    Truly lost place.

    The place was quite difficult to access, there should have been clear communication regarding the same, and overall was not a very comfortable place to stay in.

    My stay at the hostel

    jitendra k.solo

    I had high expectations however it was it turned out to be a nightmare. I reached the hostel at 6 o’clock in morning and waited for 2 hours in chilling cold bcz no body was there at the reception. Later they did not have hot water in the rooms bcz of the power cut. In night we orders snacks and it took almost 2 hours to serve that too the wrong order. I ordered chilly chicken and they served chilly paneer. Again they took almost an hour to deliver the dinner. On the next day morning, geyser was not working so i had to take bath with cold water. All n all very poor experience. Not recommended at all

    Location is odd, auto from mall road or other location asks 300 or 350, i was charged 350 rs for 3kms. Room and host were good but location is an issue, and in late night there are no conveyance, you have to go by foot on steep high.
