This is the best hostel i've stayed at in India ! It is super clean and a really nice location next to the river (but not too close). And Abhey and his brother Polkit are the sweetest and most accommodating guys ever. They treat you like friends, not just guests. You can tell they really care about making this a welcoming and relaxed space. This place has such a great vibe and i would definitely come back again :))

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
