    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

    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.)

    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.
