One of the best Hostel I have stayed in the recent past, the Hostel is sparkling clean, neat and fresh. The bed is fantastic with a comforter to keep you warm during the winter. The air-conditioner is maintained well. The reception guy is cool and helpful. The online checking method and MobilePASS key is cool And save us from losing the key and also the best use of the technology. The common area is the highlight of the Hostel. It’s a very happening place where people sit around chat, make friends network or do some activity or even games for that matter. I’ve never seen a kitchen of this size in any Hostel. I stayed till date or 50 countries. The kitchen is massive, and all the inmates can cook their meals. All the provisions are inside. The cutlery bowl plate, cooking vessels and even storage is ample. The bathroom needs special mention as they’re super clean and fresh and maintained at a fantastic level.

I think this was one of my best stays at a hostel. Beds had privacy, bed outlets, safety boxes within your private space. Restroom and shower areas were clean. The place has a bar in the evening and coffee during the day. All, in all everything went very smoothly and I can't say more than, give it a try.

Everything was good, very clean. The bathroom in the room is big and comfortable. Kitchen small but in winter there are not so many people so it was ok.
