I had a very special night here. The volunteers were lovely and helpful. The hut was very cozy and the stay was a real bang for the buck. Would love to return someday.

Nice hostel located in Auroville and surrounded by nature. Perfect for meeting new people. I liked the creativity area, the smoking area, the fire camp, the yoga rooftop and the shared kitchen.

It was truly a memorable experience. The vibe of the place is very peaceful and deeply connected with nature. A big shoutout to Raj, the host — he made me feel right at home and was always helpful and friendly. There were some jamming events going on in the evenings. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location is perfect — right on the main road, close to all the cafes. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Auroville! 🙌

Micasa hostel is a nice and safe place, especially for women travelers. I am glad to see that hostel is working towards women’s safety by providing women safe environment in the hostel. Staff: Hostel staff was friendly and helpful what’s related to hostel. Location: Hostel has very good location. There are souvenir and clothing shops, café and restaurants, fruit markets, pharmacy, autoriksha and buses around the hostel. Central bus stand is 30 minutes of walking distance from the hostel. French quarter/White town, temples and cathedrals, rocky beach, promenade boulevard and botanical garden are 10-15 minutes of walking distance from the hostel. My room: My bed was very comfortable and located at the gentlemen section of the hostel (ladies have own section where men are not allowed!). There are lockers under bunk beds, reading lights and plug/outlet next to each bed, air conditioner in the room. Remote control from the air conditioner can be provided to you if to ask reception. Otherwise, you will need to call reception each time when you need to turn on/off air conditioner. Shared space: There is a common male showers with toilets, a shared (with ladies) kitchen with everything needed for storage, cooking or warming own food, a living room for chatting with other travelers, an elevator/lift, an iron with board, a filtered water to refill empty bottles, a balcony to dry wet laundry and two rooftop terraces. Please be aware that there is no electric kettle in the kitchen. But there is a pot where you can boil tea like Indian. Cleaning: Hostel was very clean all the time. Hostel is the same as in booking.com pictures. I can highly recommend this hostel for everyone.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Big hostal in Auroville and great location near first entry point. Staff there all the time ready to help or advise points of interest.So much space in common areas with lots of lounging beds on various floors and games to play.Some activities planned for some evenings.Small kitchen area with drinking water available. Dorm beds with curtains,charger and light.All clean linen. Definitely worth a visit at such a good cheap price.
