    Exceptional Hospitality and Cozy Atmosphere

    They went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience for all guests. the cozy atmosphere and social vibe made it easy to connect with other travellers and feel right at home. One area for improvement could be expanding the menu options for breakfast to cater to different dietary preferences.

    This hotel certainly has some fantastic vibes and the most welcoming hosts you could ask for! the location is super convenient, just a short stroll from the coastline and close to various shops and transport options. With a chill atmosphere and clean, cozy rooms, it's a great spot if you're looking for a peaceful stay. the hostel's staff are incredibly friendly and always ready to help guests plan their activities or arrange bookings. the common area is a lovely space to relax, and the affordable cafe on-site is a bonus. the strong wifi is a huge plus, allowing you to stay connected with no issues.

    The prices during peak seasons can be on the higher side, so keep an eye on that when planning your stay. It would be beneficial if the hotel considers installing backup generators to manage power outages more effectively, especially during hot weather.

    i loved the welcoming vibe created by vikash and karthik, who were always ready to assist with surf lessons and kayaking arrangements. the proximity to a scenic cliff and the delicious omelettes made my stay even more enjoyable. the shared spaces and cute puppies added to the charm of this hostel. Cons: nothing for me! ✨.
