Staying at Nomad House Hostel on my very first solo trip was such a lovely experience. The place has a calm, welcoming vibe that instantly made me feel at home. I really enjoyed spending time in the common lobby, and Puppy 🐶 was an absolute delight. A big shoutout to Kevin — he felt more like a long-known friend than a host. We had great conversations, and it was a fun coincidence that we both got new bikes on the same day. My first solo trip went really well, and this stay made it even mor...

I spent 2 more days. The staff is so kind. You can rent a bike for nothing.The location is perfect you are next to the bus stand and city center but isn't noisy!

Great hostel with a great vibe. The hostel is clean and neat, with 2 great social spaces. The owner is super friendly and can arrange scooter rental, or there are bicycles to rent from the hostel. The kitchen is well equipped and clean and the bedrooms were cleaned daily. Great time had at nomad house.

I recently stayed at this property, and overall the experience wasn’t great. To start with, I had made a single confirmed booking for five people, but on the day of areival, the owner/property manager told us that they don’t allow groups of more than four. This was confusing and frustrating, especially since the booking was clearly confirmed for five guests. Thankfully, this issue was somehow addressed when we reached the property, but the 5th bed was always uncertain and only confirmed whic...

Kevin the owner excels in hospitality and thrives in making customers his focus. He provides european kind of hospitality in an Indian environment. He listens and provides a conversation to all. His employees are mostly very hardworking like Kevin. Especially Santosh standsout as person who would never say no to anything. I recommend anyone to experience nomad hostel and enjoy some of the group activites

Best hostel ever ! The place is clean, colorful and welcoming. There is a kitchen if you want to cook yourself breakfast, and some tea/purified water at disposal. Plenty of space to chill and a very nice rooftop. Kevin, the owner, is such a great and thoughful host. He gave me so many good advice and even collected a parcel for me in my absence. That is what we can call dedication ! The vibe is chill and friendly (and so is Poppy the owner’s dog). I loved my stay here, 100% recommended ✨

Kevin is a great host, however one thing that bothered me with the rooms was the one common washroom among ~14 beds despite booking a 4 bed dorm. You have to walk through a dorm to get to your room, and the dorm room was quite small. The upper dorm was really close to the fan and it's potentially dangerous to the one sleeping above.

Solid hostel in pondicherry for a short stay. Location is a bit out of the way & rooms/facilities a bit basic - but no big red flags and more than fine for short stay in the city if you’re ok with walking

Awesome, really enjoyed my stay. The hostel is really nice and kept very clean. I want to extend a special thanks to the owner Kevin who was really helpful, encouraging and patient with all my questions; it was my second week in India and he really helped explain a lot of social, cultural, and political issues.

The place was one of the cleanest hostel I’ve visited. Moreover, the place was fun and the host is also a great guy with team of really nice people working there. I had a fun time staying there and partying on their common area. About area, Promenade beach is around 2 km so you can visit easily in 5 minutes with scooter, I also took bicycle the other day with which it took around 10 minutes as well. I would definitely recommend the place for stay if you’re traveling solo or with friends to P...
