The hostel stories has a perfect location and very homely vibe. I made many friends and we all used to cook and eat together everyday. The host is very friendly and i shared lots of stories with him and could talk for hours. The beach is extremely close to the property with just 2 mins walking distance. I could also work from hostel with high speed wifi through out the day. I would definitely recommend this hostel for long term stay, workation stay or just weekend getaway.

I just checked out of Haust, Varkala, after an amazing stay. The place was peaceful and quiet, offering a perfect retreat. Wasim, the caretaker, was incredibly helpful, guiding me with bike rentals, the best food spots, and must-visit places. The property was well-maintained and had a fantastic vibe. .

the simplicity of the staff and how helpful they are. I have travelled a lot and there are few places where I have felt the homely vibes. Soul was one of such places. The staff is friendly. The rooms are spacious and clean. They make sure to clean the bathrooms neat and tidy. I was skeptical in the start as it is a new property but my stay was one of the most splendid ones in my travel timeline this year. Ask for the family lunch and dinner they serve. I had preordered and it was delicious and very homely unlike too spicy masala in the cliff cafes. Do not miss to have a quality conversation with Soham.

This place is not only great for socializing, but also for unwinding and enjoying some downtime. With its vast garden and lively bar, there's always something to do or see, whether you're into surfing or just lounging around. I had an amazing time here and will definitely be returning.

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.

    The best hostel I’ve stayed at throughout my whole trip of India. Had originally booked two nights, and ended up staying a week- if I had the time I would’ve stayed for a month! Great location, super helpful and friendly owners, and a really comfortable feeling The around the place. Highly recommend. Plus the hostel has recently adopted a couple of adorable puppies!

    The staff is amazing. Friendly, talkative and really helpful. There is a great atmosphere. The dorm for 8 people was quite comfy. Very tasty and quite cheap meals in a hostel restaurant. Great location if you want to be near very calm beach. There are available some board games, hammock... in general, very chill atmosphere. Thanks!

    This was my first solo travel. The moment I reached the hostel, I could feel the warmth. Nikhil, Vikas, Kartik are really helpful, fun and warm people. The rooms are decent and the place has a raw touch. The food made by Kumar bhaiya was yumm too! The vibe of this place is immaculate. Great location, safe for solo girl travellers. Not to mention, lots of cuddles from the cute pups, cooper & mini.
