    Staff were cordial and food was good. Best part was they maintain silence which created a good ambience.

    the bunkbed can be better, please upgrade bunkbeds maybe to wooden or even more stronger metal. it looks weak and i slept on the upper portion. So getting up and down was hassle due to the model of the bunkbed. Please change bunkbeds.

    The air conditioning and the bathrooms were really good. Staff is friendly and i see dogs in the room which i loved. it is pet friendly

    I think for the price, I would get better value.

    Good Hostel. Close to the metro from the train station. Could be better signed from the main road or even the road its on. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The beds were a bit firm but not a deal breaker. Staff are a bit anal about the aircon times. Only from 7pm to 7am. I think they should make it till 8 to 8. Kitchen was very clean. Cooked some eggs up before a bit day of travel. Nice chai too. I did my own laundry. Plenty of space to hang up clothes on the roof. The animals are great too. Couple of dogs. Couple of cats. So lovely.

    The Snoring Room should have been different. Couldn't sleep at night because 2 dudes, made a competition of who's gonna snore the loudest.😂

    The Staff is amazing. Very Helpful and Kind. They have 8 or 9 cats, that are just there, like they own the place (they do own the place). The Location is pretty near to Airport and Bus Station. Rooms are big, and washroom even bigger. Great place to stay a night and moving on to your journey.

    This hostel made me feel so very welcome and it felt wonderful because these were my very first days in India. The hostel staff was amazing as well as the guests. The cook makes really nice and yummy food. The neighborhood is nice too and there are many little shops and restaurants around. I would definitely come back again. Thank you for everything.

    The staff was nice and helpful. Close to the metro. A lot of friendly people. A bit tucked away from the main streets, so it was not as noisy as it can get in Chennai. A rooftop and a common area were you can relax.

    Politely service, i came a bit early but they still gave me a room early as it was available. Food and tea was available inside so it avoided the hassle of food hunting. They cleaned toilets and hall at regular intervals.

    The Hostel itself is a little bit difficult to find, but when you ask the local people around, they will help you. It’s close to a Metro Station, Little Mount. There are also a lot of shops, food stands and ATMs around. All the facilities where clean, the dorm was ok. It’s a hostel, so don’t expect a 5 star room;). The Staff is also nice and helpful, you can ask them everything and they will help you. I can definitely recommend this Hostel for a short stay in Chennai.

    The below can be useful. 1. Clear signage outside (especially to those who come in the dark) 2. White/colour wash to make it look more attractive. 3. A rack with leaflets about places of attraction and transportation, 4. Possible collaboration with a suitable travel services provider to arrange day-trips. 5. Informal surveys (through discussion) to ascertain the requirements of the travelers/hostelers.

    1. Human and genuine welcome by the team who are always available and prepared to help - Kishore, Jenish and Nayak (chef). 2. Proximity to 'Little Mount' metro station which is the easiest mode of transport to/from the Chennai airport and Chennai city centre, Egmore both of which have numerous ground transport facilities to the other parts of India. 3. Meals are available on request and the payment is to made upon consumption. Available hours are clearly stated. 4. Valuable items can be stored in the lockers available free of charge. 5. It is a safe, homely place to stay
