Ostel In

We loved our stay in ostel, especially the deck. This property is the best to experience beach view

everything was good about this property… would recommend everyone

Loved the overall room size and the view from our room. We took a private room with sea view facing.

The staff is very welcoming and friendly also really had a fun time in all the events organised by the ostel in the evenings. The property is really clean and is the only property with such good access to the beach and very good areas to sit and just enjoy the beach. It is at very close to proximity to both the tourist destinations and the complete vibe of the hostel is really good also a good place for bachelors and families

I wasn't bored for a single minute! I came for 2 nights and stayed for 10. The location is straight out of your dreams - everyday the sky and the ocean together paint a new masterpiece for you to enjoy from the terrace, or shack or your own bed! The hosts go to great lengths to make you feel right at home. I made so many friends! We played together, sang together, danced together and sometimes just sat in silence together. And each moment was precious. Late into the quiet night, when the moon shines on the waves, and the fishing boats are milling about in the distance - you find peace. And if you're lucky, bioluminescence! Thank you, Ostel. Until next time.

Leaving :)

The property was very clean and the best part is they conduct activities to make sure we connect with other and socialise more. I would strongly recommend everyone to try this surreal experience

The maintenance!! It was super well maintained and had the perfect view of the beach.

Absolutely nothing. Loved everything about it.

Budget and ambitions

Bothroom

The stay was v pretty loved it there! Will definitely come again. Love how the beach looks from the property. The staff is so nice. The hospitality was great rooms were clean. The vibe was very nice. We write a turn on 10 must visit.

View off the back deck and roof was brilliant. The beds were very comfortable and the bathing facilities clean and spacious. The cafe on site made delicious food. The location was superb, being a few minutes walk from the main bus route to Chennai.

The AC in the bedroom was old and noisey. While the cafe was a positive, you had to order online yet there was no alert that your meal was ready. The dining area also didn't have AC and there wasn't an AC space to eat as all communal spaces were a "food free zone". The value for money is poor. It's a beautiful space, but at hotel prices.

Beach view

Internet cnnection was bad. House rules were strict

It was the worst property ever, the staff was super rude. We literally moved the hotel to some other one in next day

Nothing was there to like

Location and aesthetics were good , could be a little cheaper and match prices of hostels

could be little cheaper like aroumd 1000 rs

View

Food is limited

Its clean and the view is good the worth and it’s peaceful

Absolutely loved my stay here! From the moment I arrived, everything was perfect. The staff were incredibly warm, friendly, and always ready to help, making me feel right at home. The ambience is beautiful and relaxing truly a 10/10 experience. This place is perfect for a girls' trip, offering the right balance of comfort, safety, and great vibes. Every corner feels cozy and welcoming. I made some wonderful memories here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Can't wait to come back! 💕

Ostel is a perfect stay with the best rooms, the best overall architecture, the best facility, really good food, a very good crowd, engaging activities on most night, and very very very friendly volunteers and staff. it's always a pleasure coming back here whether it is a group trip or solo travel. absolute top-notch hospitality, quality of rooms, and service. totally worth the price.

the views are absolutely stunning, the best views possibly for a property just steps away from the beach

Comfy friendly people good service.

There is zero privacy in the sea facing rooms, people sitting on the deck kept staring at the room and the whole room is visible, the glass needs to be tinted and the screens are also see through. The glass and mesh window are not cleaned, there are bird droppings all over the glass which spoils the whole experience.

Ostel In was everything I needed on this trip: comfortable, relaxing, clean, fun :)) It's a great place to meet people in Pondi (including the staff, who are all amazing!) - would 100% recommend, and will 100% go back.

Hostel was amazing and has good view

It’s was great stay perfect location

Everything is perfect

Ostel was a wonderful place with a fantastic location. The service was excellent, and the overall vibe was really good. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend it.

The location is perfect—just a short walk from the beach, which made early morning surf sessions and sunset strolls effortless. After long and often exhausting hours in the water, it was always nice to come back to a clean, comfortable, and relaxing space. The hostel has all the amenities you need for a longer stay, and the atmosphere strikes a great balance between being social and peaceful. What really stood out was how easy and comfortable they made everyday living. Whether you're in town for surfing, remote work, or simply slowing down for a while, Ostel.in provides a great base. I arrived for a surf trip but left feeling like I'd found a second home. Highly recommended for anyone looking to stay close to the beach and enjoy a hassle-free, comfortable stay.

Excellent stay with good ambience

Food

The owner and workers were so kind and accommodating. I was easily able to extend my stay, the place is very new and clean. LocatYion is right next to the famous markets. I would recommend a scooter when staying at this location.

everything about the property it was good and very nice experience

sea view room is really good, the view especially!! Ostel premise is really nice, the seating area, the lounge, dining, the shack especially! It was a fun stay

The quality of bed needs to be improved for the premium room

This is my second time and it was as usual a perfect stay. Loved it ❤️

I stayed here for two night and everything went really well,staffs were sweet

All

Timings 24 should be

Clean place and helpful people.

