Unpack Hostel

Kavya’s and Ronak hostel is one of those places where you feel right at home. I arrived as a first stop in India, and Ronak was super helpful with all the information he provided before and during my stay, even for the rest of places I will be visiting in India. He also became a friend, since we spent much time having great talks and playing cards and board games with many of the other guests! The rooms are clean and the hostel will provide you with everything you need, rooftop, area to socialize and chill, laundry, renting scooters… The ambience and vibe is just perfect, and I can truly say I leave this place with great memories.

Met new people as it's a weekday as well. It was a wholesome experience, I was really happy that made my mind free enough.The meet up area in the top floor is a vibe experience. You could ask for any support to Kevin, he is always available there. My take with the trip was to set me free enough and enjoy and I had the best time out there. It's my choice next time when I visit pondy.
