    Terrible Stay

    rishabh s.solo

    The bunker rooms were too small to accommodate 6 people beds were also small. You charged almost for a bed that is not even a proper bunker bed it was half of that. Plus there was no swimming pool in the property and you re branding it as zostel “plus”. Coming to the food part, it was hell expensive and let me tell you expensive is not the problem the taste and the quality we were getting for that price was terrible I had your sandwich and I hated that in fact everyone on the table hated it. We stayed at hosteller Lonavala for 2 days before coming to zostel and it was far better experience than you offered even for a very high price. Worst zostel experience I ever had

    Zostel Panchgani is an absolute gem if you’re looking for a stay with unreal valley views and a vibrant, social vibe. I stayed in one of their valley view rooms, and honestly, the scenery from the balcony was next-level. Waking up to clouds drifting through the hills and sipping coffee while watching the sun rise over the valley was a highlight of the trip. The rooms are thoughtfully designed—clean, cozy, and built in a way that makes the most of the hillside location. The Bombax Restaurant on-site exceeded expectations. Every meal we had there was top-notch—from comfort food to more unique dishes. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe of the place made it perfect for chilling out or meeting fellow travelers.

    Excellent place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Panchagani. View from the room is spectacular and cafe serves all cuisines made perfectly. Chose the hammock room and the views are dreamy. Special mention to Vishal and team for the amazing food at Bombax cafe.

    "I spent a night at Zostel Mahabaleshwar and it was an amazing experience. The hostel's decor and atmosphere were very beautiful and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Zostel Mahabaleshwar's location is also very good, about 1.5 km from Mahabaleshwar bus stand. From here, you can easily reach all the tourist attractions in Overall, Zostel Mahabaleshwar is a good and comfortable option if you're looking for a budget-friendly and social experience in Mahabaleshwar. I would definitely recommend it!" SUGGESTION FROM MY SIDE: REQUEST IF YOU CAN PUT SOME EASY CHAIR NEAR BOMBEX.🫡

    Not worth the money

    sarika o.couple

    stay is not that value for money. cons:- property is 28 kms from main city overpriced rooms are very compact and I got injured by the iron stand in room. constant noise as due to rain and honestly I was scared. no room service. cafe is too far. property is bit confusing and no direction signs inside. There are few few lights in common area which is very unsafe during Fogg and rains. pros- view is nice staff is nice we asked for a permission to capture few pictures inside or outside of the cafe and they asked for 25000 for an hour. I would suggest there are other properties with better facilities.
