Amazing location, at foot distance from the lovely animated northern tip of Fort Kochi & less than 100m from ferry pier to Ernakulam. Niaz is so helpful, advised me a super breakfast place and always has some good ideas I personally loved the rooftop he has made, I went there everyday to do some yoga

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 enjoyed my time in the Bunk House hostel. Hostel staff: Hostel staff was very helpful and had a list of recommended places to dance, to eat, to sightsee. Location: Bunk House hostel is located in the heart of Fort Kochi, touristic district. Cafes, restaurants, shops, clubs and main touristic sightseeing places are around the hostel. I even found local bank with ATM in the neighbor street. Kochi beach was in 10 minutes of walking distance from the hostel. Common space: There was a very comfortable living room with tables, chairs, sofas and seats. Me and other foreigners and locals were having good discussions there. There was a bar/kitchen kinda room near the shower. I saw local tourists were having some food there. I joined them for conversation. Bedroom: There were several bunk beds, an air conditioner, a fan, a mirror, a WINDOW with fresh air, lockers in my bedroom. Each bed has a socket/plug to charge phone/laptop and light. Shower with toilet: There are several separate male/female showers with toilets. There was no hot water in the shower, but it was fine for me as it was very hot outside. Wi-Fi: Good free wi-fi worked very well everywhere in the hostel. Hostel was clean and nice. Hostel is the same as in booking.com pictures.

All hostels in Cochin

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 Hosteller is located in a great location to explore Fort Kochi. The dorm was clean and comfortable, with excellent AC which was much needed. The rooftop area was a nice space to relax in.

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.
