    Review Summary

    Powered by Myra.AI

    Cliff and Coral Hostel is a mixed bag for guests. Many appreciate its close proximity to Odayam Beach and its serene, peaceful atmosphere, making it suitable for budget travelers and groups. However, there are consistent concerns about poor management, cleanliness, and lack of amenities like hot water and food services. Some guests enjoy friendly staff and a cozy vibe, while others found facilities lacking.

    Poor Stay

    dhaval s.couple

    Cliff and Coral Hostel is a complete disappointment. In the name of a hostel, they’re just running dull, lifeless hotel-style rooms with no vibe, no facilities, and absolutely of hospitality. There’s no proper information given about local travel or activities, no staff to answer your queries, no security, and no responsible manager around. It feels like they’re doing an (favor) on us by letting us stay, instead of treating guests with basic courtesy. We ended up wasting both our money and our valuable time here. Pathetic management and not at all recommended.

    Okayish roo

    tony a.group

    I stayed in the 6 bed mixed AC dorm. Beds are okayish. Don't take the nonAC dorm because it gets quite hot and even in the AC dorm I was staying, it was hot because the cold air from the AC does not fill the room till you lower the temp till 18C. Not suitable for families.

    Poor Stay

    alna e.

    The customer service of the property is so poor . We called many times to the provided number and they will only accept the call after several calls . And the stay was also not much good . The windows were unlocked and when I asked the service boy about that he said it will not work . Overall not really good experience.

    The stay was pretty good and affordable. We chose a dorm for 6 people . Came with air condition and a decent bathroom . Most of the time we were outside so it’s pretty decent stay for a group

    We had a very wonderful experience, the property is isolated from the crowded areas and offer a very beautiful stay surrounded by nature. The beach is on 1 min walk-from the property making it very convenient

    Not your goto hostel

    shivam b.solo

    The vibe is dead and it's not an ideal hostel. Located almost at the end of the cliff with more distance from the cafes and all, the hostel provide no facilities of food (dinner) or recreation. No activities to keep high engagement. The rooms are okay but pricy during new year. Not worth the money

    Location was 2-3 mins from odayam beach, however the room i selected said sea view but the room had barely sea view that too from the balcony... the room had no cloth stand or hangers, just one wardrobe, the bathroom had leakage issue, the staff wasn’t friendly at all, we were told we will be charged 100 bucks per person per hour if we check in early whereas wen we went we were made to wait for 45 minutes since they were cleaning the room. The place had a cozy common area wid swings tried to give it a bohemian touch but i would say there are better places to stay and at lower prices.
