Santa Maria Hostel Kovalam

Very lovely atmosphere....staff friendly and helpful....Great location....

My second time in the hostel Everything perfect Location very near the beach,, nice and clean room, Good included breakfast, and the kitchen very good also But the most important is the team that work there Rahul and Aneesh, very friendly , and helpful,, thank I will be back soon

Very friendly people

Loud speaking during the night in the reception room There was no room in the bathroom for my toiletries.

You can see the beach and waves from the hostel. Reaching there is just one minute on foot.

The property was severely understaffed. Only one person was managing everything, from check-ins to cleaning. Although he was really sweet natured and helpful, so no complaints there. Would have loved a little more buzz in the place.

Ram, who was running the hostel, was fantastic. I visited in early September before the hostel was really in its peak season so there was only one other guest who I didn't see, but Ram made the stay memorable. Giving me recommendations for activities to do based on what I enjoyed, and for restaurants in the area. We had some great conversations as well and I learnt a good amount about India and Kerala whilst discussing with him about England as well. The location is perfect, set back just a little from the beach so it's quiet in the evening which was ideal. Thank you Ram!

Rooms are a little basic but for the price its great value for money, I'd recommend this place!

Just go for it, no hesitation. You are in for the best time. I have to give a massive thanks to Brother Ram, who helped us with absolutely everything he could. Also, huge thanks to Diljit for such a warm and friendly welcome. one of the best hostels ever.

The staff is very kind and generous
