    Big hostal in Auroville and great location near first entry point. Staff there all the time ready to help or advise points of interest.So much space in common areas with lots of lounging beds on various floors and games to play.Some activities planned for some evenings.Small kitchen area with drinking water available. Dorm beds with curtains,charger and light.All clean linen. Definitely worth a visit at such a good cheap price.

    Great room, great mood. I never felt at home like at Time Travellers hostel, thanks to the staff, the volunteers and the many backpackers staying here. The bonfire is a must every night! Ah, it's right in front of Auroville's main gate.

    I loved my stay at Funk Monk Hostel! I felt so comfortable day in, day out. Everything is so neat & clean like I haven’t experienced it before in whole India. The location is situated in a very calm environment just 5 min away from the visitor center by bicycle which made us sleep so well. Apart from that, the owner Krishna is a very helpful guy and has many tips to offer about what to do in Auroville. The food in the hostel is tasty and cheap. Would definitely come back, if was here another time! :)

    One of the best hostels to ever exist. The vibe of the place is just so vibrant and calming at the same time. Perfect place to relax and meet interesting people. Host and staff are just amazing, super friendly and so helpful. The rooftop cafe-Gaia's cafeis like the cherry on the cake. The cool host of the cafe is "Dosa" the cat 🐱 who ll keep you entertained. 11/10 highly recommended.

    Wonderful hostel with a large and cozy rooftop where you can play with their cat, do yoga, meet new friends, work online or appreciate both sunrise and sunset. 🌅 The place is surrounded by beautiful nature and you can also enjoy the peaceful mango tree garden. Delicious dishes are made with love by the friendly, local staff. Dormitory is confortable enough and clean. I highly recommend woodpacker and I will be back for sure. 🌸
