At the hostel, rooms include a desk and a balcony with a mountain view. Every room is fitted with a safety deposit box and certain rooms have river views. At Crossroads Hostel 1957 all rooms come with a wardrobe and a flat-screen TV. Clean, comfortable, great get- away- from- everything location. The best staff! Meals on-site were delicious, too, and there's a hammock and a dog. It's not a vibing backpacker hostel, but I really enjoyed my stay here

Abdul helped me organize an inexpensive rickshaw to the airport. Try to eat a meal at the hostel. Abdul's wife is a wonderful cook and you're sure to enjoy it! It is also possible to get in to Kochi from Aluva by metro. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and would use it as a place to explore the surrounding area.
