Hostel By The Sea - Backpacker Hostel in Kochi - Ernakulam, India

It looks like the place has just opened up after being closed for a couple of years. So it was more like an abandoned place with no basic facilities like wifi,house keeping, not even drinking water. Though the bed was comfortable, it lacked working power sockets. So to sum it all up ,nothing seemed to be in place.

very good stay .i recommend to all without doubts ..the location is main at the center of the fort kochi. easy to access shops, restaurants and beach ..host is very good person. clean and neat property .

This is a very affordable place. Comfortable for people who are only looking to stay at a place at night and roam around the whole day. I would say, they need to maintain the cleanliness of the place, washrooms are kind of dirty pretty much all the time. Considering 500 rupees a day, what would you expect anyway. They don't provide food. Ac works only at night, after 8 pm. Veranda has a very welcoming feeling, with a lot of bean bags.

Exceeded my expectations. The dorm was fine, clean, there was AC & Wi-fi. You get assigned to your bed, the bathroom is common. It was spacious and quiet, the common area provided a good view. You can strike up conversations with fellow travellers but that totally depends on the people you're around. Overall, it was a really good stay. The one attending is very polite, I went out at night after he had slept but he got up to give me directions. Good stay for a night or two for backpackers/solo travellers.

This is an amazing place to stay if you are passing by through Kochi. The location is amazing and easily connected. The views were great.fort Kochi beach is just a few steps away from the hostel..the hostel rooms/bathrooms/galleries sparkling clean. The beds were very comfortable. Overall this is a great place to stay at a very cheap price. Do go for it

Nice and clean dormetry. Just near to beach. Awesome view. 20 person in a room is too much. You can't get good sleep as everyone will be disturbing you by speaking and tuning on light. They check in people even at midnight and disturb you. If you'd like to have peaceful sleep then this place is not a better choice. Otherwise this place is ok.

I had the best stay here!! Met some really cool people! .. Since i wasnt a hostel kid, i badly wanted to experience how it would be..and this place did not disappoint at all! From great hosts to total hippy n happy vibes this place is for those who wanna let go and embrace oneself. With a beautiful view to the kochi beach thru the balcony, this place has got it all. And to top it all it doesnt burn a hole in your pocket! So pack your bags and head to this place!! :')

This place was a mixed bag of emotions. We stayed here for 4 nights at the occasion of visiting Kochi biennale. The dorm is clean and while we have to use the same set of toilets and bathrooms, they are cleaned regularly. The dorm is airy and there is also place outside to chill. However, couple of other residents were very misogynistic and rude to me. The management did handle it OK but they gave me the feeling that they handled it well only because it might affect their ratings. All in all, mixed feelings. They are affordable.
