I had an incredible stay at The Chill House — it truly lives up to its name! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and at home. Niaz, the host, is one of the kindest and most helpful people I’ve met while traveling. He went above and beyond to make sure every guest felt comfortable, offering great local tips, arranging transport, and even organizing social activities on the rooftop. The location is perfect — tucked away just enough to be peaceful, yet within easy walking distance to the beach, ferry, and all the charming spots around Fort Kochi. The hostel is spotless and thoughtfully designed, with both dormitories and private rooms available. This gives you the best of both worlds — a sociable hostel atmosphere if you're looking to meet fellow travelers, and the privacy and comfort of your own room if you're a more mature traveler or prefer a quieter stay. The beds were super comfy, the AC worked well, and each room had its own bathroom, which was a big plus. The rooftop area was a personal favorite — perfect for relaxing, doing yoga, or meeting other guests. Wi-Fi was strong and reliable, and the shared kitchen was great for cooking your own meals. Pro tip: If you're arriving by metro, get off at Elamkulam Station — it's the closest stop and only about a ₹50 auto ride to the ferry jetty that takes you straight to Fort Kochi. Whether you're traveling solo, with friends, or as a couple, The Chill House is a fantastic base to explore the best of Fort Kochi. I can’t recommend it enough and will definitely be back!

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 location was perfect, a 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk from airport. The staff were friendly and organised a taxi to the airport for us at 3am, they were also communicative over WhatsApp when needed. The room itself was fine, had air conditioning and was a good size for two people for one night looking for a cheap stay near the airport.

    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.
