Parth was a legendary host and made us feel very welcomed instantly. He went out of his way to prepare delicious food for us and helped us get a scooter. The location itself is beautiful - an oasis in a hidden corner of Auroville - with a variety of crops growing all over the property. The hut experience was also amazing, and you can hear the sounds of birds and wind at night. There was also an amazing communal vibe, where we sat around the fire, listened to music, chatted and ate prepared bbq food. Definitely recommend!

It was truly a memorable experience. The vibe of the place is very peaceful and deeply connected with nature. A big shoutout to Raj, the host — he made me feel right at home and was always helpful and friendly. There were some jamming events going on in the evenings. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location is perfect — right on the main road, close to all the cafes. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Auroville! 🙌

All hostels in Auroville

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Big hostal in Auroville and great location near first entry point. Staff there all the time ready to help or advise points of interest.So much space in common areas with lots of lounging beds on various floors and games to play.Some activities planned for some evenings.Small kitchen area with drinking water available. Dorm beds with curtains,charger and light.All clean linen. Definitely worth a visit at such a good cheap price.
