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

I really enjoyed my overall experience at Santa Maria Hostel. I received a warm welcome from Diljith, who was very kind and shared lots of helpful information about the area. The atmosphere was great, with cosy evenings full of music, laughter, and interesting conversations with other travellers. The breakfast was simple but good, and I felt very comfortable and safe throughout my whole stay as a solo female traveller. The location is ideal, and the hostel is full of art and murals, making it a lovely place, especially for creative souls. Overall it was a very warm and memorable experience that I would definitely recommend.

I’ve been a frequent visitor to Santa Maria in Kovalam, so I had high expectations for my first stay at their Fort Kochi location. It definitely didn't disappoint! The atmosphere is fantastic, and the consistency in service makes it an easy choice to come back to. A huge thanks to Diljith—he is a great guy and made the experience even better with his hospitality. I’ll definitely be choosing this spot again next time I'm in town

I really loved the experience of staying in Santa Maria. This was my first time staying at a hostel and hosts at Santa Maria made it the best by suggesting us a lot of places and food spots around fort kochi. It is also very affordable. For the price of the stay they even provide a complementary breakfast which was amazing. Overall the stay and the hosts were amazing.
