A big recommendation on this one! The family that runs that place was the nicest people we met in India. They helped us we everything we asked them, gave us recommendations about places and restaurants, give us coffee and water bottles as much as we asked, and all with a big smile and with a lot of patience and passion to help. The room was great, big, clean, good shower, hot water, location amazing and quiet. Was a pleasure to stay here, really recommend.

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.
