😊 I spent 10 days at The Chill House, and it truly felt like a hidden gem in Fort Kochi. The moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and kindness that made me feel instantly at ease. The space was always clean, calm, and full of positive vibes — perfect for relaxing or meeting like-minded travelers. Every corner felt thoughtfully cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind. I’d return without a second thought.

Booked this property since we were in Fort Kochi for exactly 24 hours, most of which we planned to spend outdoors. On that front, it has a great location advantage. It is a short walking distance from the water metro terminal. Places we visited on foot from here: Princess Street, St. Francis Church, David Hall, Vasco Da Gama Square, Chinese Nets, MG Beach, Beach Walkway, Burgher St Cafes & Restaurants - Qissa, Kashi Art Cafe, Trouvaille, Lila Art Cafe, Seagulls Autos were easily available to go to Mattancherry side. The property was a good budget option and was safe, convenient, clean and functional for what we were expecting from a short stay.

The location, and everything the property has to offer, the proximity to the lake, and the backyard view of the fishing nets. The shared spaces, and cozy nooks, and the exceptional hospitality, all made the stay an amazing and relaxing experience.

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Good location, good staffs. When I reached to the hostel, they wanted to suggest me another option of the lower bunk bed in another mix dormitory(Ⅰbooked 1 Lady dorm but already occupied lower bunk beds). More over, after arguing with other inns, when I was suddenly told that I wanted to come back here, I was warmly welcomed immediately.
