Featuring a garden, U.R.D.Ki Hostel is located in Anjuna in the Goa region, a 14-minute walk from Anjuna Beach and 1.1 miles from Ozran Beach.

Best hotels in anjuna no doubt. Clean and tidy. Best location but the only thing which I unlocked is the air conditioning it was too poor hot and humid in the room. Even fan in the reading room was slow. PlayStation is there but the joystick 🕹️ is not working since months. Next time will stay in here only but pls make the joystick work or buy new one please. Apart from ac everything was top notch:) 😄

Located in Anjuna, a 11-minute walk from Anjuna Beach, SortBy Stays, Anjuna has accommodations with a fitness center, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

Overall, stay was decent for the price we paid. The best part was that Artjuna cafe was walking distance and Anjuna beach was also a km away. The bed was a little uncomfortable for a good night's sleep and the room had a musty odor throughout since there was no sunlight. Other than that stay was alright. We stayed there for 2 nights.

Everything mainly the organizers or the owners and staff. They were so welcoming and chill. The guy who was working who is a little elderly, he was so good at hospitality. The guys knows what he ia doing.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The host was amazing and was able to give us amazing recommendations on what to do and see in the area. The room and entire homestay was spotless and the room had everything we needed. The place weas very secure so we felt super safe and taken care of. We also really loved the on-site water purification system which was a cheap and sustainable way to access drinking water during our stay.

    Classy revamp carefully and tastefully executed. Staff always on hand but not intrusive. I extended my stay simply to enjoy the room and the great location. Felt safe and valued as a guest. Certainly a stand out and well worth checking in.

    Great location in historic district of Panaji, the capital of Goa with the Portuguese influences. For a budget property, the hot water shower and comfortable bed was great!

    The property is neatly maintained. It's definitely one of the best hostels I've stayed at. Food was great too. Loved it. Interiors are beautiful. Location is close to the bus stand is an added advantage.

    Centrally located budget hostel paired with a cafe that has board games and books. They provided a free breakfast. The cafe had comfortable seating, however the beds could be more comfortable. Very good options around for dining.
