“My stay here was absolutely amazing! The hostel has a perfect blend of comfort, cleanliness, and a super friendly atmosphere. The staff are incredibly welcoming and always ready to help, making me feel right at home. The common areas are vibrant and great for meeting fellow travelers from around the world. Rooms are cozy, well-maintained, and provide everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect — close to all the main attractions, yet peaceful enough to relax. I met some wonderful people here and created memories I’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for a place that feels more like a family than just accommodation, this is the hostel to choose! Highly recommend to every backpacker and traveler 💯✨.”

We had a lovely stay here. The place was exceptionally clean, and the owner was very responsive. His daughter speaks excellent English, making communication effortless. Conveniently located close to Assi Ghat, it’s a highly recommended option!

Very nice vibe and close to many of the popular spots. Short walk to Assi ghat where we experienced the ceremonies morning and evening. Very very helpful and kind staff, Yash helped us with train tickets and knowledge about the area and India in general. Sunil cheated at Uno ;) and made a great vibe on the rooftop. Restaurant is convenient and if you want something a bit more western a few cafes are in the area (sparrow and Marc’s cafe) otherwise the bread omelette is also a winner

It's a great place and very central. The room is a good size. The bathroom can use an update, but it is clean. I found out while I was there that it is considerably more expensive than other hostels in the area, but I still found the price reasonable. Everybody working there was really nice and friendly and helpful.

great hostel, exactly what you’d expect from a backpacker hostel. Great common area (games room, guest shower, terrace with kitchen). Really makes for a relaxed atmosphere. we stayed for holi, and when things got a bit rowdy in town we came back here where there was a really nice party (very safe, with checks of who was allowed in and who not). the people who work there are super friendly and accommodating for traveler’s needs (clear info and help, even provided extra soap and towel to use for our post holi shower). highly recommend!

Perfect location. The hostel really exceeded my expectations, super clean and great facilities. Staff were friendly and all the people I met were friendly too. It felt super safe. The neighbourhood was also very safe. Great location for the old town. I was sad to leave and will return!
