About

Right on Auroville Road, Zostel Pondicherry (Auroville Road) invites you to a chill beach escape with its pastel-coloured theme and spick-and-span interiors. The first thing that’ll catch your eye here is the traditional entryway and the picturesque cashew tree in the front yard. Inside, you’ll find copious corners with a cot or a swinging chair perfect for kicking back. And you know it will be a social escape when we tell you that each floor comes with a common area. Head to the rooftop, where snacks and drinks are served with a round of games. As for your stay, the plush private rooms and spacious dorm rooms will ensure your comfort. Make your way to this chill pad to experience a very Pondi-like getaway.

The property is easy to locate, around a bunch of good cafes and restaurants. The rooms are good for the price, and they do have regular housekeeping as well. Lockers are available. The common areas are nice and well maintained, they do have a restriction on bringing in food from outside tho. The hostel staff Karuna and Bhavesh, are really friendly and very helpful. I would definitely visit again. :)
