A very nice place to stay for the solo travellers, group of friends in Gokarna. Located nicely, you get panoramic view of the Gokarna Main Beach; Atmalingam temple is just a couple of minutes walk. Nice ambience, full of amenities, ample common area to chill and relax. Beach games and activities are also organised by Zostel. Live-in music in the evening; inhouse bar & restaurant. You get to interact with other travellers. Overall this place gives you a premium experience in a budget travel.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at zostel Gokarna , and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the breathtaking views that this hostel offers. The location is simply spectacular, providing guests with some of the best vistas I've ever seen. The hostel itself is well-maintained and comfortable, with clean and cozy dorms. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. What truly sets this hostel apart, however, is its incredible cafe. The food and beverages served there were not only delicious but also reasonably priced. I found myself enjoying both sunrise and sunset while sipping a cup of coffee from their cafe, which was a remarkable way to start and end each day. If you're looking for a hostel with a combination of unbeatable views and a great cafe. It's an excellent choice for travelers seeking both natural beauty and culinary delights. I can't wait to return to this gem on my next adventure.

Location is just right, great view of the ocean and the vibe is really great. Loads of activities to keep you engaged and then communication was easy and friendly with the staff. The Matra cafe is fab, affordable and food is good. And thanks God ac works really well, rather too cold at times haha

Provide shower gel and shampoo in the bathroom. Also the wifi is pretty bad.

location is superb, rooms and beds are comfortable, staffs are great and helpful.

mantra cafe is simply overpriced and overrated.. alcohol are super expensive and not a hostel priced, no great options for cocktail lovers (they just add vodka or rum based, no other bar cocktails) i am highlighting this because of the overrating, hype and over pricing. food menu was pale. no thali and limited food. this zostel is not like other zostels where hostel mates are mixing, talking, planning.. here i felt its against solo travellers.. felt like just an accommodation place and had no vibes..

The location, the facilities and cleanliness. AC rooms were a blessing in the summer time. 24hours hot water is a boon after an evening dip in the sea.

Mantara cafe inside the property is overpriced and food is not good, no nearby good restaurants also. They serve breakfast only by 8.30 am, for someone like me who needs regular coffee in the morning they did not have. They served only latte and cappuccino, and continental and aloo partha. Please cater to the south Indian crowd also as Gokarna is in south India.

Amazing location, and a good cafe outside the space. Lovely people, I met here. I am sure to visit again. However they hiked the prices during the weekend too much.

There was no hot water so we had to ask for buckets or so. Couldn't have hot showers, so was disappointed a lot. I did not have a stay for one night anywhere in the town, so I requested a stay in the common space, I was allowed only when I booked for the next night. I had to request many people from the staff for the same. For genuine problems, I think Zostel could have helped with more proactiveness.

One of the best Zostel properties around. A must stay in Gokarna. All staff are amazing especially Mo and Drishti. Live music during weekends at the cafe are the best.

Common area could have been more spacious and should have more card games

Everything… I’ve stayed at Zostel at different location before but this was way beyond the expectations. The location, the placement of dorms, the common area, the cafe, the view, the vibes and the overall hygiene maintenance. It was just amazing. Kudos to Zostel Gokarna team. Had the best time here. Be it solo, group of friends or family, this property has it for all. I’ve made some good friends here.

Cafe prices are on higher side.

The music in the cafe was exactly the same every single day. They can do with some good playlists on Spotify or YouTube music like indie india, jazz, coke studio, dream pop like beach house…. Instead of eh same old pop hits of cold play and Katy perry and Taylor swift or the early 2011’s pop hits.
