    Not recoom

    chaitanya p.group

    We were three people traveling together, and honestly, this place is just running on the name of Zostel. The hostel has become old, with absolutely no maintenance. The lounge area was occupied by workers lying around, which didn’t feel comfortable at all. It felt unsafe for solo women travelers, and the overall vibe of the place is gone due to poor upkeep. By 10 PM, all outdoor areas are shut down, killing any chance of a chill evening. There’s no hostel community feel here, which is usually the highlight of such stays. Overall, very disappointing experience.

    It's situated right beside a waterfall and is a cosy place to stay at. Food and all was ok not too happy with it as basic Rice was also not cooked properly. but the stay was amazing. staff was super friendly and helped me find everything I needed for my stay and that too at a good price.

    Terrible Stay

    chirag r.group

    “My experience at Zostel was extremely disappointing. The property is badly managed, and the staff members are neither professional nor sensible. Instead of making guests feel comfortable, they lack even basic courtesy and understanding. The atmosphere was unpleasant, and there was no sense of responsibility shown by the team. For a brand that claims to provide a good backpacker experience, this was the opposite. I would strongly advise future travelers to be cautious before booking, as the level of service and staff behavior was far below expectations.”

    panchami g.couple

    It was not great. For the amount I paid for the room it was very average. Moreover, the lift was not working and our room was on 4th floor. We had atleast 45 kg of luggage which me and my husband had to carry. No staff helped us. Secondly and most importantly, due to rain water seeped in from window and by morning our bags were wet. Thank God, our cameras were in waterproof bag otherwise we’d be in huge loss.

    Basic rooms. It’s quite from the hustle bustle so that’s a plus. But at the same time, you have to walk 2 km to get any auto, or get to ram jhula

    The property was a very cozy place, we were three people and we loved it there, all the amenities, the view and especially the staff all came together to make it a trip worth remembering. Rahul, the host, and shubh with a few other people of the staff made it a cherishable one. Would definitely recommend if going with friends or even as a solo traveler.

    Great stay for workat

    drashti d.solo

    I had amazing time at Zostel Laxman Jhula. I stayed here for a week. Location was amazing for longer stay, away from rush and traffic of Tapovan. Very close to Ganga Ghat. There were some amazing cafes at walking distance. You can rent a vehicle from Zostel itself. You can easily find daily necessities nearby. Shubh and Rahul were amazing hosts. Rahul took us to some amazing places. If someone is planning a longer stay, and wants to have chill and fun time, I definitely recommend this property.
