    Had a great time staying with goSTOPS Kochi. Clean & comfortable rooms and washrooms. Spacious and beautifully maintained co living space. Great vibe and ambience overall. Hosts there: Jorbin, Jinu, Samagra were very helpful and showcased professional behaviour and hospitality . And special mention to Divya tyagi for great fun filled evenings.

    goSTOPS is located in one of the most premium locality that’s FORT KOCHI. It is approx 200-300 m from the sea. It is located in Portuguese style of building which seems to hundreds of years old. It is well maintained. Try to book from booking. com as u will get some discount. Everything is well planned in the dorm except reading light which might disturb others as it is bulb based light . It is approx 5 min walk from Fort Kochi Ferry boat jetty stand which takes one Kerela bus stand from where u can get local as well state buses. Only one has pay Rs 6 and u will insta story as it passes through beautiful waterways. There is common room in this hostel where u can interact with other mates , play games, guitar and board games. It is fun place to be But since COVID very few travellers come during weekdays, weekends it is mostly occupied. using WiFi is tricky as they will send u password in message. Check in won’t take much time. I advice everyone to opt it for day or two then look for alternative in and around as staying in the Fort Kochi is amazing experience. There are lot of home stay or other hostel like Zostel and Xhostel. Note : Most of the canteens in various hostels are closed and seems like they have no plans to open it again. Food options are there nearby but for budget travelers there are hardly any cheaper alternatives. Ordering from Zomato and swiggy is not cheap too. There i didn’t find self cooking option. Any questions are welcomed

    The locality is not that great, the common room was good, it has a/c, and dorms too. There was continuous power cut and no power backup even for emergency. It's badly planned and managed. The management has to take steps to make it better to work. Lot of power cuts in the place, even at night we had to sit in dark. I'm having a very bad experience staying in GoStops kochi. The rooms are claustrophobic, no windows washrooms very small, there is no ventilation in the hostel. Please make some improvement to your hostels

    The hostel was neat and clean primarily because there was only one other guest staying there. The prices could be reduced. The concierge was polite and helpful, the manager was okayish. The establishment was empty yet they showed online that only one bed is left to rush you. AC is not allowed from 10am to 10pm. They wouldn't reduce the price even with all the beds empty.

    I had very worst experience with these people. Two days before the journey they cancelled my buking saying that they dont hv room..If they didnt had room why did they showed availability At this last min where am i supposed to stay?

  • 4/5 Marie F. 1 year ago on Google
    GoStops staff was very sweet and helpful during our stay. The room was clean, AC was cold and I really enjoyed the location. We were in a private room, with a separate, private bathroom (but in a common area). The room and bathroom had poor ventilation during the humid season, so it could be a bit stuffy. I felt very safe here and the common areas were super cute. Side note, if you’re a coffee person, I recommend checking out the coffee places to the right of GoStops (away from the center), as they had better coffee and quieter atmospheres during the busy season.

    Stayed there for 2 nights and had the best experience of my life. The living room of theirs is where everyone discusses their ideas and passions and find common ground. The whole place is clean and the staff is super friendly. Goo Gostops..πŸ’ͺ

  • 4/5 shilky g. 1 year ago on Google
    Rooms are not as shown in the pictures on the website. Booked a twin room but there was no view and it was very very small. The common area is good though! Dorms are fine but will not recommend booking the rooms here! The food from the cafe is good, they have an in-house cafe. They also provide early check in on the basis of room availability. Good for group and solo travellers not couples.

  • 5/5 Tharun Joseph A. 1 year ago on Google
    The Room, Linen, Bathroom and Common Area were clean. The place was very cool and we felt comfortable around the place from the get go. Mr. Jinu was a Solid Host and made us feel at home. The Crowd here is also superb, would definitely recommend for Solo and Group Travellers

  • 1/5 Abhay C. 10 months ago on Google
    It was a pathetic experience. Use GoStops for the first time and it will be my last. The location was bad. They did not have water bottles and the helping staff didnt even know where the shop was. Asked for tissue paper and he said they dont have that either. The washroom barely had space to stand. I booked airbnb and moved instantly. Had booked gostops for 2 night, didnt even spend 2 hours there.

