Property Description

Zostel Varkala is a mere 15-minute ride from the railway station and sits right by the Black Sand Beach, which is a 3-minute walk from the hostel.

Only 1 hour from Trivandrum and 4 hours from Kochi with Alleppey falling on the way, Varkala is one of the rare beach towns of India, in terms of topography and charm alike. It brings with it a fine platter of beaches along with a lighthouse, a fort, and umpteen roads laced with coconut and palm trees. Surfers and parasailers make its shores an aquatic playground, whereas jolly backpackers and hippies linger over by the cliff, trying scrumptious seafood and shopping dreamcatchers. Sunrises and sunsets bring out the violets and crimsons in otherwise shy skies here, whereas night-time is a treasure trove of constellations. A quintessential trait of this town is to always smell enchanting, which is credited to the many renowned Ayurveda and Yoga centres of the country that find a home here. Varkala is neighboured by short escapes.

Zostel Varkala provides dorm room as well as private room. Free wifi features the whole property. Our friendly staff is always there to help you. For any travel questions, please feel free to let us know. We will give you suggestions accordingly.

Beautiful stay in Zostel Varkala. Good location. Staff are friendly and helpful in arranging taxis, they also organise day trips around in the area (eg. Munroe Island) which is great. Only thing to mention is hot water can be limited if showering at night but generally wasn't an issue as the weather was so hot so showering in cooler/luke warm temperature was ideal!

Great place for solo travellers for both workcation and vacation. Zostel varkala does have a very good wifi connection , the cleanliness is praiseworthy, the location and staff are amazing too. They have tie ups with various activity groups for surfing, kayaking, yoga class or ayurvedic therapies. Only thing that can be better is food both in terms of variety and taste. Overall, highly recommended.
