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.

Everything was amazing. The hosts were super welcoming and hospitable. You can rent vehicles directly from the hostel, there are several plug points in the hostel, there is a functioning kitchen for those who prefer to cook their own meals, the rooms are clean,etc. I personally found the hostel safe as a solo traveller.

Ostel In

Absolutely Delightful Experience staying at OSTEL! The vibe is unmatched! The staff is friendly and helpful. Dinesh, JP, Anil make you feel at home with their hospitality and warmth. The inhouse cafe has good food. Need a cafe on the rooftop as well ! The place was exceptionally clean, given the fact it's right next to the beach and covered with trees on all sides and is a backpackers hostel. Just request the owners of the property to privatize the beach patch right in front. That would make the property a 20/10.

Ostel is a backpacker's dream come true, offering an ideal blend of affordability and luxury. Their dorm options cater perfectly to the wandering soul, providing a cozy and communal atmosphere for fellow travelers to connect and share stories. Despite the budget-friendly rates

Before being in this hostel, I was in another 2,5 km from the center but this one was really well situated, in the main active center of Pondichéry (that's not what said google when I followed the 'distance to center', if only I knew it before 😥). The dormitory was quite large with a balcony, a kitchen to share, all really clean. It's like a house with huge spaces recently renovated, really really nice ! And the welcome is warm. It was a really good surprise for this price !

Micasa hostels - my first solo trip hostel and boy am I glad i picked this place. Very safe and well connected, it's walkable distance from all cute cafes of pondi. Hosts Sam and Sandeep very friendly , they helped me with everything - bike rents, places to visit etc. Hostel is very well maintained, clean. Washrooms are constantly being cleaned by their staff. I would definitely recommend this hostel to others and especially solo traveling females.

Loved the stay as it was the first time for me to stay in a hostel. Loved the people and played games with random people... Loved the place. Should definitely choose this to stay if you are very open to meet new people and explore new options while traveling
