Cozy Stay Hostel

For this price in kormangala, this place is great. I stayed two days and had a good time. The rooms have shared bunk beds, and you can cook and wash clothes there. The bathrooms are clean, and there’s a private locker too.

It’s a new place, and a great backpacker hostel for both men and women. The caretackers look after you well and take care of your needs. It’s in a residential area, feels super comfortable, and you can cook in the kitchen. A really good place, I’d gladly return again and again.

Host Mr. Ram is humble, welcoming, and helpful. The surroundings are peaceful, with plenty of restaurants nearby. Rooms have four, six, or eight bunk beds, and everyone shares the hostel facilities. You get a personal cupboard for luggage and a small lockable drawer for valuables. The mattress is firm, and clean sheets, pillowcases, and a blanket are provided. Rooms and bathrooms are cleaned daily. There’s a water heater, and the AC is switched on only at night. Free Wi-Fi is available. The small basic kitchen, with a fridge, is open to everyone, and clean drinking water is provided. There’s a washing machine, though I guess it wasn’t working. Tip: mind your own business and respect other people’s privacy, and they’ll respect yours.

The owner, Suraj Shetti, is very helpful, cheerful, and ready to assist at any time. He speaks English, Kannada, Hindi, and maybe Telugu too. I met a few Europeans here, and they found the hostel safe and comfortable. The rooms, toilets, and bathrooms are kept very clean, with daily maintenance. Hot and cold water are available 24/7, and the bunk beds are comfortable and in extremely good condition, with clean bedsheets. It’s a peaceful place in a high class area of koramangala, and suitable for both Indian and foreign guests, men and women.