Had such a great time at Ostel! Amazing views, the hosts/volunteers were super sweet and the food was delicious. Highly recommend! :)

It's such a cute cool stay with a beach view!!!

Everything about the property, staff, management and services everything was perfect!

Loved my stay so very much that I ended up extending my stay from 2 to 5 days. The hosts here are lovely. A huge shoutout to Aastha, Pavithra and Tara for being the best folks around! They were absolutely helpful. It felt like a home for 5 days! I’m definitely coming back here! Don’t miss this property! The view is immaculate and so are the people!

Huge shoutout to Aastha, Pavithra and Tara for making my stay so damn comfortable! Highly recommend you all check out their property! Thank you so very much for the great time! This has to be one of the best hostels that I have stayed in! Highly recommended!

They made me extend the stay! Solo traveler don't think twice😉

I loved the location of the property and the facilities they provided. You have such clean rooms and scenic views of the beaches from your room, it is just amazing. For me smoking was a concern but the property has designated smoking areas where you can smoke and enjoy the view and I really felt taken care of by everyone while I was staying here. I had such an amazing experience that I cancelled my flights back and extended my stay in Ostel (Ended up staying for an entire week here) and every single minute of it was absolutely worth it!

I absolutely loved the vibe of the property and more importantly the warmness of the staff. They were so so sweet and went out of their way to make sure that we were comfortable and anything we needed was provided to us. The beach-front views of the property were just the cherry on top and it was just perfect! I am gonna recommend Ostel to anyone who wants to visit Pondicherry in any month around the year.

Humble staff considerate about small requirements and very well kept property that gives a very homely warmth

I am so glad i chose Ostel for my first solo trip. Its very beginner friendly giving a cosy vibe. The staff is so helpful and considerate about your petite needs too.

Everything is perfect

Staying at ostel was easily one of the highlights of my time in Pondicherry. The property itself is fantastic—thoughtfully designed, clean, and perfectly situated to soak up the local vibe. The aesthetic is spot on—it’s stylish yet functional, making it a great spot for both solo travelers and groups. The real heart of this place is the hosting team. Aastha and Pavitra are absolute gems. They go above and beyond to make sure every guest feels settled and included. Whether it’s sharing the best local hidden spots or just being around for a great conversation, their warmth and hospitality truly set this place apart.

If you’re looking for a stay that feels personal and authentic, I can’t recommend ostel enough. Huge thanks to Aastha and Pavitra for being such incredible hosts!

The shack was amazing and whole place is very clean and staff are very good , the view and dorm everything is same as pictures and they have a good vibe...

Out of 5 days i didn't have wifi for 2 and half days in shack ...i loved the shack for a beach view and wasn't able to work feom there and it was very frustrating and informed staff atleast 8 time...but maybe it wasn't solvable quickly and 1 time thing. Alcohol not allowed is a bummer .

The ambience the host everything around it ! The view was exceptional !! She explained everything in a clear way!

Could have allowed us to eat inside room… we were hungry at night and didn’t want to go down and have food alone at the designated area so that alone they could change it ….

It’s very pretty u can just sit anywhere n chill have me time n the view from this property 🤦‍♀️

Honestly I loved everything

Great hospitality.. Tara is great and other staffs.

Loved my stay so very much that I ended up extending my stay. The hosts here are lovely. A huge shoutout to Tara and Aastha for being the best folks around! They were absolutely helpful. It felt like a home for 3 days! I’m definitely coming back here! Don’t miss this property! The view is immaculate and so are the people!

None. Everything was perfect, timely and clean!

People here are awesome! Took a solo trip they become very friendly.

The location, facilities, staff hospitality, ambience, budget friendly. Superb accommodation for groups especially.

Nothing

Très bel établissement sur la plage d''Auroville. Concept intéressant . Personnel dévouée et sympathique. Eau filtrée a disposition Magnifique piscine et espace détente donnant sur la plage.

Erreur dans l'attribution de ma chambre, on m'a prévenu 2h00 apres etre installée, me donnant le choix de changer ou de payer un surplus... je n'ai pas trouvé cela professionnel d'autant plus que l'hôtel était vide. Cuisine , fermée donc difficile pour avoir de quoi manger... Plage tres salle et peu propice a la baignade, dommage

nothing there to like. they charge separetly for every item we indent to use .

everthing. No parking. No laughing, charge for everthing such as swimging pool, play area etc.,, Dirty way to beach

The stay was amazing. Above our expectations. The property was clean and had many beautiful spots. The place was beautifully designed. The staffs were helpful and sweet.

Immaculate vibes, space and hospitality

None
