England MALE 25-30 Apr 19, 2026 Atm 40%

Nice hostel, centrally located, easy walk to Old Town and many cafes/pubs. Kitchen is available for cooking/heating food. Rooftop has a basic terrace to sit and hang laundry. Information present about what to do and where to go in the city. Bunks were basic but comfortable, sheets unfortunately had stains all over and pillows didn't appear to have been washed recently. Staff were a little clueless but overall friendly and nice.

It was great! Warm and kind staff, close to the main attraction but in the vibrant local side of the city, great people and great connections! Highly suggested!

It seemed to take us the duration of our stay to check-in to the hostel. After initially checking in we then needed to confirm our details, then provide our passports. It was all a bit disjointed. Location is okay on a busy street and not too far from attractions.

I enjoyed my stay here and would recommend it to future travelers. The location is perfect- right in the heart of the city with plenty of autos around should you wish to travel further. I had great experiences with the staff- Akash and the curly haired young guy from Pondy (I'm sorry I forgot your name! T.T) were wonderful. Very helpful and happy to answer questions. The hostel had a pretty nice layout with a really great rooftop. I stayed in a single room and was comfortable. Facilities wer...

Great hostel. Super clean rooms and very helpful staff. Atmosphere was lacking but also we weren’t there in peak season. Would definitely recommend and would happily stay there again. Just maybe bring ear plugs as is very close to the road

Great location, but the hostel atmosphere and staff were lacking. Female dorm aircon remote was kept by reception so had to keep asking them to adjust the temp. Lots of mosquitoes in the hostel and at times, the water purifier wasnt working.

Right in the middle of the heritage town. Walking distance to the beach and other places. Comfortable bunk beds. With locker to store luggage. Clean bathrooms. No restrictions on AC timings. One of the top hostels i have stayed in India. Highly recommended if you are visiting Pondicherry

Too many mosquitos, charges money for washing machine even though it says free. Reception person was not polite and moved my things without my permission in my absence. Excessive micro-management, changed our bed without prior notice, changed rules as per their convenience, made my stay uncomfortable a lot many times. Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone as hotels are much more welcoming and have no such conventional and unwanted rules.

I really enjoyed my stay here and would absolutely go again. The staff were super friendly and helpful and the hostel had lots of space to relax and meet other travellers. The location was also great and only a very short walk from most of the shops and other attractions in White Town. I would highly recommend this place.
