Funk monk Villa hostel PONDICHERRY

The dorm was super clean and comfortable with AC, hot water and wifi for an amazing price - the ac did not work the first day so they moved me to a private room with ac and fixed the ac in the dorm the next day! I was travelling in the off season so there were no other female solo travellers in my dorm however this meant I had it all to myself, I was meant to stay for 3 days only but I really liked the property and felt very safe here so I extended one more before having to leave. The staff were extremely friendly and were there to help/ answer any questions all the time, also when the ac did not work the first night they were quick to have a resolution, additionally any time they drove past me walking on the road they offered to drive me back to the hostel which was so kind:) And on the final day I was able to get a lift to pondicherry with one of the guys also! It is only 10/15 minutes walk to the visitor centre of auroville and there are many restaurants on the road nearby too and a little shop right on the corner of the hostel for quick snacks/ drinks etc. I really recommend this hostel and would definitely come again if I was back in the area - thank you guys for everything:)

Everything was good!

It s was really nice. I was feeling at home. Communs spaces are really nice and people who are working here really take care about you. It's close to the visitor center. Have a beautiful stay 😊

Our two-day stay at Funk Monk in Pondicherry was nothing short of amazing! The hostel was impeccably clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The service was top-notch, ensuring a hassle-free experience throughout our stay. What truly set Funk Monk apart was the incredibly friendly host, who went above and beyond to assist us—from recommending the best places to visit to making sure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a cozy, budget-friendly, and hospitable stay in Pondicherry, Funk Monk is the perfect choice!

They have the best terrace with lake views, amazing interrupted stargazing. Krishna and Ankush go beyond their ways to help guests, very thankful for that. The stay was very welcoming and chilled out. There are cats and dogs too for you to play with!!

Nothing major but small suggestions In the female dorm, my bed was creaking maybe it will disturb other guests. Mosquitos enter room from bathroom so something to be done about that

I've discovered a true haven! The attention to cleanliness is impressive, with staff and management alike dedicated to maintaining impeccable hygiene standards. They truly deliver on their promise, and I've never seen a cleaner establishment, even at twice the price. The breathtaking sunset views are an added bonus. The kitchen's spotlessness and commitment to serving only fresh, non-frozen food further elevate the experience.

Neat and clean ambience

Very welcoming staff and friendly. Will definitely visit again
