The Hostel Stories, Varkala - Helipad Road

Varkala

The Hostel Stories, Varkala - Helipad Road in Varkala provides adults-only accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace.

The Hostel Stories in Varkala is an incredibly friendly place to stay if you're visiting Varkala. I’ve been there for three weeks, and from the very first day, I felt at home—even though it was my first time in India! The hostel has a beautiful garden with hammocks, chairs, and fruit trees, always filled with good vibes and friendly people to chat with. The atmosphere is both calm and welcoming, making it easy to connect with other travelers while also having space to relax on your own. If you're traveling solo, I promise you won’t feel lonely! There’s also a lovely terrace where you can practice yoga early in the morning, hang your clothes to dry, or simply lie back and watch the stars at night. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the hostel is just a short walk from the South Cliff, where you’ll find the amazong ocean, cafés, restaurants, and all the shops you might need. A huge thank you to Pintu and all the staff at the hostel—you made my stay unforgettable!

I had such a great stay here, the house itself is spacious and beautifully decorated. The rooms are clean, bed and pillow are very comfy. The highlight was definitely the staff. I was sad due to some personal problems, and they did everything possible to see me smile again – and they succeeded! Thank you, Ajmal, for being such a lovely, patient guy. I loved trying on the lungi, I'll never forget that! Thank you, Ameer, for all the rides, amazing food and showing me places I'd never discover by myself. You guys are amazing! Best of luck on all your future endeavors :)

This is a really good budget option to stay in Mysore. I loved how they have done the property to make it cozy. They have provided all the facilities like AC, multiple washrooms and fully functioning kitchen. Even though the property is a little away from main area of the city you can use Rapido to book auto or bike easily.

So far the best Hostel I have been to. They say it's all about the people and it's true. I felt very welcome, almost like living with family or with friends. Very good athmosphere. I know there were many people that usually come here for work, but even as an tourist from another country I didn't felt foreign at all. Thanks a lot for giving me company and a place to stay in which I could always rely on. Best wishes to all the staff members and will I ever come back to Bengalore - I will stay here.

The exceptional hosts, location, and authentic vision behind the place which genuine travellers would appreciate. The organic vibe, the diversity of guests, the safety and inclusivity, how close and personal all interactions are. A non-presuming, simple humane place. A fresh break from stuffy business hotels for working professionals. Could attend urgent office calls seamlessly watching afternoon rain over expansive backwaters. Life at home feels unnecessarily complicated, after seeing how comfort, belonging, beauty and spirit can combine so simply in such a setting.

Broad Lands was fantastic, clean, and had charming colonial architecture. Its location made visiting key attractions easy. A tip for future visitors: use the Metro from the airport. We found it much cheaper and more convenient on our return trip. I highly recommend this hostel for its cleanliness, charm, and convenience.

Big hostal in Auroville and great location near first entry point. Staff there all the time ready to help or advise points of interest.So much space in common areas with lots of lounging beds on various floors and games to play.Some activities planned for some evenings.Small kitchen area with drinking water available. Dorm beds with curtains,charger and light.All clean linen. Definitely worth a visit at such a good cheap price.

A really really cute hostel, with lovely architecture! Rooms and beds were really comfy, and the AC was incredible! Great location for tourist needs, good food nearby, and a cheap Uber to the palace etc. Space to sit outside and in the common area, as well as having great kitchen facilities and dining area! The security guard on 24/hrs made us feel super safe and was also a great character, always willing to chat and hang out with us despite not knowing much english, he was a great laugh and asset to the place!
