About

Munnar is a place where time slows down, and nature takes center stage. Tea-covered hills roll endlessly, mist drifts lazily over winding roads, and the air is crisp with the scent of eucalyptus and fresh rain. The town moves at its own pace—where travelers wake up to the sight of floating clouds and unwind with cups of locally brewed chai. Whether you're here to trek through lush trails, visit hidden waterfalls, or simply do nothing but admire the views, Munnar always delivers.

The Hosteller Munnar offers a stay as refreshing as the town itself. Designed for both backpackers and groups, it features spacious dorms, private rooms with balconies, and a unique glass cabin perfect for stargazing. The outdoor seating areas provide a peaceful spot to work or relax, while our in-house café serves delicious, hearty meals to keep you fueled for your adventures.

The property is designed to complement its surroundings, with earthy tones, cozy corners, and open spaces that invite conversation and connection. By night, the bonfire area comes alive, bringing travelers together over stories and laughter. Whether you’re exploring sprawling tea estates, wandering through vibrant spice markets, or enjoying the crisp mountain air from our terrace, this hostel in Munnar makes every moment special.

So, whether you're seeking solitude, adventure, or a little bit of both, The Hosteller Munnar is ready to welcome you. Come, breathe, and let the hills take over.

WARNING - This hostel is a 40 minute drive from Munnar. It is an old resort that was repurposed to a hostel so the rooms are big but you need to be aware of a few things. Restaurant is bad. Food choices are few, quality is low to average and prices are high. No other restaurants in the area mean you are stuck eating here. They don’t rent motorbikes so you can’t drive to town yourself. Tuk tuk mafia keep prices sky high. 1000 to go to Munnar. Avoid this hostel unless you have your own transport

Great hostel, beautiful location but a bit out of town (It seems that’s the case for most Munnar hostels). Bonfires and singing or games every night, they can arrange Tuktuk for you if you want to go to town or explore the area

Loved being above the valley in a rural setting. Good food at the restaurant, great 4 bed dorm, ample space, comfortable with its own lounge are and balcony. Staff very helpful and friendly. Only concern is that it was 33 km from Munnar that took an hour to drive. If you are seeing places on the south side, basically on the road to Thekkady, then it’s fine but if you want to see the other side with many of the places you want to see in Munnar, it’s 2 hours round trip when there is no traffic.
