When I arrived, I was told that the room that I had booked was not available, and that I could have a non-AC room for the night, and would need to change rooms on the second day. Highly disappointing and inconvenient. I was refunded the difference of money between an ac room and non-ac room for the one night, but little else was done to apologize or improve the situation. The place itself is old and dirty, the showers are filthy and moldy. I switched to a different hotel after 3 nights, which was around the same price and 100x nicer/cleaner.

although one of the cheapest hostels you can find in kochi it was one of the greatest i ever stayed in. the location was so close to the major sights of kochi as well as to the ferry terminals to the other islands. the staff were so friendly, always answered your questions and gave helpful advice and suggestions. the room itself was clean and even had air conditioning. a simple breakfast was also included and you can do the laundry at their place as they have a machine. way better then do laundry service outside which is much more expensive.
