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.

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.
