“As a solo traveler in Chennai, finding a hostel with live music was a game-changer for meeting people. I stayed near Anna University, and the evening performances at the hostel's lounge made it easy to strike up conversations. Safety felt good, especially with private bathrooms and secure check-in. Public transport was a bit of a learning curve, but once I figured out the buses, getting to other parts of the city was fine. The shared kitchen was also a bonus for saving money on food.”
