Booked to stay 1 night here, ended up extending a week. Karthik was very friendly to myself and all his guests. I stayed in the 6 bed which had very comfortable beds. Lots of different chill areas, social vibes in the evening, games to play and hammocks. The hostel has two cute doggies who love cuddles. Karthik organises surf lessons as-well. One of the best hostels i’ve stayed in India, always clean, felt so welcomed and staff were extremely friendly. Made some lifelong memories here. Cannot recommend it enough, please stay here.

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 best hostel I’ve stayed at throughout my whole trip of India. Had originally booked two nights, and ended up staying a week- if I had the time I would’ve stayed for a month! Great location, super helpful and friendly owners, and a really comfortable feeling The around the place. Highly recommend. Plus the hostel has recently adopted a couple of adorable puppies!

    The staff is amazing. Friendly, talkative and really helpful. There is a great atmosphere. The dorm for 8 people was quite comfy. Very tasty and quite cheap meals in a hostel restaurant. Great location if you want to be near very calm beach. There are available some board games, hammock... in general, very chill atmosphere. Thanks!

    Great location very close to the beach boulevard! Many restaurants/cafes nearby. Many yoga shalas at walking distance if you want to do drop-in classes. Budget room is very basic but all you need really: a bed, terrace and bathroom - and the price is very affordable. Hostel offers wifi, laundry possibility, free water-refill. Staff is friendly and helps with everything, eg scooter rental. They also offered room cleaning several times during our week’s stay. 😊

    This was my first solo travel. The moment I reached the hostel, I could feel the warmth. Nikhil, Vikas, Kartik are really helpful, fun and warm people. The rooms are decent and the place has a raw touch. The food made by Kumar bhaiya was yumm too! The vibe of this place is immaculate. Great location, safe for solo girl travellers. Not to mention, lots of cuddles from the cute pups, cooper & mini.
