    I always return here for business. the staff kindly returned my forgotten earphones. I find everything I need - Wi-Fi, AC, laundry, restaurant. Plus, it's adults-only, with a game room, board games, and 24-hour security in non-smoking rooms. Perfect!

    Had a great time at this hostel! The breakfast options were delicious, and the evening entertainment was a blast. Plus, the staff was really helpful with storing my luggage.

    Who needs peace and quiet anyway? The constant 24/7 music was such a joy, especially when I was trying to sleep or make a phone call.

    We had an amazing week at this hostel, with a lively rooftop music scene, exciting watersports, stunning sunsets, and vibrant beach parties. the breakfast at the terrace canteen was awesome, especially the French toast and sandwiches. the hostel managers were incredibly helpful, arranging affordable transportation and providing city guidance. the rooms were clean and tidy, and the hostel had a picturesque setting near the beach. Definitely a good value for money.

    Felt like a special experience, with nothing to complain about.

    The vibes, paintings, and location at Zostel Varkala are truly amazing. The well-maintained property offers games like table tennis and ludo, with a great cafe serving delicious dishes at reasonable prices. The DJ night until midnight adds to the fun atmosphere, making it perfect for solo travelers. The only downside was the loud music at times, but it didn't bother me much. Great spot for making new friends and enjoying a chill stay.

    The value for money at this hostel was great, and the rooms were clean and tidy. The location was convenient, with the beach nearby, and the staff treated me with utmost courtesy and assistance throughout my stay. I felt welcomed and well taken care of.

    The breakfast option could have been improved, maybe by offering a wider variety of choices.

    I spent a few days and immersed myself in local activities,. the staff, especially Manu, Joss, Shan, and Smriti, were exceptional and ensured a lively atmosphere. the room was peaceful and clean, with a comfy bed and efficient AC. the housekeeping team was attentive, and Mohammed organized all our transportation seamlessly. Special shoutout to the caring staff - Mohammed, Harish, Vishnu, and restaurant gem Manu - who went above and beyond.

    Would recommend this hotel.

    I flew in for my docu shoot, and this spot was a lifesaver! Mr Harish took good care of all us cool cats, and we bonded instantly. Imagine, we became one big, wild travel fam! Great grub, epic hangout space, and an easy vibe. No warm water, but that's just minor stuff. Chill rooftop views for those sunset snapshots. Budget travelers, this could be your jam for sure. Cheers to good times and new mates! .

    This place is the bomb! The chill vibes, the killer beach view, and the epic multipurpose terrace are jaw-dropping. The staff, especially Host Harish, made me feel right at home. And let's talk about the food at the hostel's restaurant - basic but oh-so-tasty! I can't forget to mention the peaceful location and the proximity to the beaches. The celebratory vibes here are off the charts. Everything about this place is mind-blowing, from the clean and comfortable rooms to the supportive staff and the awesome activities they organize. Wi-fi, air conditioning, laundry, restaurant, game room. I would give it a 100/10!
