The exceptional hosts, location, and authentic vision behind the place which genuine travellers would appreciate. The organic vibe, the diversity of guests, the safety and inclusivity, how close and personal all interactions are. A non-presuming, simple humane place. A fresh break from stuffy business hotels for working professionals. Could attend urgent office calls seamlessly watching afternoon rain over expansive backwaters. Life at home feels unnecessarily complicated, after seeing how comfort, belonging, beauty and spirit can combine so simply in such a setting.

Santa maria was such a great hostel. I booked 2 nights and ended up staying for a week, then I went back to celebrate Onam festival with everyone. The location is perfect, the staff are amazing, they serve free breakfast every morning and they have the most adorable dog. Great for solo travellers. I met a lot of people there. Next I went and stayed in Santa Maria, Munro island which was also lovely. NO1 Santa Maria fan !! THANKS GUYS

The owners, Babu and Kurumi are really kind and helpful. Also the room was clean and comfortable. We had good times in the common area: chilling, talking with others or playing carrom - unforgettable. The Miso soup is a must-try!

Such a nice hostel! One of the better hostels I’ve stayed in in India. everything is there: ac in the rooms, curtains on the bunkbeds, towels, clean showers (of which 1 is women-only), a nice common room, beautiful building, very central location, and also the host is extremely nice, he will send you a WhatsApp message with all his recommendations (and they really are good) and he is very helpful. He helped me to book my bus and was always there for information. Thanks.

All hostels in Cochin

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.

The Hosteller is located in a great location to explore Fort Kochi. The dorm was clean and comfortable, with excellent AC which was much needed. The rooftop area was a nice space to relax in.

Good location, good staffs. When I reached to the hostel, they wanted to suggest me another option of the lower bunk bed in another mix dormitory(Ⅰbooked 1 Lady dorm but already occupied lower bunk beds). More over, after arguing with other inns, when I was suddenly told that I wanted to come back here, I was warmly welcomed immediately.
