I had a wonderful time in cochi and the hostel. Especially the staff was very helpful and friendly. I can definitively recommend the place to all those travelling on a budget and who want to meet other travellers and do trips around cochi. Thanks again for a great time

Loved this place! The staff were really friendly and helped us organise not only our accommodation but also our itinerary for our 5 days in Cochin. I recommend the elephants, waterfall and houseboat! Our room was very clean and the A/C was perfect for hiding from the sun during the afternoon! Perfect time for using the free wifi! If you... More

I zeroed in on Vedanta after a walk through examination of lodgings at Fort Kochi. About the place I can tell you that they offered a pleasant communal experience of Fort Kochi , staying there. I had a few minor quibbles about about the beds in dorms. Apart from that Vedanta offers the best economical stay at a strategical location... More

I had a wonderful time staying at Vedanta. In fact, I was only suppose to stay in Cochin for a couple of days but ended up extended my stay because I couldn't leave the hostel. In terms of amenities, Vedanta has a high standard, especially in comparison to many other hostels in India. The rooms, bathrooms and general areas are... More

Vedanta Wake Up is a one of a kind backpacker's experience in India! I stayed in the dormitory for over one month while studying and enjoyed the place, staff and atmosphere throughly. The rooms are spotless, and cleaned daily by one of the most friendly housekeepers you will meet, Shanti. Bathrooms have geysers and showers..no bucket baths here. There is... More

Stayed 2 nights at Vendanta, it's location is ideal with just a short walk to shops, bus stand & custom ferry. Rooms are clean and the staff are very helpful. Unfortunately, during our two nights stay there was some kind of problem with pipes/geyser which meant no hot water. Also realised on the Monday morning, when the kids returned to... More

Everything was clean and professional with free wifi working in my room. Had the whole room to myself even though there were 4 beds (probably because they're not too famous yet). Will definitely recommend to friends and stay there next time I'm in Kochi!

Great hostel, very clean, dorm rooms were a decent size and have lockers. Not much hot water, but you don't really want hot showers because of the weather. There is a lounge area, the staff are helpful and will organise any trips or activities that you want to do. I used this hostel as my base while in Kerela coming... More
