Passable

Good location but need to improve the food and services

The property was very clean

The food at cafe was overpriced. Not worth the money at all. The staff at reception is very immature and careless.

Soul the experience

I loved the people who managed it and the vibe around the soul best after parties are done here They have all the infor.ation and staff from arrival to depart just talk to them for any suggest. Special mention to the volunteers @yousuf and the property managers for making may stay fun and engaging Also.the cafe inside the soul must try prawns Tawa fry just ask for @aneesh bro the best cafe host he is always there and will always give the best suggestions and things to try. Also have to mention about the managing staff at the cafe @ajay he is very good at his job with a lot of patience

I would suggest they could improve on much better dorm infrastructure as i stayed there Please include reading.lights and proper bedsheets

Nice place located in an happening part of Varkala

Being a hostel, the place is young and vibrant. It has a good vibe and the property is quite big too. The plus point is, it lies right next to the beach, so one can just walk for a couple of minutes and go for a swim. We choose the biggest room available, so it was just as shown in the pictures and had a small balcony to relax. Overall, it felt like a safe and a good place to stay.

The food in general was low on quality. The breakfast was frankly quite ordinary and the place didn't have much variety. Though you will find a huge number of cafes right outside in the vicinity, to make up for the ordinary food. It didn't bother us much as we skipped eating at the restaurant besides the breakfast on the first morning.

Bad

it was a pathetic experience at soul varkala. unable to connect with soul

I had only like the color combination they used in the property.

this property doesn't give good vibes, room has so much negativity rather they have been in the middle of greenery, their were no proper ventilation in room, if you open door and curtains you gonna loose your privacy, above all A.C. was not working whole night it was tripping off. I was unable to connect with my soul besides they have their property name soul. kindly refrain from booking here as you will lost your privacy they have cafe in front of your room. you can't open room windows, unflur curtains and you can't even sit in the balcony as it also faces towards that cafe.
