At the hostel, rooms include a desk and a balcony with a mountain view. Every room is fitted with a safety deposit box and certain rooms have river views. At Crossroads Hostel 1957 all rooms come with a wardrobe and a flat-screen TV. Crossroads Hostel truly feels more like a home than a hostel. The owners are incredibly kind and genuinely go above and beyond - their warmth, generosity, and openness create a special atmosphere from the moment you arrive. There's a strong community vibe, making it the perfect place for solo travelers. The area is peaceful and surrounded by beautiful nature, with plenty of scenic spots just a short walk away, and it feels completely safe to wander around and explore. The food is delicious. And of course, Trancy - the sweetest dog and the true heart of the hostel - will happily join you on your walks or curl up for cuddles. All in all, if you’re looking for a stay in Wayanad, don’t bother looking anywhere else :)

Located in Suryanelli, Hostyard Plantation Hostel features a garden. The hostel also provides free WiFi and free private parking.

Every room is equipped with a private bathroom, a bidet and slippers, and certain rooms at the hostel have a safety deposit box. I stayed at Hostyard for three nights and truly enjoyed the hospitality. Each and every staff member was kind and supportive. The team made sure to arrange whatever was needed whenever possible. The food was good, and the limited options actually made it simpler and more pleasant. The location is in very scenic spot and the best spot to enjoy the hostel is from the backyard
