santa maria hostel or xhostel cochin?

I'm planning to visit kochi on the 29th of this December and leave by 1st Jan of 2025. This is my first time planning and traveling solo and i came across these two hostels as I was looking for a dorm stay. Both have a good ratting on the booking apps but I couldn't choose between the two. Could you please help a first timer out? Thanks in advance!
