Santa Maria Hostel Cochin

Staff is really nice. So is decoration. Otherwise this is a PARTY PLACE - good if you are tipsy but not for sober people. -- the music downstairs is loud even at 1 a.m. -- people come back to the room from partying downstairs any time, being drunk, they will turn on the light at 3 a.m. etc -- my bed had no curtain -- the beds are made of metal and climbing up is a bit like climbing up in a ship facility, it's a bit of a task even for a fit person -- doors (outside and to the bathroom) are loud when open / closed. No door handle inside on the room door -- outstanding amount of mosquitos! Recommended only if you are looking for party company. Then it's nice. Otherwise good sleep or ambiance is not guaranteed

Location is really good. You can walk to aspi wall and other bien venues. Vibe is also great as its mostly backpackers. Jenny is great host. Only con is in the private ac room, washroom window is not covered. Please cover that else everything is good. Also, on 2 floor, wifi connectivity wasnt great as well.

The service is honestly very WEIRD. It was a cultural shock. The staff is not helpful at all. You do not get any locks for your room, storage bins, no hot water. Your safety only depends on if the travellers you are sharung your room with are good people. The bathrooms are super cramped aswell. But if you are tight on budget, it wont be the WORST option. Its an interesting experience.

Very good location and very nice staff. They even provide breakfast, big rooms and nice decoratin but…. There is a big problem with mold! The smell is terrbile… u cannot breath that kind of air and it is not healthy… no matter for how long u keep the AC open.. the mold is in the walls and then will be in your lungs! Be careful!

Santa Maria is an ideal option to stay im fort kochi - budget friendly - city centric (fort kochi) - offers bicycles and two wheelers on rent - complimentry breakfast - common area with games, instruments, books Jenny was very humble and sweet throughout my stay. A special mention to Ajay who was very helpful and approachable whenever I needed something.
