This place feels like a homestay. The rooms and dorms are at the back of the house, creating a cozy and private atmosphere. The owner is kind and helpful, with great experience in the travel industry. He even turned on the AC during the day for me, which is not typically done apparently, after my sleepless train journey. Plus, I had the dorm to myself, making it a quiet and peaceful experience.

😊 I spent 10 days at The Chill House, and it truly felt like a hidden gem in Fort Kochi. The moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and kindness that made me feel instantly at ease. The space was always clean, calm, and full of positive vibes — perfect for relaxing or meeting like-minded travelers. Every corner felt thoughtfully cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind. I’d return without a second thought.

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.
