I had an excellent stay at Sanchari Hostel. Raj, the host, is extremely friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything you need. He goes above and beyond to make guests feel comfortable, and over time he truly became a good friend of mine. The hostel has a great vibe, and the hospitality makes it feel like home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a pleasant and memorable stay

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.
