  • What is the cost of a hostel in Chennai?

    On average, it’s $13/night for a hostel in Chennai, though $12/night or less would be considered a good deal. The least expensive hostel our users have found recently was for $6/night in Chennai. Try to avoid booking your hostel in December (the most expensive month). Booking in February (the cheapest month) could save you money.

  • Should I stay in a Chennai hostel?

    Hostels in Chennai tend to have a more active social scene than hotels, so they’re perfect for outgoing travellers looking to meet other people. Chennai hostels are, on average, cheaper than other stays in the city due to their dorm-style sleeping quarters. However, this means you can spend your money elsewhere such as on local tours and events.
