Happy Panda Hostel Arambol

People don't come here for facilities or because it has the best of every checklist that you can find while thinking of hostels. They do because they want to meet nice people, they like the warmth of a home, they want friendly people who genuinely take care of them.

We do have all the essentials (and more) of a good hostel. But do not choose us if you evaluate a hostel based on its luxury facilities rather than vibes or people.

Good vibes because this is not a business for us. It's our home where we meet so many travellers.

Cleanliness is super important for us.

10 minute walk from the beach. Arambol drum circle, sweet water lake, banyan tree, mountain view, surfing, awesome vegan restaurants, village flea market, hippie parties (that you wont find anywhere else) - all close to us.

Wi-Fi that actually works . Our friends need to Work and Skype with their dear ones back home. We understand.

Some more good vibes from the universe.

Neon room for partying at night.

Bluetooth Jukebox - play your own music.

Good vibes because of awesome people like you.

Outdoor seating under mango trees.

Bar (cheap drinks) and loads of party nights and chatting about the meaning of life with fellow travellers.

Community kitchen with hot plate, oven, refrigerator and utensils at your disposal.

Good vibes because every one who has stayed with us till date has become our friend. Check our reviews, you will know.

Guitar and Djembe for our musician friends.

CCTV cameras, big lockers, Electronic RFID entrance - to protect everything that's in your backpack. Valuable memories, they are after all

Occasional campfire.

Our guests are like friends. This place is a home for travellers. We are not like commercial hostels with managers and plastic smiles. This is our home and we welcome all travellers to stay with us.

It's the first hostel in Arambol area. Meet fellow travelers and chill out in a beautiful place.
