Back Packers Cochin Villa, hotel in Cochin

Located in Cochin, 35 km from Kochi Biennale, Back Packers Cochin Villa provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

The stay was not comfortable. Felt like jail and the property owner as jailer Keep on watching you , it was horrible ! There was no hot water, and the AC and geyser were often turned off. The geyser only worked for 2 hours in the morning, and the AC was not always on. When I asked about it, they said, "You get what you pay for, manage with cold water." The location is far from the city, and there are no restaurants nearby. You need to take a taxi to get food. Overall, it felt more like staying in a hostel with no comfort.

Kampify Kochi is nothing short of extraordinary, offering a seamless blend of natural beauty, adventure, and unmatched hospitality.

Zostel Kochi (Ernakulam), hotel in Cochin

Situated in Ernakulam, 14 km from Kochi Biennale, Zostel Kochi (Ernakulam) features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant.

I liked everything about the property, from the comfort, staff, cleanliness, approach etc. Personally, I liked Mr Deepak and his extra ordinary hospitality service which is required in this kind of consumer business. He understood my needs, situation and helped me within professional limits and personal capacity. The cooking staff ensured, I feel satisfied after dining. Especially, i enjoyed the Biryani on Sunday’s and the way they took care of the food Every staff member was quite caring and helpful

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The location was perfect, a 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk from airport. The staff were friendly and organised a taxi to the airport for us at 3am, they were also communicative over WhatsApp when needed. The room itself was fine, had air conditioning and was a good size for two people for one night looking for a cheap stay near the airport.

    Good location, good staffs. When I reached to the hostel, they wanted to suggest me another option of the lower bunk bed in another mix dormitory(Ⅰbooked 1 Lady dorm but already occupied lower bunk beds). More over, after arguing with other inns, when I was suddenly told that I wanted to come back here, I was warmly welcomed immediately.
