The Hostel Stories, Varkala - Helipad Road in Varkala provides adults-only accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. First of all i want to say thank you so much to the host ' Pintu Bhaiya' who has made this small hostel like home & the same was reflected during my stay. Before planning a trip to Varkala i did a lot of research and was skeptical travelling alone to new location, but he helped me with everything from cafe recommendations to scooty bookings making my stay memorable. Don't miss sunset walks :) I know i will be back at my this home soon.

The staff were lovely and helpful.
