Safety 46

Worst location and hospitality I've ever seen, the bedrooms are full of bugs, the manager speaks as if he's doing a favour just for hosting and is very irresponsible. Please please stay away for your sanity. It also feels very unsafe and inhospitable.

This is the prefect stay for the weekend gateway with friends. We had a wonderful time at Lostel Malgudi. The location was perfect - close to the city and beautiful surrounding atmosphere. The greenery around the property is like awesome. Very comfortable, spacious, clean and warm rooms. The staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable. I hope to be back for a longer visit in the future.

Best place I recommend to backpackers , friends gang and family to visit, relax in nature. Ambience is really great. People who like authentic style like me will love enjoy this place. Service is really great. Rooms and washrooms are really neat and clean. Location is very near to chickmaglore city. Hardly takes 10-15 min from city to reach property. Pretty sure you will make best memories with friends when you stay here. I should talk about the safety also its very safe to enjoy, Secure property.

My visit to Lostel in Chikamagaluru was like stepping into a welcoming home that held the charm of a bygone era. The vintage and traditional decor of the place created a warm and inviting atmosphere. It was a retreat that blended the past with the present, offering a comfortable stay that felt both familiar and new. The furniture had a touch of age, telling stories of the past, while the rooms provided a comforting embrace, with the serenity of the surroundings acting as a backdrop. The staff’s hospitality shone through, making my stay memorable. Lostel wasn’t just a place to stay; it was an experience, a slice of Chikamagaluru’s soul.

Badminton, cricket, carrom etc. Campfire is also available based on rain conditions. The backyard is beautiful surrounded by coffee plantations.
