Amazing hostel

shivangi s.solo

Rooms are a little small and so are the bathrooms but the location and staff are excellent. As someone who only went to hostel just to sleep and was out exploring the city the whole day, this place is prefect as it is cheap and in a prime location. They even help you with bike rentals. Would definitely recommend and come back :) <3

ot so good stay

prem s.group

Goods: 1) location is perfect , beach is visible from the property. Bads: 1)Rooms were congested. 2)There was 1 bathroom for like 4 rooms which is like 14-18 people which makes it difficult for morning rituals and it becomes dirty very rapidly.

Decent.

riddhi m.solo

The staff on site was excellent, really supportive and helpful and went above above and beyond but overall the place could use a lot of improvement in terms of basic facilities like geyser, hygiene products (soap etc), cleanliness of the facility especially bathroom and kitchen The location and setup is pretty good. Overall approach from management seems lacking and not providing adequate or basic facilities to guests. They dynamic pricing is also exorbitant and had to pay 3x to extend stay for the next day.

Good Facilities

aryaman a.group

The stay was amazing and very near to varkala helipad entrance. The room was good with well maintained and cleanliness. Even after the checkout the owner provided us space for keeping our luggage as we wanted to visit the beach after their checkout time and when we came back from the beach they allowed us to use their bathrooms for taking a bath (no extra charges). The place is really nice and scenery were pretty good. They also had board games like chess, carrom, table tennis etc that we can play without paying any charges. They also had good 21 gear bicycles for 200 rupees each cycle for 24 hrs with no faults. All over very good experience.

Poor Stay

hrithik v.solo

I had a terrible experience at this property. There is only one washroom shared between three dorm rooms, which means you’re constantly waiting just to use basic facilities. On top of that, the owner is extremely rude and unhelpful, making the stay even more unpleasant.

Stay is good for dorms and its easily accessible.rooms are in second floor, not so convinient. For every small thing, you need to go up and down, so that's a bit off.the balcony has the best of seaview.if maintained well this could be a better place.Location is the best of all.

the hostel is just like any other hostel ,don't expect extraordinary things. the place is located at a prime location in varkala and its value for money also, perfect for budget travelling. since I was solo travelling, as a woman I didn't faced any issues safety wise, even in mixed dorm. bathroom is a challange, they had 2 bathrooms only one for each floor so that was constraint , and mirror wasn't available in the room rather outside of room and the balcony was pretty good, overall it's good for budget travelling
