Zostel Kochi (Fort Kochi)

1. Located in an inner corner in a narrow lane. It's a bit far from the central Fort Kochi area when compared to other accomadations but within walkable distance. Also it's right in the middle of a proper residential area. 2. No power backup and frequent power cuts happen throughout the day. Also in the dorms, the ply points don't work half of the time as they keep switching off the power source for it. 3. Only the female dorm was available when I was booking and it's a small, pokey room and six sharing which is way too crowded. Also the bathroom is tiny and pokey! 4. They have not maintained the place up-to-the-mark. Looksru down, dark and dingy. Also the cafe was closed for renovations! so apart from water, nothing else is available here. I have stayed in quite a few hostels including other zostel hostels but this is a total let down. Given this is off-season but there's not hostel vibe to this place, it's dull and boring! I was supposed to stay 2 nights but have decided to check out the next day itself!! Very disappointed with this place.

This was our first time in zostel truly speaking this place will only suit for those travelling alone recommended for boys only. For women there is no privacy as it is shared space keeping in mind we were group of 5 we booked 5 bunk beds and the 6th bed was given to someone else. We were not very comfortable . Although again as this was first time The property was managed very well by the owner so 5 star for that personally i dont think i will stay in such spaces however i will recommend this space to solo travellers

the washrooms were so dirty and we were given the washrooms of the common area on the floor above and it was so dirty. when asked the staff to clean they said they can't help much because those are common washrooms. even a petrol pump's washrooms are cleaner than what i experienced there.

The dormitory I stayed in was surprisingly comfortable, with sturdy bunk beds and ample storage space for my belongings. The vibrant decor and cozy common areas provided the perfect backdrop for meeting fellow travelers and sharing stories of our adventures.
