So I had a bit of a nightmare getting into India first as I applied late for my visa (my fault) 🙃 then had delayed flights and arrived super late (2am) I felt so bad but Rish (the manager) was an absolute legend and went out of his way to make sure I not only got to the hostel safe and sound but got my taxi driver to find some food for me before arriving and getting his friend to let me in! He helped me so much along the way with any questions and has been super friendly. The people I’ve met at the hostel have been absolute gems too we all settled in effortlessly and had such a nice time. The hostel is tucked away on a river which is super relaxing and surrounded by nature. It has a real nice vibe about it I would definitely recommend coming to stay here if you’re visiting Kochi :)

I had the pleasure of staying at an incredible hostel in Kochi, and I can’t recommend it enough. The location was absolutely perfect, close to all the key tourist spots, charming cafes and everything you’d want to explore in the heart of Kochi. But what really made the experience special was the host, Niaz. He’s just incredible. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests and goes out of his way to make sure you’re comfortable. Nothing was ever too much for him: whether it was tips on where to go, help with anything I needed or just making you feel welcome. He’s the kind of host that makes you feel at home even when you’re miles away from yours.

I have had couple of surgeries before having to have stayed at Kochill. Babu helped me every time of every day. He looked after me in a very calm and non intrusive way. He was always there for every request that I made as a recovering patient. And he was really helpful and affable with other guests too. The entire staff of this place has 5/5 starts from me. Thank you very much :)

All hostels in Ernakulam

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Apart from the clean accomodation. There is an entire community built here just to cater to a backpacker's experience no matter where they are from. Hidden inside it's very peaceful situated away from the city's chaos.

A clean, comfortable and cosy hostel that is great for backpackers or short termers. Location is also good as you can walk to the metro station and the jetty.
