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. First of all i want to say thank you so much to the host ' Pintu Bhaiya' who has made this small hostel like home & the same was reflected during my stay. Before planning a trip to Varkala i did a lot of research and was skeptical travelling alone to new location, but he helped me with everything from cafe recommendations to scooty bookings making my stay memorable. Don't miss sunset walks :) I know i will be back at my this home soon.

At the hostel, rooms include a desk and a balcony with a mountain view. Every room is fitted with a safety deposit box and certain rooms have river views. At Crossroads Hostel 1957 all rooms come with a wardrobe and a flat-screen TV. Crossroads Hostel 1957 was such a welcoming place to arrive at. Aflah really took care of me on arrival as I was exhausted from a long journey from Kochi and Kozhikode. My room was upgraded and Sundar promptly made me a delicious lunch. In fact Sundar was a master in the kitchen, and all meals are prepared for guests. It is a very chill place to visit, grab a bike or pick a book to read enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Oh and Trance the dog will adopt you immediately, he is so gorgeous.

The bed was very good and comfortable, the room was spacious, everything was very clean, and the best part was the shower! It’s the best shower I’ve ever had in a hostel, and it even has hot water. The location is also good, as it’s at a higher altitude and a bit away from the center, so it’s very quiet and peaceful. It was totally worth staying there to visit Munnar. Highly recommended!
