Comfortable and warm stay

aravind k.family with 1 kid

Our stay was very comfortable. We liked the place, very calm garden around, and our favourite was the heritage style furniture from the cot to the cupboard. The room was just enough for our family. And the hosts were also very helpful. Yogi was very welcoming and John was always ready for any assistance needed. And the location is just a 2 minute walk to Auroville's entrance.

Good for a short stay near Auroville

praveen m.solo

This review is for Dormitories Location is great, right next to Auroville visitor center. And if you are looking to a Dormitory, this is a good bargain. Though there are some drawbacks, particularly if you are staying for longer duration- dorm is basically a big hall partitioned into separatw enclosures by curtains. I was in a small space with 3 beds, where ideally the size was enough for 2 beds only. Also if you get a bed in middle of hall, it is dark, no sunlight. Another issue maybe noise. There is a restaurant right outside hall, which also acts as common room for backpackers late in the night. So if you want to sleep early, may be difficult with people talking.

Comfortable stay

ashfaqullah m.solo

Its a nice place to stay, dorms were comfortable and clean. A large room has been divided into compartments using mats which looks good. In my compartment there were only two beds They serve only organic vegan food tasty tough. Auroville is just 50 mts from there its totally value for money. I strongly recommend this place

Good room with bad location

srujan.solo

Best budget room with bad location. Far away from city centre. No transportation is observed after 6 pm. Food is purely veg and good but there are so many mosquitoes as the area is in forest. Sightseeing people can take as a chance but others be far away.
