    The people here were super friendly and I even did early check in at 3.00 am and they even arranged that for me and the rooms were pretty clean, the food was great too. The hostel is located very near to the Fort Kochi beach it is at walkable distance and easy access for water metro and boat jetty. Everything about this place satisfied me. Would definitely recommend for Solo travelling too such a safe place which felt like home❤️

    not a good place for famil

    vinod k.family with 2 kids

    Although the room and the facilities are big, they are very behind in terms of cleanliness. When we went, there were four of us. They gave us two extra beds and a bed sheet. We saw dog hair on the bed sheet. This is the first time I have seen such an unhygienic place. There is no cleaning program. I would not suggest this to anyone.

    The hostel is in an an amazing location very close to the beach. The aesthetics and the place itself is really nice and the management staff are all very sweet. It's towards the budget end of travel, but definitely worth more than it actually costs.

    Inside the room, not having that much neat and clean, they have a very dirty fan facility and main things sleepers are not allowed. These kind rules encourage infections for particular diseases.

    both of the managers were super polite, including all the other staffs. I didn't have any issue, felt closer to the nature and played with their pet dog and cat as well. it's a lovely, artistic place and living here was an extremely peaceful experience for me. also, it was close to literally every tourist attraction.

    The staff were friendly and helpful. Hostel is conveniently located at the best location. The vibe on the place is so well. It would have been better if the bathroom was cleaned daily. And the air condition was not working well. And the blanket provided was not big enough. Kitchen should be little bit moreclean. All other aspects were nice.

    My Santa Maria Hostels, Fort Kochi Stay was not in Good Taste. I do not recommend IT to Anyone Who expect atleast BASIC CLEANLINESS. They do not even make the Initial Bed (must be for Years. Bathroom & Comode were absolutely DIRTY. I have not seen such a DIRTY KITCHEN anywhere. Bad

    irudayam.

    The accommodation looks like a "gost house" and people are lying here and there. It's not at all worth for the money. So i felt total waste of money. I can finally say it's the worst accommodation i have ever stayed in my life (now i am 50 years old) time.

    Hi can totally understand your concern. First time you are coming to a backpackers hostel by thinking that its a star hotel. Our common rooms people may sleep , talk and play games . Its part if socialising. Please don’t Mind. And art work in hostel doesn’t means we have ghosts here , Fort Kochi is a place of art and artists. I totally understand your point. Backpacker hostel is not what you should book for your next stay.
