Funk monk Villa hostel PONDICHERRY

Fresh air in between village. Good location if you want peaceful outing. Good for introverts. Cleanliness. You and your luggage will be safe. Good location to explore whole Auroville. Temperatures are lesser than main city so comfortable. Staff is very helpful and supportive, always active. Anytime anything you want they'll provide you politely.

Far from city life and beaches. Disadvantage for extroverts. Not much good eateries nearby. Plugs/switches not working properly. Hard to find switches for lights and fans in dormitory. Cupboards not provided in dormitory but luggage remains safe.

Must stay place near auroville Best hostel near auroville Clean, calm and cutest Friendly atmosphere 😜 Prompt service Helpful host and staff Serenity view BEST SUNSET EVER SEEN WITH LAKE VIEW AND OTHER SIDE NON OTHER THEN MATRI MANDIR AUROVILLE THANKS TO Krishna and his team raju , abhishek and Santosh For always available A second peaceful home

The supportive staff. Raju and the owner were very supportive. They were receptive to suggestions and took good care of my needs.

The toilets were clean but there were no bathroom slippers available. The beds looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a while. There were hair strands from those who previously stayed. The bed was an open one with no screen or blinders to cover. So privacy was a concern. But the staff being very supportive, I'm certain they will take this feedback in the positive sense and make necessary changes.

The property is located near matri mandir with amazing sunset lake view. The host Krishna help me in all the ways for exploring auroviile. After visiting property I came to know they have good couple rooms next time I will stay with my partner for sure. All staff are so helpful they don't neglect what you require in service. Must stay place and Thankyou Funk Monk Team for making my trip so comfortable.

I had booked this hostel for 6 days. It is hardly 1 to 1.5km away from Visitor’s Centre. Room was clean and staff members were very polite and helpful. ☺️Host Mr. Krishna is a very kind man and suggested many good places to explore. Quite affordable. Good cafes are around. There is a fun activity room as well in the property to chill. Vibe of the property is so calm. ☺️

Had no single moment of complain in 6 days 😇

I spent 2 nights at Funk Monk hostel, in the female dorm, which was cozy and clean (doesn't get too hot inside). I was the only guest in the dorm, staff was very attentive and helpful. The place is close to the Auroville Visitor Centre and you can have an amazing pizza at Laxmee, which is walking distance. Wifi works fine and there is lockers in the dorms though I did not use them (a key is needed).

Raju, Ram and Krishna were all super helpful, friendly and attentive, offering suggestions and ideas and helping with anything they could. Great roof terrace space to watch sunset and rise or lightening storm in the distance. Also small shop with essentials, water, treats, etc., very close by. And ability to hire bicycle to get around Auroville (scooters available too).

Occasional AC issue, only a challenge as it was 36+ degrees in the day.
