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!
A surprisingly good hostel for all the international backpackers. A simple but spacious dormitory room, a breathtaking view from the rooftop. The location is calm, compared to other nearby hostels.
Possibly one of the best hostel I have been so far in India. I was in a 6 bed dorm with air condition and the room was very spacious. Toilet was also big and very clean. Very cheap laundry and you can rent bikes to go around or kayaks. The view from the hostel is beautiful and you can observe fisherman nearby every morning. The host can provide with dinner and lunch since around the hostel there is not much. Munroe Island itself is super quiet and very relaxing so if you are looking for many activities this might be not your place.
The best hostel for solo backpackers
Good location, good staffs. When I reached to the hostel, they wanted to suggest me another option of the lower bunk bed in another mix dormitory(Ⅰbooked 1 Lady dorm but already occupied lower bunk beds). More over, after arguing with other inns, when I was suddenly told that I wanted to come back here, I was warmly welcomed immediately.
We booked ac room by mistake but could not adjust it online. Owner really held by offering none ac. It was big help cause one of friends was sick. Also they give good advice on back eater trips. We r not big budget so he told us how to do it cheap. Also, on arrival, he greeted us very cool lemon juice, felt great coz of hot weather. We also ate pure-veg food and there was plenty of it. Overall, safe, peaceful and you could have a really nice time, had a nice chat with Johnson and seems a really nice guy, so we extended our stay as well.
great location, great communal space for meeting people, great to meet backpackers from both India and the West
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.
