    We reached the hosteller by 2:47 pm, the check in was at 2 pm but yet the rooms were not ready. Anyhow we got our rooms at 4:45 pm. The host apologized to us and offered snacks from his side. The rooms were too small not as per the price. The road to stay is pathetic. The food from its own restaurant was average but pricey. It didn't feel like we booked private rooms.

    Really boring environment..

    kumar a.family

    The property doesn't have water in room. There were dogs who constantly bark at you. The lighting is so poor, even the rooms which we got was smelling. No hot water for bathing. No gaming and entertainment room, No activities. Just a boring property to stay.

    Stay was good but the road was pathetic from main road towards Hosteller. Sham, Stalin & the AGP was very humble. The Dorm did not have the AC which is suffocating at night. But the location is terrific.
