    Well Maintained, Daily cleaning the rooms and dedicated working space for all work from home dudes. Food prices are very costly but outside foods are allowed to eat inside dining area. Otherwise everything was so good.

    Perfect Hostel for a Solo Traveller

    rohini s.solo

    This is an ideal place for a solo traveller with friendly and extremely helpful staff. Mr. Tapan, the manager was ever so welcoming and provided invaluable guidance for local commute. Master Nail is an excellent cook who provided us with a variety of choices. The ladies dormitory is quite clean and the bunk beds are quite comfortable. The air conditioning is also superb which allows one to get a good night’s sleep. The bathroom was very well maintained. The peaceful common spaces and working area are conducive for completing office work. Thank you so much for the lovely stay.

    ramnath.business

    Really a good stay. Prime location.10 mins walk from Ekkattuthangal Metro. Calm and friendly ambiance. Food, coffee-Tea options available. Place is maintained clean. Chef Nayak cooks well. Worth for budget stay in dormitory. --- The only incontinence I faced "cold-war for wash room".

    We stayed here for one night, and it truly felt like home. I'm from Odisha, and to my surprise, all the staff here are also from Odisha. Everyone was friendly, and the owner was really helpful. Definitely a 5-starworthy hostel. We stayed here for one night, and it truly felt like home. I'm from Odisha, and to my surprise, all the staff here are also from Odisha.
