Clean modern hostel, great location in centre of Fort kochi - everything was walkable. Little atmosphere but dorm room privacy was good. Rooftop was shut so very little atmosphere and no food. Laundry expensive.

Don’t understand the whole check in online, extend online, pay online deal. Like what is the point the the reception if you have to do everything yourself? They were friendly though and the hostel is in a good spot, not much happening here though but good for 1/2 nights

Staff issue!! We arrived and they couldn’t find our booking. I had the reservation on the app, the confirmation email, and the payment proof showing that my booking was valid. It probably took them over 20 minutes to find the booking (it was already past midnight). The next morning, they told me they couldn’t find my payment 🤦‍♀️ To top it off, the female receptionist was very rude. BUT the hostel itself was actually good.
