Nomad House Pondicherry | Dorms & Wi-Fi

I stayed here for 4 days and my stay was nothing less than a nightmare. You need to take out your footwear at the entrance and you cannot wear slippers even to the washroom. Basic hygiene goes for a toss at this place as you don't have any other option than to roam around without slippers in the whole hostel. There is no basic hygiene maintained in the washroom and dorms. Rooms are very compact. There is no dedicated room for 4 bed or 8 bed dorms. All the dorms have a common room which share same washroom. 4 bed mixed dorm shares washroom with another 14 people. Staff behaviour is very rude especially the cleaning guy. He behaves in a very weird way and he talks in a very bossy manner. Caretaker doesn't know who is checking in and checking out and he is not responsive at all no matter how many times you call him up. Hostel is located at a very shabby place where drainage smell keeps on coming all the time. In conclusion, this hostel is not recommended at all. Please find a different place for your stay rather than ruining your vacation because of this place.

I literally loved this place. The ambience, the rooms, cleanliness was just perfect. The manager was really helpful. I would recommend all youngsters to stay here instead of expensive hotels. Got a room in Rs. 940 (per bed per night) through online booking. They even have board games and other games here. The location is just amazing. At walking distance, you can get scooty rental and also the main bus stop. White town is also just 2km which you can go using the tempo at just 10rs per person. Travel and accommodation became so cheap for us that we were easily able to spend extra money on food since it is a little expensive in White Town. If I ever visit pondicherry again, I wouldn't even think twice before booking this place again, just loved it!

The moment I entered Nomad House, I started getting positive vibes. The beds and bathrooms are well maintained and super clean. The hostel is just 5 minutes walk away from the Pondicherry bus station in a quiet, yet easily accessible area. I felt extremely safe here. The best part of Nomad house is a rooftop garden with two hammocks where you can chill-out and make new friends. Last but not least Kevin (Owner) is a gentleman. He is a calm, polite, and very helpful person I had a great time with him. Also, Puppy is very friendly and energetic, loved to play with her. Nomad House will be the only reason for me to travel back to Pondicherry in the future.

We had booked 4 mixed dorms and 2 female dorms, but when we checked in there only a 10 mixed dorm available. Also at the time of booking there is no mention of Ac/Non Ac room dorm, but it seems there are non ac rooms for mixed dorms. Another thing about the 10 mixed dorm is kind of a house and the hall is changed to a 10 bed room, so there is no privacy as such since its situated in a pathway to other rooms. Also, there is only 1 common bathroom to use for 10 bed room and another 4 bed room.
