The hostel was spotless, spacious, and had stunning areas overlooking the ocean, where you could relax to the sound of waves. The location was ideal—just 15-20 minutes from both Pondicherry and Auroville cafes and Matrimandir with scooties available right at the hostel gate. The managers, Dinesh, Diya, and Anil, were exceptionally warm, welcoming and attentive, offering great recommendations and organizing fun games and activities. The food service was very prompt with healthy and tasty options. The crowd was interesting and engaging, making my solo travel experience even more memorable.
