Amazing AC in the room (turning it on is not obvious though) Nice vibe of the place

Michal Poland

close to the beach nice garden to relax very helpful and friendly staff could keep my valuables in a locker after checkout

The location, the people, the spaces to sit and socialise or work, the kitchen access, the view from the balocnies/ rooftop. I'd definitely return - it's a good place whether you want to WFH or meet travelers and socialise. It's quite big and the number of slippers you see is huge, but doesn't feel crowded since everyone kinda spreads out to different areas. I'd definitely recommend the deep sea dolphin trip organised at the reception.

1. Location: One word - 'Perfect'!! The hostel is on the North cliff, barely 5 seconds walk from the Helipad (which is the main alighting point and parking area for entering the north cliff). You step out of the hostel and are immediately on the path lined with cafes, restaurants, shops etc. On the opposite side of the path is the Varkala cliff beach and the staircase down to the beach. 2. Cleanliness: My room was simple but had all the basic amenities, i.e. fresh sheets and pillows, clean towels, AC, a double window with sunlight, an ensuite bathroom and a small balcony. I could feel the room being fresh and clean. 3. Community area: It has a nice chillout area as soon as you enter, where you could meet fellow hostellers. However, this is an open-air space so I have no idea how it would be in the summer. I would definitely stay here on my next trip as well.
