    Pleasant stay

    omkar t.couple

    This property provides good facility at great prices. They do provide meals on request which is prepared on property. Amenities are good and covers almost all basic needs. Location can be a bit difficult as it is faraway from dal gate. However, people with vehicle can enjoy nice view of mountains and calm neighbourhood. Owner and Staff members are friendly and helpful.

    So we stayed at this property for a night. And we had an overall good time here. We occupied private lake view room and it was very well maintained and equipped with all basic necessities. The staff is extremely polite and helpful. There’s a cute dining area and a game area where u can chill and play some board games and just have some leisure time. You can even rent a scooter here at pretty affordable rates. The only drawback would be that the location is a bit inside the narrow alley where in it was difficult for us to find a cab . But overall it was a great experience!

    Delicious food

    suraj k.couple

    I had a wonderful stay at Whostels! The highlight of my experience was the delicious food served at their cafe - a must-try! I booked a private room with a stunning lake view, which exceeded my expectations. The room size was spacious, and the room heater worked efficiently. However, there was one drawback - the bed was not particularly comfortable. It creaked noticeably even with slight movements. Overall, I would definitely recommend Whostels for its scenic views, tasty food, and cozy atmosphere. Just hope they upgrade their beds soon!

    Location is bit inside about 1.5 kms walk from main dal lake road and the hostel cleanliness and staff is great. It’s safe for solo travelers and pretty much close to all good touristy spots.

    Review for Whostel Pros: 1. Scenic Views: The property offers some beautiful views of the surroundings. 2. Reasonable Pricing: Dorm tariffs are budget-friendly. 3. Polite Staff: The staff members are kind and courteous. 4. Good Food: The food quality is satisfactory. Cons: 1. Rude Owner: The property owner is extremely unprofessional and uses rough language (e.g., "Dikhta nahi kya? Kitni baar bolu"). Such behavior is unacceptable. 2. Poor Location: Situated 1.5 km uphill from the main road, making accessibility very challenging. 3. No Nearby Food Options: There are no restaurants or dhabas nearby, leaving guests dependent on the property’s food. 4. Commute Issues: No cabs accept rides to the property, creating significant inconvenience. Travelers might even risk missing their flights or trains. 5. Room Hygiene: Rooms have a foul odor, making the stay uncomfortable. Final Verdict: This property is not recommended, especially for short stays. The combination of a rude owner, inaccessible location, and poor room hygiene outweighs the few positives. Consider other options for a better experience.

    We had a wonderful stay at Whostels it’s such a warm, welcoming and comfortable place to stay. The view from our room was captivating and i loved the peaceful and serene surroundings. Although the place is located a little away from the main dal gate but if you have convenience then that won’t be a problem. We have enjoyed our stay :)
