    Reviews Summary

    Powered by Myra.AI

    The property is conveniently located near ISBT Shimla, making it easy to access public transport. Guests have praised the cordial staff and clean dorms, which are budget-friendly. However, several reviews highlighted that the washrooms could significantly improve in terms of cleanliness and water supply issues. The steep location and limited food options nearby were also mentioned, requiring some effort to reach the property. The cozy ambiance and good beds make it a solid choice for solo and group travelers.

    It could improve upon the kitchen and access to the basic kitchen equipment. Also, though admins have told me during this 6 nights stay I can have dinner at the premises itself. The kitchen/ canteen didn’t provide any dinner 🥘

    it was a pleasant stay. only 1 thing to highlight. This hotel is walkable distance from Shimla Railway Station but you need cab from New Bus stand. If you have 02 wheeler then this place is 10/10. I enjoyed my stay and love to visit in future.

    The Hostel staff was cordial. Dorms are clean and tidy. The washrooms are clean, just the pressure of water is a thing of concern sometimes. Overall the exclusive was a good one.

    The dorm bedsheet was quite cute but the washrooms were not clean, washrooms looked quite old, and the water flow was too low. But staff behaviour was polite and welcoming, canteen has limited options but that is fine. The location is good as it is located at a walking distance of the new bus stand, but we need to trek a little to reach the hostel as it is located at a high. If you are with your personal vehicle then fine otherwise it will be quite tiring.
