Great location! A hostel with a swimming pool, plus a free towel is provided—they even replaced mine on the second day of my three‑day stay without my asking. Free bottled water is available daily, and the bathroom and shower area are spacious and clean.

Great location, near Little India. There's a personal storage locker at the front of the bed. Bed is comfy & cozy, aircon is cold. There are multiple shared bathrooms, come with heated water, slightly tight space, liquid soap available. Breakfast available at 8.30am, sometimes earlier. Self serve, toast, free flow of coffee & tea. Love the juicy watermelon. :) Friendly staffs. I would recommend this place to young ppl & travellers for a budget stay. Value for money. Will book again :)

The host went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay, providing valuable local tips and creating a welcoming environment. I highly recommend Aayu chulia for an unforgettable and budget-friendly accommodation option
