    I'm a solo traveller & I was referred to Krishna bhai. He has a very cool property in Auroville from location to hospitality everything is perfect. The sunset from the top of the property is beautiful. Also, the trip won't be worth without Krishna bhai.

    Absolutely recommended! The hostel owner makes you feel at home, so we even stayed at the hostel on New Year's Eve! Watching the extremely beautiful sunset on the roof of the hostel in the evenings and always being able to go to the cosy lounge was a great option. There was always an answer for any questions. The hostel is perfectly located to explore Auroville and surroundings! I will come again!

    We stayed at the funk monk for 3 nights and it was a wonderful experience. Krishna is a wonderful host and pulls all stops to make your stay comfortable. The staff is also very friendly and try their best to help in any which way possible. The place is very new and so expect some teething issues. The location is very serene and peaceful and just a walking distance to the visitors center.

    I am a traveller from Kerala. I was expecting an average room, with average facilities. But funk monk just blew my mind. They provided a spacious room for me, with lake view. And the sunset from the balcony was also amazing. They have a beautiful waiting lobby in the ground floor, which they have made it exceptional with paintings. Also they have a common area on the second floor, where you can sit back and relax, talk with friends, or play some games. The common area is also made colourful with paintings. It can change your mood. They have made everything special for the guests. Its not like a normal hostel. You feel something special here. You get some positive vibe from here. They also have dormitory. And they provide exclusive female dormitory for those who wants to stay away from strangers. I really loved staying in funk monk, and I will only prefer funk monk whenever I come to auroville, and I will recommend it 200% for my friends.

    We stayed a week at Funk Monk hostel and we had great time!! Krishna is an amazing host and will help you with everything! The best place to come when you arriving first time to Auroville and try to figure out this unique place. Moreover, The property is super clean, the rooms are comfortable and the rooftop is amazing for doing Yoga. And for breakfast Ama makes the best Dosas in India. Highly recommend this hostel. Thank you Krishna for everything 🙏🏻

    Had a lovely stay in Auroville, thanks to Krishna and his gracious hospitality. Would definitely recommend Funk Monk to anyone seeking an off the beaten track experience. Not only do you get a place to rest your head, but also a lot recommendations and stories from Krishna to help one explore the ethos n culture of the experimental township.

    First of all the location is absolutely perfect for a stay near auroville in Pondy! Second the price of the property is also perfectly decent. The owner of the property 'Krishna bhai', thankyou for your amazing suggestions to roam and explore places nearby. Funk monk was the perfect place for me. I strongly recommend this place for my fellow travellers from India and abroad.
