Kulture KonnectT

Varkala

All units in the hostel are fitted with a kettle. All rooms have a private bathroom with a shower, while some rooms also offer a balcony and others also have garden views. All guest rooms feature bed linen. Kulture KonnectT hostel seems to be a brand new hostel. Staff and vibe: Hostel staff was very friendly. General vibe of the hostel was great. All local and international travelers were hanging out together: exercising on the rooftop terrace, having dinner, playing games or discussing different things. Location: Hostel is located in one of the tiny hidden quiet street, very close to the main road, shops, pharmacy, café and restaurants, public transportation. Everything what needed for comfortable living was around 5-10 minutes of walking distance from the hostel. Beach: It took around 25 minutes to walk to the Black sand beach and 35-45 minutes to the Varkala beach. Bedroom: I was provided lower bed as requested. Shared bathroom with shower and toilet was in the bedroom. There are lockers under each bunk bed to keep personal belongings in safety, just bring your own lock! Kitchen: There is a large kitchen with everything needed for cooking own meal. Separate thanks for the electric kettle for tea-monsters like me. Dining room: Dining room looked like a large room in booking.com pictures, but in reality it was small, I would say compact. There is a filtered drinking water in the dining room. Terrace: It was amazing that hostel has several terraces on different levels. It’s possible to read book, sunbathe or hang out with other travelers on the terrace. Gym: There is a gym equipment on the terrace with jungle view. Cleaning issues: Dining table was messy all the time and nobody from the staff cared about that. Bathroom floor was always wet despite the rules posted everywhere. Wi-Fi: Free wi-fi worked well everywhere in the hostel. Overall, everything was great, safe and fun in the hostel. Hostel is the same as in booking.com pictures. I can recommend Kulture KonnectT hostel for everyone.
