Mellow Hostel

The place is beautiful! Done by an architect - designer. Very well designed, it felt like a sanctuary-resort feng shui perfect, color theory perfect, very high vibrational place. I stayed long. If you are there during the monsoon season, you might get the whole place for yourself, just like I did. And I enjoyed it a lot! I liked the colors. They used a very beautiful green for the wood parts and the metal parts. And then a pastel orange for the walls that turns cold pink with the early morning light and in late afternoon it turns into warm hot orange yellow color with the late afternoon sun. All front facade is glass There is an old orchard on one side with big old trees, like a thick jungle and you see and hear a lot of birds, even a peacock from time to time. Also monkeys came a few times. There is a colorful tempel right next to it and you can hear tempel chanting and music in the morning. There is Juicy Cafe right accross the street. I recommend hot crispy vade at 6 am, right when it comes out of the frying pan and then again at 2 pm if you are lucky, you get to taste their banana bandas with 28 ingredients. Special! Also the bistro at Mellow is TOP! When they make homemade chocolate cakes, you will not be able to stop yoursel from running downstairs and get some. Same for the coffee, they have a top quality coffee that smells and tastes divine. I also recommend chicken with potatoes! Smells divine when they make it! The place is kept very clean and all the staff is very friendly. If you want to go surfing in the morning, many guest come also for that to Mellow as the Surf School Shop is attached to Mellow. You might get company! And there is a motorbike rental right in front. Very convenient! The beach and the cliff are only 10 min walk away. Internet connection is great, too. All rooms have AC. I do recommend you this place! 10 out of 10!

I and my aunt stayed here for two days and the experience was one of the best we've ever had! Excellent rooms, staff, manager was sweet, the price per night was really very reasonable. All in all, a fabulous experience! Definitely worth every penny we put in!

GOOD HOSTEL FOR FEMALE TRAVELERS. I'll keep it short. Location = 5 mins walk from beach, cafe on the ground floor Ambience = low lights and very peaceful and quiet (you won't be spending that much time in the hostel anyways) Cleanliness = quite clean, well maintained, clean washrooms (they have a common shower area in the ground floor) Expense = very economical especially if you're traveling solo and plan to stay for a longer period of time

The staff in the hostel and in the restaurant is amazing, everyone was so kind and helpful! The rooms, besides being really dark even in the morning and noon are built beautifully. The place is overall pretty clean besides a few crawls I met occasionally in the shower and in the room. The ac works beautifully just be noticed that blankets that keep you warm at night are not provided. I had a bit of a less pleasant interaction with the security guard who begged me for money every night i came back to the hostel. Overall i had a very pleasant stay in Mellow, met some amazing girl friends and the fact that it was a female only hostel made me feel really safe.

Our stay in Varkala was literally amazing and filled with so much peace. Every corner of the space felt calm, comforting, and truly like home. We enjoyed the slow mornings, quiet moments, and the overall soothing vibe of the place. It was the kind of stay where you instantly feel relaxed and welcomed. A perfect escape to unwind and simply be ! Loved it soo much 🤎🤎🤎
