I had such a wonderful stay at Time Traveller Hostel! The place has such a cozy and welcoming vibe, with kind-hearted people all around who make you feel right at home. The pool is a perfect spot to relax and unwind after exploring, and the friendly pets add so much joy and warmth to the atmosphere. It’s more than just a hostel—it’s a place filled with good energy, great company, and unforgettable memories. I’d definitely love to come back again! 🌟

Unearth hostel is just one in his kind. First of all, this hostel is great located! There are nice restaurants around, it has all the benefits of being in Auroville, but the ground isn't part of it. The building is absolutely beautiful and well designed. There are a lot of common spaces with beds to chill on, a huge roof terrace with activities going on like dance classes, yoga and drumcircels and a kitchen to use for cooking. There is drinking water aswell to take for free! I can't say a lot about the private rooms, but the dorm covered all my needs. (International) electricity plugs, night lamps, lockers, ven, optional airco... Everything well thought about! Than the best part: The Vibe! This hostel feels like your home away from home! With a good mixture of nationalities and types of travellers, this place functions as a big family. People take a lot of care of eachother (I can tell, as I broke my foot and ended up staying here for some weeks), and with Prerit as the head of this family, nothing can go wrong. He functions like a father, gives you advise, helps you out, organises things like scooters, and creates an open, friendly vibe everyone fits in. I will never forget the endless conversations at the bonfire, exchanging cultures, music, food and humor. If you search for cozy but spacious HOME, this is your spot. Just be carefull.... You might stay here longer than expected!

It was truly a memorable experience. The vibe of the place is very peaceful and deeply connected with nature. A big shoutout to Raj, the host — he made me feel right at home and was always helpful and friendly. There were some jamming events going on in the evenings. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location is perfect — right on the main road, close to all the cafes. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Auroville! 🙌

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.
