The Hostel Stories is a great place to stay in Varkala Cliff. It's actually a beautiful house with some big clean spaces and amazing vibe! Moreover it's not too crowded which means one can rest properly at night. There is a nice kitchen opened for all guests, a wonderful garden as well as a chilled living room with a balcony next to it. Apart from that I would like to mention that the Indian guy who's running the property is a lovely person. Therefore, from my persinal experience I can assure that this hostel is 100% recommended!

The vibes were immaculate; it's a quiet and lovely place, comfortably arranged. Lots of privacy in the beds; big lockers; nice staff. Location is a few meters away from the main area so it's quiet at night, but it takes like 2 min to walk to the busy areas. AC works very well.

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.

    The best hostel I’ve stayed at throughout my whole trip of India. Had originally booked two nights, and ended up staying a week- if I had the time I would’ve stayed for a month! Great location, super helpful and friendly owners, and a really comfortable feeling The around the place. Highly recommend. Plus the hostel has recently adopted a couple of adorable puppies!

    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!

    This was my first solo travel. The moment I reached the hostel, I could feel the warmth. Nikhil, Vikas, Kartik are really helpful, fun and warm people. The rooms are decent and the place has a raw touch. The food made by Kumar bhaiya was yumm too! The vibe of this place is immaculate. Great location, safe for solo girl travellers. Not to mention, lots of cuddles from the cute pups, cooper & mini.
