Met all expectation”

Being a solo backpacker, my requirement in bed & bath. This place is extraordinary hostel and provides you everything. Please note this place is just 8 months old so it is very new & growing tremendously in terms of quality service. Hostel by sea is in the prime location of Fort Kochi. The property is owned by Cultural Dept - State Govt of Kerala. The bus station located at the right, auto rickshaws rides are available at the gate and cross the road for leisure boat ride & cross island ferry service. The beach and Chinese fishing nets are just a walk away. Every single ship that enters the Kochi port pass through this strait. To the left you will find authentic yummy traditional food. Every single attractions are just a walk apart. Visit: Jew Town, Dutch Palace, Biennale & etc. Facilities: The hostel is well equipped with essential amenities, breakfast will be served upon request (made on previous day). There is a small pantry with storage facilities. The beds are very much comfortable, all the amenities were neat and tidy. The personal locker is provided for each bed was amazing, my big 75Litres backpack seamlessly fit inside the box. Each beds are equipped with electric charging slots which are optimal for all our electric gadgets, all were in proper working conditions. The well-lit beautiful pantry is the happening place, for socializing, chats, songs & music. Service: This property is currently run by two friends & their brothers. Saud is one of them, always with a smile he is the best host here. You name it he make it, they have very good knowledge on local areas. They have suggested me a calm and least populated beautiful beach (puthenthodu beach). They were very friendly, especially if you are solo they give you amazing company. Easy to make a network of friends via these young team. One of them (Sahadab) invited me to his restaurant (Beach bay) near the beach and served delicious sea food. Crowd: Weekends are pretty packed by artist & students. However

Hostel By Sea - Stay Experience”

My Stay at Hostel By Sea was wonderful. The owners are very passionate about the place and their services. The location is perfect, everything around Fort Kochi is very accessible from the Hostel. Also, It was my first hostel experience and I have met such amazing people who are from around the world an have gelled with them. Staff is very helpful. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained. They also provide fresh bedsheets and lockers to every visitor. Best Place for Bag Packers, a group of friends and family

Very comfortable accommodation”

1. Location is very good (just around the airport bus stop) 2. The price of hostel is very cheap, and however, it is air- conditioned after 10 o'clock pm. 3. The room and toilet inside is clean. 4. The private items could be placed in the iron box under the bed. (you have to prepare locks.) 5. Bed linen and balnkets are not supposed to be very clean (it is not unusual thing in some budget accommodation.) 6. Only cold water supplies in shower (Kochi is tropical city, and travellers need no hot weather supply) 7. Toilet paper can not be added in time (The benefit of the hostel is very limited. Travelers can prepare toilet paper by yourselves.)

Nikhi and Mannu running the place very nicely. Friendly boys and awesome experience ”

Great to meet other travelers. Perfectly located. Interesting people looking after the hostel.

Excellent hostel in Fort Cochin!”

Clean, spacious and comfortable dorms. Each bed get its own power plug, you get 24h AC in the room. The staff is friendly. The location is great - right in the middle of the action and just 20m away from the bus station. I highly recommend.

Best in town.”

Comfortable and spacious facilities, kitchen on the terrace, overlooking the jetty. And Munna's attention and recommendations at the reception, to have a perfect stay. I will be back! Instalaciones cómodas y espaciosas, cocina en la terraza, vista al embarcadero. Y la atencion y recomendaciones de Munna en la recepcion, para tener una estadia perfecta. Volvere!

Okay, but had better”

The owners where super friendly and very helpfull! They helped us plan our hole trip to munnar and back and then to allepy... which trains, busses, ferry's.. which time and how much it costs. Also came up with a cheap way to see the backwaters.. Everything saved us a lot of money! The guy that is staying during the night is less helpfull.. you can not find him at crucial timings (like checking out time). The hygiene is so so. Beds are clean, bathrooms could be a bit cleaner but it's doable.

Great value and location ”

Staff and owner were very helpful. We stayed two nights and enjoyed it very much. The dorms are very big and provide personal lockers.

Friendly Helpful Host and Spacious Room”

The dorm room was quite large so it was comfortable even on mixed dorm. The host was exceptionally friendly that he helped me to arrange a boat tour which exactly what I was looking for.

Clean not clean”

Pros : wifi, location, clean bedsheets, free lockers, AC. Cons : toilet not very clean, not a big chilling space and receptionist not speaking good English therefor not being able to direct me to bus options to Ernakulam.

No wifi, no facility, ”

No wifi, after midnight was the one entering the room against the morning. I didn't change the bed sheets once I stayed for 10 days.

非常棒的青旅”

价格是这边最优惠的了，靠近海边，走路一分钟不要就可以看到中国渔网，沿着海岸走很舒服，晚上有夜市，早上附近有个喝茶早点地方很多当地人来吃。这里厨房可以免费使用，如果你吃不惯当地菜，可以去市场买点菜自己做，比较大的市场要坐船到市区搜下market就知道了。
