This hostel was a great find! Ronak and Kavya have created this safe, chill and cool space where you can see how much care they have put into it and how much they love hosting. Just like you, they are travellers and know what guests look for. They definitely made our stay in Pondy a lot better. We came to this hostel because we wanted to meet people and enjoy Pondicherry, and that is exactly what we got. Everyone was so friendly and respectful, and the vibes were on point. We made our temporary gang to explore Pondy during the day and every night we would come back to chill at the rooftop, have some drinks and play boardgames with Ronak and Kavya until late. Rooms and common areas were spotlessly clean. Super comfy beds with a fan, power point and fan plus locked storage per person. They also have a kitchen providing great food and drinks, and you can comfortably rent a scooter from them for the standard rate. We wish all the best to Ronak and Kavya in their adventures and will definitely stay with them next time!

Amazing view (immediately near seaside), very nice and super clean place, very good food and amazing people who work there. We enjoyed every single day! They created different events in evenings, so we had also much fun.

Clean room, good mattress. The location is great. The traffic outside can be a little noisy, if that sort of thing bothers you. Otherwise, this place is quite perfect for an affordable stay. Good places to eat downstairs. You arent quite far from anything in Pondicherry here.

Wonderful quiet place in the forest. Surrounded by nice people. I really spent a beautiful Christmas time with those guys. There was cacao ceremony and estatic dance event on Sunday, powerful and meditative journey. I want to stay longer next time. Thanks Devansh, Art Forest team and guests 🙏

We really liked the vibe of the entire property & staff - they were very cooperative and accommodating of all our requests, would like to specially mention Kandhan and thank him for his selfless service to make our stay an extremely memorable experience by taking us to early morning cycle ride to Auroville forest (Infact, I learnt to ride a bike because of him), making us feel the village culture by showing us various plantations, showing us the area around and being extremely helpful + humble + generous in this entire time even while providing us scooty services as he was constantly checking if we are facing any issues with regards to that alongside helping us plan our days. Food at Zostel cafe was very fresh, healthy & tasteful. They have good variety of things available in the menu and the cafe looked extremely aesthetic as well as soothing. Also, the prices were reasonable. Overall, our experience was really good and we would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Pondicherry. :)

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.

    Absolutely Delightful Experience staying at OSTEL! The vibe is unmatched! The staff is friendly and helpful. Dinesh, JP, Anil make you feel at home with their hospitality and warmth. The inhouse cafe has good food. Need a cafe on the rooftop as well ! The place was exceptionally clean, given the fact it's right next to the beach and covered with trees on all sides and is a backpackers hostel. Just request the owners of the property to privatize the beach patch right in front. That would make the property a 20/10.

    Ostel is a backpacker's dream come true, offering an ideal blend of affordability and luxury. Their dorm options cater perfectly to the wandering soul, providing a cozy and communal atmosphere for fellow travelers to connect and share stories. Despite the budget-friendly rates

    Before being in this hostel, I was in another 2,5 km from the center but this one was really well situated, in the main active center of Pondichéry (that's not what said google when I followed the 'distance to center', if only I knew it before 😥). The dormitory was quite large with a balcony, a kitchen to share, all really clean. It's like a house with huge spaces recently renovated, really really nice ! And the welcome is warm. It was a really good surprise for this price !

    Micasa hostels - my first solo trip hostel and boy am I glad i picked this place. Very safe and well connected, it's walkable distance from all cute cafes of pondi. Hosts Sam and Sandeep very friendly , they helped me with everything - bike rents, places to visit etc. Hostel is very well maintained, clean. Washrooms are constantly being cleaned by their staff. I would definitely recommend this hostel to others and especially solo traveling females.
