just an absolutely incredible person who will make sure you have the best stay depending on your desires and he will be able to help you with pretty much anything! He brought me coffee every morning and was continuously making sure I was having a good time. I was there during my birthday and I couldn’t have felt more taken care of. The owner had bought a beautiful cake and made the other guests come sing for me together with himself and his family, as well as having a birthday dinner at a restaurant together with everyone in the evening. A friend of him who was also staying at the hostel cooked an amazing lunch for us. Can’t even describe how grateful I was for all the celebrations and him being so considerate! The location is great, near the main streets as well as the ferry. Facilities are new and fresh with nice A/C in the rooms. Comfy bed and pillows. Nice kitchen and common area and it has a rooftop where one can do yoga, meditate, dance (there’s a speaker even), or just chill with other people in the couches. The owner also knows all the best tips and tricks around the area, as well as of Kerala, and will be happy to share! He even helped me figure out my continuing travels over the phone after I had left the hostel! Very happy I came here.

Great atmosphere at the common area on the ground floor, nice staff who hang out with us. Location is top, food stalls, nice restaurants nearby. During the day you can visit Mattancherry (not very close but still walking distance), at night the pier (right next to the hostel). From the nearby bus stop you can get to Ernakulam.

All hostels in Cochin

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    This is a great comfy little hostel in a great location. Niyas, the host, is prepared to go above and beyond to help you with anything you need, and there is AC and a kitchen! The beds are also very comfortable.

    The rooms are well maintained and super clean and the location was accessible and the manager was friendly and helped us even after checking out provided us a space to keep our bags for a day and a washroom to freshen up. Best hostel in a prime location with affordable budget.

    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.
