    Terrible Stay

    sumanjeet k.group

    I booked stay for four days(3 people in group), but when entered the hostel (around 4-5 PM) , it was smelling full of cigarettes smoke, no proper ventilation. We had no option to stay somewhere else for first night but just next morning , we booked room at new place and left the hostel early 6 am . Every minute was haunting us, we were checking time again and again to book cab but the facility starts at 6 or 7. It was very terrible, would not recommend anyone to waste their money because all the reviews are fake and done by the hostel themselves. Even the receptionist was very rude and didnot help us for refund . Even we make calls several times on makemytrip and they had done nothing till now. It was very very terrible experience.
