Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    The best thing about this place is safety for girls. We’ve stayed in a lotta hotels in kochi but almost always had bad experience. This place is super affordable and safe. Moreover the beds and linens were very comfortable, bathroom was sufficiently neat and common areas were a breath of fresh air to sit and talk or even do your own work..I’d highly recommend this place to all my friends and I commend the initiative of the staff for the hospitality and maintenance of the place
