      Great place”

      It’s a great place to stay for backpackers. People come here as solo travellers and leave as friends and also end up staying longer than the expected. The place is charming but it's nothing like how you see on the profile picture. Clean and very helpful staff, especially Naijeen going out of his way to show things around. Ensure to join for the beach walk at 6.30am organized by the hostel. Thank you for the great stay.

      Friendly, helpful and awesome introduction to India. ”

      Zostel is super close to a lot of local amenities, the boys behind the desk are super kind and can hook you up with advice for travelling around fort kochi and beyond. I left my camera there and they are keeping it safe for me. The rooftop is super beautiful and a great place to chill and have a cold beer and breakfast is pretty good too. Can be a social hostel but also pretty quiet if you’re looking for a relaxed vibe. Felt safe and secure and there’s always someone around to help you out if you need.

      Situated off the main street in a quiet area but walking distance to Fort Kochi and many cafes in the area. Very clean and well maintained rooms with A/C and fan. I stayed 3 nights at a dorm with NO ensuite and only bathroom was on the roof which was very inconvenient. I then got moved to another dorm with an ensuite for the remaining 4 nights which was perfect. Great stay, recommended - just make sure you get the room with ensuite!

      Excellent option and Good location”

      i stayed there for two dasy and enjoyed my stay to the fullest. staff was accomodative and helping. Met other travelors and theri insight helped me to plan my trip better and i was able to go to some places which are not yet on touristy map. Location is close to bus staition, beach and other sight seeing points. if you catch a bus from airport or Kochi Mainland, it will directly drop you on main road from where hostel is just 2 min walk. highly recoomend this place

      Great stay overall. Super clean, comfortable beds, big bathroom. White sheets with thick duvet. Powerful AC that can be on all day. The rooms and bathroom are cleaned every day. Would definitely book again. They take credit cards and the price on Agoda is unbeatable. The cheapest I found across all the booking platforms. Would recommend 100%. Staff let me check in at 8:30 am, without hesitation!!! Would definitely come back

      Would not recommend this Zostel”

      I'm usually a big fan of Zostel, having stayed in 4 different Zostels. This one is rather disappointing. Property selection is not great, nor there is a view or a parking space available. Even the property feels quite congested and not so tastefully done as compared to my experience with other Zostels. Secondly, there was no functional kitchen on the 2 nights we stayed. The keys were supposedly taken by the cook & kitchen staff who were on leave. We found this a very lame excuse. Thirdly, the staff although courteous are not very proactive, and very casual. This attitude needs to change as service standards are affected.
