The hostel is at a good location on the North Cliff with all the cafés nearby and walkable. The food at the hostel cafe is good and the beach is right beside.

Absolutely amazing place

It was my first time staying in a hostel and honestly the best thing I’ve ever done. Super clean, affordable, great host, met some super cool people and I’m just sad that I couldn’t stay longer, but for sure I will be back!

The best part was definitely the location and vibe of the hostel. It's my first time staying at one, but I'm really excited to go for more! It's a great place to meet new people. People sit together, talk, dance, and generally just have a good time - it's a really fun way to explore.

Hope Hostel: Where Hope Turns Into Disappointment

These lost hostel guys won't return the money if you won't like the room and their service and they are good at stealing the people by charging too extra. Not understanding the meaning of basic service given to the customer so some lesson needs to be given to them for that.

Let me give you brutal honest review: The restrooms were clean, and the rooms were cleaned daily. The room itself was neat and the AC worked well, which made our stay comfortable. The hostel is located near Varkala Cliff just like it was shown in the photos, which was very convenient. During the stay, we also got the chance to meet and make friends with people from different countries, which was a nice experience. There is a small shop inside the hostel where you can buy tea, coffee, juice, Maggi, and other quick items. The prices are a bit expensive, but that is understandable since most shops around the cliff are overpriced due to the high rental costs vendors have to pay. If needed, you can easily go outside and find tea or coffee at much cheaper prices.

Hope hostel had a fantastic location right on top of the North Cliff. The ac worked fine and the wifi as well. Beautiful yoga shala with sea views was a highlight.
