Loved that the host and staff were very accommodating. Any request I had was graciously met. Hanging out at the rooftop lounge and playing party games became a nightly ritual that I loved. Can easily access rental scooties at reasonable rates. BYOB is a good rule they have here. 24/7 access to facilities was amazing and the hostel is very well maintained. Loved it!

We really liked the vibe of the entire property & staff - they were very cooperative and accommodating of all our requests, would like to specially mention Kandhan and thank him for his selfless service to make our stay an extremely memorable experience by taking us to early morning cycle ride to Auroville forest (Infact, I learnt to ride a bike because of him), making us feel the village culture by showing us various plantations, showing us the area around and being extremely helpful + humble + generous in this entire time even while providing us scooty services as he was constantly checking if we are facing any issues with regards to that alongside helping us plan our days. Food at Zostel cafe was very fresh, healthy & tasteful. They have good variety of things available in the menu and the cafe looked extremely aesthetic as well as soothing. Also, the prices were reasonable. Overall, our experience was really good and we would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Pondicherry. :)

The staff is friendly and helping. Though it was 6 bed dormitory but there was no disturbance at all. The food is also very light and tasty. Got a chance to had some conversation with Vijji akka(cook), she is awesome.

Not comparable to an actual backpacker hostel. This was my first (and last) one in India. I must have stayed in hundreds of backpacker hostels by now, but none like this before. The staff was unmotivated, I couldn’t even get bed sheets or a towel on check in and I had bed bugs in my bed too. All that for a whooping 25€ per night in a 6 bed dorm. Not again… at least not for me.
