Hostel The Chill House  

June 25, 2025

Honestly, staying at The Chill House felt more like visiting a relative than staying in a dorm. From the moment I walked in, I was treated like family; so warm, welcoming, and genuine. As a solo traveler, that kind of connection meant everything.The whole vibe was super relaxed and friendly, and I felt right at home straight away. The place was very clean and spotless, comfortable, and had everything I needed. You can tell they really care about the little details.For a short stay in Fort Kochi, this was perfect, great people, great energy, and absolutely worth the price. I’d come back in a heartbeat and would recommend it to anyone, especially solo travelers looking for a homey spot to recharge.

I had an incredible stay at The Chill House — it truly lives up to its name! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and at home. Niaz, the host, is one of the kindest and most helpful people I’ve met while traveling. He went above and beyond to make sure every guest felt comfortable, offering great local tips, arranging transport, and even organizing social activities on the rooftop.The location is perfect — tucked away just enough to be peaceful, yet within easy walking distance to the beach, ferry, and all the charming spots around Fort Kochi. The hostel is spotless and thoughtfully designed, with both dormitories and private rooms available. This gives you the best of both worlds — a sociable hostel atmosphere if you're looking to meet fellow travelers, and the privacy and comfort of your own room if you're a more mature traveler or prefer a quieter stay.The beds were super comfy, the AC worked well, and each room had its own bathroom, which was a big plus. The rooftop area was a personal favorite — perfect for relaxing, doing yoga, or meeting other guests. Wi-Fi was strong and reliable, and the shared kitchen was great for cooking your own meals.Pro tip: If you're arriving by metro, get off at Elamkulam Station — it's the closest stop and only about a ₹50 auto ride to the ferry jetty that takes you straight to Fort Kochi.Whether you're traveling solo, with friends, or as a couple, The Chill House is a fantastic base to explore the best of Fort Kochi. I can’t recommend it enough and will definitely be back!

I was here for a week, and this place has gifted me some lovely memories. Niaz is a wonderful host, and the location is quite serene, with several cosy cafes nearby.Just a couple of things though: during peak season, the room can be quite congested. Could also put on curtains for privacy.

Friendly family. Good to meet other travellers. Good location near to places of interest and ferry.