  • 4/5 Mohammed S. 9 months ago on Google
    Loved the rooms and ambience. We were a group of 2 boys and 2 girls(cousins guyz chill). The rooms were good and comfortable. Also there are many cafe next to this as it's a prime location.

  • 1/5 Isaac S. 9 months ago on Google
    Avoid this hostel. Terrible. Unbelievable amount of black mould throughout the building. The damp smell is awful and you can feel heaviness in the air as soon as you step in. Beds were dirty. Manager was very unhelpful and was laughing at us when we mentioned these issues.

  • 1/5 Aditya S. 9 months ago on Google
    Not upto the brand standards. Not worth booking and staying at all. A prior Gostops experience at another property may bring you here, only to disappoint. Under staffed, poorly located, very small property, not very well maintained.

  • 5/5 Fathima F. 9 months ago on Google
    Best location.. most torist spots are near. Bookings at afternoon is cheaper than night. Nice vibe. No necessary toiletries

  • 5/5 divya s. 11 months ago on Google
    The Service was exceptional. People especially Sahair and Jinu (Staff) where accommodating and where great in hospitality. The rooms, bed and washroom was clean the best part.

  • 5/5 Shaurya K. 4 months ago on Google
    I have been to many hostels and this is one of the best hostels I have been to. The hosts-Nandakishor and Pranav are amazing. Nandakishor helped me a lot in settling in hostel and was always available for anything. Housekeeper is also nice. I was so happy that I extended my stay for 1 more week here. Would definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 Neha A. 4 months ago on Google
    Would totally recommend this hostel for anyone on a budget trip. The rooms have AC and everything was maintained clean to a large extent. They also assist in hiring vehicles to move around Kochi. The hosts, Pranav and Nandu were chill and super helpful!

  • 5/5 Rupasree N. 5 months ago on Google
    In simple words, my stay was quite good. And gostops always gave me best memories and experience. Rooms, are really cozy and very comfortable and affordable. Food is good and reasonably affordable. Location is near to boat jetty, it's just walkable distance from here and the main location is nearby and walkable distance. Common area and the whole property is aesthetic and cozyyy... Staff are very helpful and friendly. We reached the property quite late..and even though they didn't hesitate to provide food when we ordered. I am really thankful to Mr. Nanda Kishore. Who made us feel guest. And yeah, this is my second time in fort kochi gostops. They never failed to provide the best. I highly recommend this hostel in fort kochi.

  • 3/5 Nikhil J. 4 months ago on Google
    We booked a private room! The roomwas ok and cosy, but the service was very poor. Most of the tike, the reception was empty. We couldnt find a person to enquire about the morning breakfast when we went at 8 AM! The person was available only at around 9.Similar experience happened in the evening time. Also. There is no parking space for bikes. We had to leave our bike in the side of the road and morning we found that the bike is filled with dust and mud and had to clean it in the morning to just sit on it. The location is pretty good accessible to all places . It is very near to the seagull hotel and less than 2km to the beach. The room was clean and cosy with good air conditioning, but the bathroom was a little cramped up for space.

  • 5/5 Shafeeq A. 4 months ago on Google
    In short such a nice stay, clean rooms bathroom balconies, enjoyed a lot 😍 One thing to mention is that the staff are so courteous and know all our needs with very polite,thank you so much Pranav & Nandu πŸ«‚ you Guy's are the highlight of the property πŸ’ž all the important places to see in Fort Kochi are close to here. Simlpy say it's awesome stay, thanks again Pranav & Nandu 😍😍

  • 5/5 Thanya Durga V. 5 months ago on Google
    This is the best place to stay in kochi... The service is awesome, it's near the beach and they help us in every way... Thank you nandha kishor for taking a good care of us... I strongly recommend this place...!!!

  • 4/5 Viswas K G. 2 years ago on Google
    The place a good ambience and vibe especially for solo travelers. One of the best economical places to stay in Fort Kochi. Location of the place is in such a way that it is near to bus stand as well as to boat service, make it convenient for travelers to explore different parts of Kochin and other nearby places. About the stay, the place has good and clean rooms and surroundings. It also provide seating space for those on workation. Drawback with the place is that there is no in house cafe. Apart from that it was a great stay at GoStops. Recommended.

