Santa Maria Hostel Kovalam

Nice and good, helping, nice service 💯

Excellent place for a perfect weekend relaxing moment. Just near to the beach and excellent vibe and happiness. Especially Mr. Diljith, the manager is such a good personality and helped me in all my inhouse needs and explaining about the must visit places and things to do in Kovalam beach. Highly recommended!!

Good place Location very near to beach Diljith has taken care of everything, the hospitality is the best in this hotel.

My recent stay at Santa Maria was absolutely wonderful. The highlight of the experience was the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Their warm hospitality made me feel right at home, and they were always willing to assist with anything I needed. The property itself is ideally located, just a stone’s throw from the beach, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. The rooms were clean, and well-maintained, offering a comfortable and peaceful stay. I also loved the complimentary breakfast—it was a great way to start the day with delicious and fresh options. The overall ambiance of the property, combined with the attentive service, made my stay truly memorable.

I loved the Indian breakfasts. When Diljit (the Manager) makes chickpea curry. That was SO GOOD! That was the best chickpea curry I have ever eaten! I also liked the hostel because it has a very clean spacious nice well equpped kitchen on the top floor - the roof floor. So I could go buy fish to the nearby very pittoresque fishmen village called Vizhinjam in the early morning and then I cooked it myself. That was top! I also made myself pancakes! It is so nice to have a nice kitchen. And a fridge. And a cast iron pan! They also have a washing machine, so I could wash my clothes. That was a plus. The female dorm room is not big, but it has a little balcony so it remains airy. The bathroom was super clean. Also bed sheets were clean and nice smelling. The location could not be better as it is 1 min walk to the Kovalam Beach, the main beach. So you can walk there bare feet. The hostel also has a big roof top veranda - a covered space, green - has a shade from nearby tall trees, from there you can see the sea and enjoy the breeze. Birds, crows will come to see if you have some food for them. They are like hostel pets! They almost eat from your hand! It is like a Bird Zoo!

I liked everything.

The staff is amazingly kind, ready to help you with anything you need . They even booked my train ticket,so I didn't have to go to an agency or pay any extras.. It has a nice terrace for chill out and a fully equipped kitchen to use.. The place is situated just a few seconds walk to the beach.. Next to it everything is available.. Definitely coming back..

All good
