Stay was good. Rooms were very clean and hospitality was good. Hostel staff suggested many places to visit and they had contact numbers of essential people which helps a lot. Only point they should improve is to introduce game zone. That will help solo travellers to socialise.

Poor Stay

gunjan g.couple

The property itself is quite decent, and its location is easily accessible. But the washrooms were not properly maintained, lacking cleanliness and hygiene, no hot water and toiletries given which was disappointing. Moreover, when concerns regarding these issues were brought to the attention of the staff, their response was unprofessional, making the experience even more unpleasant. The in-house café was another letdown — the food lacked flavor and the overall quality was subpar. Additionally, the pricing was not justified given the small portion sizes and poor taste.
