Crossroads Hostel 1957

Wayanad

The rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area, a flat-screen TV and a safety deposit box. Crossroads Hostel 1957 provides some rooms with river views, and rooms include a balcony. The units will provide guests with a fridge. The hostels pretty new but you won't ever feel that, not because something's broken or unhinged but because the hosts are so good at handling everything and because everything you could possibly think of is already provided..makes it seem like they've been doing this for years. The hosts are super hospitable. The food's lovely. There's always some pretty music playing in the background so the ambience is well maintained. Just a 10/10, can't believe how much we lucked out finding about this place.

They hadn’t been open long when I stayed - the mural in my room was beautiful, and the artist was here painting other rooms, so I think it will look gorgeous when it’s all finished.

House Of Surf Hostel for Women

Varkala Beach, Varkala

Set in Varkala, 200 metres from Odayam Beach, House Of Surf Hostel for Women offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The property is situated less than 1 km from Edava Beach, 1.8 km from Varkala Beach and 48 km from Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple. The air-conditioned rooms provide a wardrobe and free WiFi. Although I only stayed one night the service was incredible. Swati took such good care of me, it was very heart warming. The place was undergoing some construction and I was the only one there (which led to my decision to move) but once they're back on track and full of guests I think staying there will be a blast. Rooms are beautiful, cozy beds and close to beautiful odayam beach.

a LoFT

Alleppey Beach, Alleppey

Situated in Alleppey, 400 metres from Alleppey Beach, a LoFT features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. The property is located 2.4 km from Thumpoly Beach, 1.5 km from Alleppey Lighthouse and 2.4 km from Alappuzha Railway Station. Some rooms at the property have a terrace with a sea view.

Mullakkal Rajarajeswari Temple is 3.5 km from the hostel, while Ambalapuzha Sree Krishna Temple is 17 km from the property. The nearest airport is Cochin International Airport, 83 km from a LoFT. The hostel is tiny but super cozy! There’s just two dorm rooms with two beds each, which gives you a lot of privacy but still the opportunity to interact with a few other travellers. Everything is very clean and brand new, I received a towel and toilet paper roll and there were even some toiletries provided in the bathroom. Which is more than I expected for a hostel at this price range. Couldn’t have asked for a better location as its just a 1 minute walk from the beach and just a few minutes from some cool cafés. Really loved the atmosphere but most of all, I loved the people who run the place! Rahul and his partner (sorry I’m horrible with names haha) are absolute sweethearts. They made me feel right at home and did anything they could to help me. Be it from sharing a meal with me to helping me out big time with some issues I had with a kayaking trip. They are the absolute highlight of this hostel! At the price they are offering, the dorms are an absolute steal! Do not miss out on paying the loft a visit.
