The best hostel I have ever been to. The place is very clean and well priced. The best thing about this hostel, however, is the people. The manager is the best hostel manager in the world, he will help you organize your time in Kerala, and help you with whatever you need. He is great, kind and friendly, spends a lot of time with the people of the hostel and cares about making the guests feel comfortable and having a good time. Besides, the hostel attracts super people from all over the world and is filled with positive energy. I spent 12 days in it and felt at home. An overnight stay at this place is a must!

The best place to stay in Edappally! The location is right in the heart of the city, yet you never feel the noise or rush — it’s peaceful, calm, and perfectly tucked away while still being fully connected to everything. The neighbourhood is safe, convenient, and ideal for travellers who want both comfort and accessibility. The caretaker is extremely good, friendly, and always ready to help, ensuring a smooth and comfortable stay throughout. Overall, this is truly one of the best stay options in Edappally for anyone looking for a relaxing experience in a prime location.

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.

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.

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.
