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!

The moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and kindness that made me feel instantly at ease. The space was always clean, calm, and full of positive vibes — perfect for relaxing or meeting like-minded travelers. Every corner felt thoughtfully cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind. I’d return without a second thought.
