I liked the proximity to the beach and a main road that lead to local restaurants, rickshaws, and fruit stands.

“Great hostel to enjoy Varkala while having peace and quiet away from the town centre”
Lovely hostel with a great atmosphere! Very nice outside area which is perfect to relax or socialise in. Loved the outdoor shower! Food from the kitchen was great - we ordered the dal fry. Decent walk to the centre but very close to the south beach which was great for a swim

Stayed in a non-AC room at Molly’s Hostel and it was incredibly comfortable thanks to the greenery and cool breeze across the spacious property, even during the day. The beach is a short walk away, and popular spots like Cafe Trip is Life, Cafe Sarwaa and Chimney Restaurant for authentic Kerala food are all nearby, making it super convenient to explore Varkala’s best cafes and local flavours. The hosts are genuinely friendly, helpful and welcoming, which adds a very homely and chill vibe to the place. Would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to solo travellers and backpackers.
