The bed was very good and comfortable, the room was spacious, everything was very clean, and the best part was the shower! It’s the best shower I’ve ever had in a hostel, and it even has hot water. The location is also good, as it’s at a higher altitude and a bit away from the center, so it’s very quiet and peaceful. It was totally worth staying there to visit Munnar. Highly recommended!
