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.

Popular points of interest near the accommodation include Varkala Beach, Varkala Cliff and Janardhanaswamy Temple. Thiruvananthapuram International Airport is 40 km away. Fabulous! This has to be one of the best, if not the best, hostel that I stayed in during my travels. I do not know where to begin in terms of describing just how amazing my overall experience was. The hostel is only a month or so old so everything is, as one would expect, brand new. Setback from the road you're away from the noise and traffic and yet still only a 5minute walk to the bustling cliff area. The dorm rooms are a good size with comfy beds, privacy curtains and individual lockers. The whole place is spotlessly clean. There's a lovely chill out area upstairs with a well appointed kitchen where you can either cook for yourself or buy a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner for around RPS150. The garden is a delight to sit in and isn't really overlooked either. What makes this place complete are the brilliant team; huge thanks to Vikram and Pintu who made me feel so welcome and provided so much fun and laughter. Book it now before it's too late!

Situated just 600 metres from Fort Kochi Beach, SeaCoast Inn FortKochi offers accommodation in Fort Kochi with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as full-day security. This bed and breakfast features free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. I had an absolutely terrific stay at Sea Coast Inn. I stayed at the property for an entire week and it exceeded any expectations I had - its a beautiful property from the lobby, to the rooms, to the rooftop terrace. Absolutely no hygiene concerns. Everything is so well maintained and the owner and staff are very attentive that a boutique hotel such as this one trumps the experience of any larger chain hotel in my experience. The location is ideal and very central and close to many cultural activities, āyurvedic centers, cafes, restaurants etc. The breakfast is also exceptional, so I would recommend opting in for that. The owner is very passionate about the property and cares about his guests and their experience. Cannot praise the property enough!

Review for Homestay in Fort Kochi I had an excellent stay at this homestay in Fort Kochi. The host Sheetal was incredibly helpful, providing great recommendations for sightseeing, shopping, and even arranging a cab, which made my trip hassle-free. The warm and welcoming atmosphere truly made it feel like a home away from home. The location is another highlight—it’s conveniently close to all the main attractions in Fort Kochi, making it easy to explore the area. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located stay with a touch of local hospitality.

Boasting quiet street views, Abhi's cafe avaduthura kovalam features accommodation with a terrace, around 13 km from Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple. The property is around 16 km from Napier Museum, 1.2 km from Vizhinjam Marine Aquarium and 1.1 km from Vizhinjam Lighthouse. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and Kovalam Beach is 700 metres away. My stay at Abhi’s exceeded my expectations and I was given a very warm welcome and shown to my room which was huge with big windows, cool fans and air conditioning which I rarely used as there was a nice cross breeze with the windows open. I liked that there were tea or coffee making facilities in my room and a small fridge. I felt very safe there and no request was ever too much. The cafe is lovely, very welcoming and accommodating. The breakfasts were the best homemade Indian breakfasts! Mani was always with a smile! Loved the homey feel of this place and the cafe was always very busy so word is out the food is fab! Cute little finches and sweet dogs as well! Can’t wait to return!
