This women-only hostel is exceptionally amazing! Very clean, nice, and stylish. It has a really well-equipped kitchen, a make-up space, jacuzzi. There is a nice cozy shared area and the dorms are cute. Bunk beds have curtains and there is an AC on 24/7. The staff were nice and the fellow travellers as well.

I had a wonderful stay at Svastha. The location is beautiful—surrounded by lush nature yet just a short walk from town. The staff were kind and welcoming, and the whole space has such a peaceful, grounding energy. I loved the yoga and Ayurveda café concept — the classes, food, and overall atmosphere felt authentic and thoughtfully designed. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the kitchen and common areas made it easy to feel at home. The yoga teachers and facilitators were excellent — truly embodying the spirit of yoga and community. A great place to rest, connect, and recharge. Highly recommend!

Very cozy and informal environment, you will feel like home and make good friends instantly. The location makes you feel like in the middle of the jungle while still being 10 minutes away from the beach! Plus you can rent bikes.

Great staff, super nice reception and people! The location is cool, its not really in the city, but a few (2-3?) km from it, next to the nice beach area, which is much nicer and more interesting area. The hostel is super nice place to hang it, thanks for great stay!
