    Reviews Summary

    Powered by Myra.AI

    This property offers a scenic balcony view and a cozy atmosphere, making it a budget-friendly option for a peaceful getaway. The location is great, just a short walk from the beach. Guests appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, along with the clean rooms. However, some users noted a lack of basic amenities like hot water, kitchenette facilities, and room cleaning, which could use improvement. While there are mixed opinions, many found it a decent value for the price.

    No refund even on medical grounds

    priya r.solo

    I was unable to make the trip due to a medical emergency and was not offered even a partial refund. I had also contacted the owner by calling asking about a room upgrade prior to the medical issue- while he responded well on call and asked me to contact him on whatsapp, received no reply or communication back.

    Photos are outdated and internet is terrible

    akshay a.loyalty-iconsolo

    I thought of staying here because of the good review and seemed liked a nice choice for staycation. The internet does not work inside the room at all, so finally you have to sit on an uncomfortable old sofa which is there on one of the floors and work. Might be a good choice if you are coming for vacation but for the rates which are there not at all worth it. The pictures of library and the common area are from the old property which no longer exists. They don't do room cleaning.

    Quite, comfortable stay!

    sahiba k.solo

    I was looking for some quiet time to relax in Varkala and Verve Hostel at that time was the perfect place to stay. It is at a 15 min walking distance from the cliff, away from the hustle and bustle. The property has been done up in a beautiful manner, and the best part is the art on the walls which gives it a unique and personal feel, which has been done by one of the owners. My stay at Verve was very comfortable, the hostel owners were kind and sweet enough to help me with directions, and getting acquainted with the place. The hostel is a two minutes walk away from cafe coffee restaurant, which is a great place for all your meals. Otherwise, the hostel also has its own kitchen, equipped with the basics for making a meal or some tea, accessible at all times, which really made it better. If you want to relax, meet people, but also want your own space, then Verve is the place to stay at in Varkala.

    Chilled out hostel

    achu b.loyalty-iconsolo

    It was kind of a chilled out stay. The people there appeared to be friendly and the cliff is about 15 minutes by walk.