  • 5/5 Savio M. 2 years ago on Google
    Recently I decided to go on a weekend getaway to Fort Kochi. I had my stay at Go Stops. It was the most affordable and cleanl hostel I found in that area. The hosts Jinu & Jorbin were very cool and friendly. They never said no to any of our good requirements. They had a good knowledge about the place and helped us plan our sightseeing in the most smart and affordable way. Highly recommended property for backpackers.

  • 5/5 Santhosh K. 2 years ago on Google
    Best weekend I've had at Fort Kochi. Had my stay at Go Stops which was the most elegant and affordable property seen in fort kochi. The pleasing and courteous hosts Mr.Jinu and Mr.Jorbin Made my stay even more pleasing as they were ready to help at any moment and had good idea about the place which made sightseeing easy. Highly recommended place for a pleasing weekend and great service.

  • 4/5 Manasi G. 2 years ago on Google
    Stay was really great. Biggest plus point was it's Hygiene. And both the hostel coordinators were really polite and helping. I would definitely recommend this hostel as it's near the view points of fort kochi. It's also a very work friendly place for those who plans for workation.

  • 5/5 Nilangi S. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Emmanuel N B. 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly the best spot to check out most of Fort Kochi. The location is EXCELLENT. Everything is within walking distance. Clean rooms and bathrooms.

  • 3/5 Anupama B. 2 years ago on Google
    It was my first booking with gostops nd i have mixed feeling about the stay. Staff was polite and the interiors were lookin gud. location s kind of remote and road is narrow and place don't have any parking facilities. Rooms wer not upto mark. Bed linens wer not clean dust wer there and it was smewhat Okish stay for the price we paid for a double room. No amenities wer der and staff was polite enough to provide us with towels nd soap.

  • 3/5 shahanas e. 1 year ago on Google
    We booked for two days and when we reached there they said u can stay one one day!! Just a day before we arrived one of the walls of the building collapsed. They have renovated the building well but not considering the security or safety of people who are going to stay there. The building is like a 90 years old nanny dressed as 16 years old teen. Good experience if you are ready to experiment with life

  • 4/5 TourTara T. 1 year ago on Google
    The hostel is easy to find, and at a prime location. The dorm beds need more cleanliness. All thanks to Harsh from Kerela who is working there for some time, he literally entertained me solely, and interacts with everyone really nicely, and took good care of me. All thanks to Harsh :)

  • 5/5 Love it Hate i. 1 year ago on Google
    Very affordable and vale for money Place for stay.Had such a great stay here. The Boat Jetty is also at a walkable distance from where we can take boats to the main city which only around 15mins ride.Very friendly staff.I would highly recommend this place for solo and group travellers.

  • 4/5 Be W. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful Property well maintained with a perfect hostel set-up, hostel location is not in a good place. Rest everything is really liked Staff, cleanliness, and common area.

  • 5/5 divya s. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a great time staying with goSTOPS Kochi. The dorms are very comfortable and washrooms are clean. Coliving space is beautiful where we all enjoyed watching football games on Sunday night. Great vibe and ambience overall. Host Jinu is very helpful, he suggested amazing places to eat and visit and also helped arranging travel. He showcased professional behaviour and amazing hospitality. Definitely going back for another vacation.

  • 5/5 Tilak F. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place .Renovated dutch house.. Budget friendly. Took ac dorm. Rs400/-.due to pandemic, I was the only occupant in the dorm. No food here but eateries are at walkable distance. Jinu and Jorbin, at the reception were very helpful and friendly.

  • 2/5 F F. 1 year ago on Google
    It's quite small, dirty, and you won't sleep well. In addition, think that the climate is too hot in here to sleep in a hostel, because people will use they fans, turn the AC on / off, so a mix of too hot, too cold, too noisy. Manager is friendly and helpful though. Would recommend paying a tiny bit more to sleep in your own room and have a bathroom that is bigger and cleaner than a toilet.
