Set within 700 metres of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple and 4.5 km of Napier Museum in Trivandrum, RAMAS GARDEN provides accommodation with seating area. The bed and breakfast, set in a building dating from 1995, is 2.2 km from Ayurvedic Medical College and 2.5 km from Trivandrum Railway Station. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and currency exchange for guests. The place is super pretty, the rooms are clean, there is a nice variety of choices for breakfast (indian vs western), and the greatest highlight was William, he really went above and beyond to make our stay as good as possible, we first arrived close to 00:00 and were super hungry and he made us some coffee and bread, he coordinated taxis for us, truly a super recommended place for your stay in Trivandrum.

• Nestled along the Coromandel Coast, The Leela Palace Chennai stands as the city’s only oceanfront luxury palace hotel, offering breathtaking views of the Bay of Bengal. Spanning 4.8 acres of serene landscapes, this architectural masterpiece seamlessly blends regal grandeur with world-class hospitality. The service is incredible. From the communication before our stay, to offering special upgrades at reasonable rates, to following through on everything they promised. Even though it's a big hotel, they treat you as a special individual. Loved it.

The Hostel Stories, Varkala - Helipad Road in Varkala provides adults-only accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

Popular points of interest near the accommodation include Varkala Beach, Varkala Cliff and Janardhanaswamy Temple. Thiruvananthapuram International Airport is 40 km away. Fabulous! This has to be one of the best, if not the best, hostel that I stayed in during my travels. I do not know where to begin in terms of describing just how amazing my overall experience was. The hostel is only a month or so old so everything is, as one would expect, brand new. Setback from the road you're away from the noise and traffic and yet still only a 5minute walk to the bustling cliff area. The dorm rooms are a good size with comfy beds, privacy curtains and individual lockers. The whole place is spotlessly clean. There's a lovely chill out area upstairs with a well appointed kitchen where you can either cook for yourself or buy a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner for around RPS150. The garden is a delight to sit in and isn't really overlooked either. What makes this place complete are the brilliant team; huge thanks to Vikram and Pintu who made me feel so welcome and provided so much fun and laughter. Book it now before it's too late!

Situated in Gokarna, a few steps from Gokarna Main Beach, Revibe Beach Hostel Gokarna features accommodation with a garden, private parking and a shared lounge. The accommodation offers free shuttle service, and luggage storage for guests. Stayed 3 nights here. Amazing location close to the beach. Relaxed vibe and super friendly staff. We visited off season, but still got a “family” feeling, because we played games in the evening and the host put on movies after request. The staff helped us with renting bikes and train tickets. Truly loved this place. And the food is amazing!!!

Situated in Puducherry, within 2.1 km of Sri Aurobindo Ashram and 2.1 km of Manakula Vinayagar Temple, Unpack Hostel features accommodation with a shared lounge and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 2.6 km from Bharathi Park, 3.3 km from Botanical Garden and 3.6 km from Pondicherry Railway Station. The property is non-smoking and is located 2.4 km from Pondicherry Museum. This hostel was a great find! Ronak and Kavya have created this safe, chill and cool space where you can see how much care they have put into it and how much they love hosting. Just like you, they are travellers and know what guests look for. They definitely made our stay in Pondy a lot better. We came to this hostel because we wanted to meet people and enjoy Pondicherry, and that is exactly what we got. Everyone was so friendly and respectful, and the vibes were on point. We made our temporary gang to explore Pondy during the day and every night we would come back to chill at the rooftop, have some drinks and play boardgames with Ronak and Kavya until late. Rooms and common areas were spotlessly clean. Super comfy beds with a fan, power point and fan plus locked storage per person. They also have a kitchen providing great food and drinks, and you can comfortably rent a scooter from them for the standard rate. We wish all the best to Ronak and Kavya in their adventures and will definitely stay with them next time!
