The attached balcony and terrace let you get fresh air without having to go outside, and even if you were to, rock beach is only a kilometre away.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Ostel is a backpacker's dream come true, offering an ideal blend of affordability and luxury. Their dorm options cater perfectly to the wandering soul, providing a cozy and communal atmosphere for fellow travelers to connect and share stories. Despite the budget-friendly rates

    Before being in this hostel, I was in another 2,5 km from the center but this one was really well situated, in the main active center of Pondichéry (that's not what said google when I followed the 'distance to center', if only I knew it before 😥). The dormitory was quite large with a balcony, a kitchen to share, all really clean. It's like a house with huge spaces recently renovated, really really nice ! And the welcome is warm. It was a really good surprise for this price !

    Micasa hostels - my first solo trip hostel and boy am I glad i picked this place. Very safe and well connected, it's walkable distance from all cute cafes of pondi. Hosts Sam and Sandeep very friendly , they helped me with everything - bike rents, places to visit etc. Hostel is very well maintained, clean. Washrooms are constantly being cleaned by their staff. I would definitely recommend this hostel to others and especially solo traveling females.

    Loved the stay as it was the first time for me to stay in a hostel. Loved the people and played games with random people... Loved the place. Should definitely choose this to stay if you are very open to meet new people and explore new options while traveling

    Great location, the apartment feels like home rather than just a typical room. It's very safe and secure. We asked for an early check-in and check-out, and Prashant arranged an alternative room for us at no extra cost. Thanks to him for organizing everything so smoothly. Highly recommended!

    The atmosphere was quite comfortable and the staff were welcoming. Their behaviour was more of a friend. It felt like home. Also, the other guests were quite hospitable. Best hostel for youth. The vibes were great. Best accommodation at cheap rates in Pondy. I would like to visit again.
