Review Of Costel Malvan

Hostel Review – Costel I had a wonderful stay at Costel, a cozy and budget-friendly hostel that truly felt like a home away from home. The place was clean, well-maintained, and had a laid-back vibe perfect for solo travelers and backpackers. But what truly sets Costel apart is the incredibly generous uncle who manages the property – always smiling, ready to help, and full of heartwarming stories. His hospitality made the experience extra special. One of the highlights was the food. Unlike typical hostel fare, Costel offers delicious Malvani cuisine that gives a taste of authentic coastal Maharashtra. From spicy fish curries to coconut-rich vegetarian dishes, every meal felt home-cooked and satisfying. It’s rare to find such quality meals included at a hostel, and it added immense value to the stay. The common areas are comfortable, Wi-Fi is reliable, and the location is convenient for exploring the area. Whether you're looking to chill, work remotely, or explore the nearby sights, Costel provides the perfect base. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a warm, local experience with great food and even better people. I'd definitely come back!
