I really loved the vibe of Micasa. The staff were very very supportive.It was my first trip to Tamil Nadu but i felt like a home here. Special Thanks to Sandeep and Arun.both were very kind and humble who suggested a good place to explore plus they made sure i get a bus to catch my morning flight. Facilities are also good.The best part is location. you can visit many places on the foot.

First impressions was good! A very safe and comfortable hostel stay for travellers. Lovely yard and garden with fruit trees and lots of plants. This is a place for peace minded and for some great activities. I met some really nice people here. The owner and staff are really warm, welcoming, kind and will help you for any needs. They have a nice kitchen where you can cook your own meal. My overall experience was so good and it makes me feel I should visit again.

Here’s the English version in the “you” form: It’s hard to put into words how special my time with you was. From the very first moment, I felt welcomed and at home. Your place is so much more than just accommodation – it’s a magical retreat that nourishes the body, mind, and soul. Parth, you are one of the most inspiring people I have ever met. Your warmth, wisdom, and openness touched me deeply. I learned so much from you, and these experiences will stay in my heart for the rest of my life. I tried all the nature rooms and can recommend every single one of them. Especially the room with the balcony was a highlight – it’s perfect for meditation and invites you to find peace and connect with yourself. Your place captivated me so much that I stayed longer than I had planned – and I could have stayed even longer. The surroundings are simply breathtaking – perfect for finding peace, connecting with nature, and recharging. If you’re looking for a place where you can truly feel at home, I wholeheartedly recommend your place. Thank you for letting me be a part of your world. I will definitely be back! Does this match your vision?

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.
