Ladies and gentlemen, Thank you for being here today. I stand before you not just as a traveler, but as someone who believes in the power of sharing experiences. Today, I want to talk to you about the importance of hotel reviews. In an era where choices are abundant, selecting the right hotel can be a daunting task. We often turn to the collective wisdom of fellow travelers to guide us through this maze. Hotel reviews play a crucial role in shaping our decisions, offering insights beyond the glossy brochures and polished websites. When we take the time to share our experiences, we contribute to a global community of wanderers, helping each other navigate the vast landscape of accommodations. A well-crafted hotel review is not just a recount of amenities; it is a narrative that weaves together the threads of comfort, hospitality, and ambiance. Our words hold influence, guiding future travelers toward memorable experiences or cautioning them against potential pitfalls. As reviewers, we become architects of trust, constructing a bridge between the unknown and the eagerly anticipated. Remember, a review is not just a critique; it is a gift to fellow adventurers. Whether it's praising the warm welcome at the reception or highlighting areas that could use improvement, every word contributes to a shared reservoir of knowledge. So, let us embrace the responsibility that comes with our journeys. Let us be the storytellers who guide others through the labyrinths of travel. As we leave our impressions on the pages of review platforms, let them be more than mere words; let them be beacons illuminating the path for those who come after us. Thank you for your attention, and may your travels be filled with enriching experiences worth sharing.

It has very affordable price as compared to other hotel in South Delhi.The place is cleaned daily.Staff is helpful if they are present. Something which bothers me is receptionist is not always present there seems like there business is running on auto mode and the bedsheets, towels, matress and blanket seems very old. I think they should renovate or use new ones. Heater was not working properly.

Great place for a short stay. Close to metro stn and overall a very pleasant and nice locality. There are plenty of good coffee shops nearby as well. I stayed in a 6 bed dorm and everything was like a typical backpacking hostel. Hot water was available 24*7. The people are also very nice and place also looked safe for solo female travellers. You can get locker facility by paying for a refundable deposit.

It's not 2 start hostel or anything No food available, not even tea if you want hot water you have to go to the kitchen heat water yourself... No room service, caretaker were rude.. I just checked in and my bed side where really dirty I told her she said to take cloth and clean it yourself. Then I insisted I will not be doing so and is that how you treat your guest then she clean herself. I reached two hours late bcz of rain.. they didn't even offer me to sit or water untill I did their payment.... And I choose a female dorm I thought the common kitchen will be on same floor but she said me to go to 1st floor and at 11pm I sat alone on 1st floor and boys were smoking there it was super uncomfortable.. people in dorms were nice except few in my case one.. she didn't even allow me to eat in the room bcz she can smell it and other told me that she herself eat in the room. I have class full day from 8am to 10pm. She complains both times that you guys are creating so much sound.. I were using bedside light and doing everything in dark very cautiously still. It was three days and I booked to only sleep as I had 12hr classes daily and here it was mentioned that breakfast lunch dinner is available but that was not the case. If you go and ask anything they refuse. Even I asked a chair for little time they refused eventually they give me cup to drink hot water. If you want literally just a mattress then you can opt for it. Otherwise don't. Next I will opt for hotel room only this was my 1st time in hostel and it was not good They even stole my pillow and towels but luckily I got it back. I heard this is not the 1st time it happened. I am pretty sure that they used it

Honestly speaking, I'm disappointed. Place looks much different than the photos. The property isn't clean, sheets aren't clean, with smell. It was freezing, and no heater in the room. There were 2 old men outside the female dorms speaking loudly and continuosly making noise in the middle of the night, which was unbearable and disrespectful (and didn't feel safe). Not worth the money in my opinion. Won't recommend

Place is not clean. Most things are either not working or broken. There are no dorm rules, anyone uses any other dorms washroom, so booking of a 6bed dorm is useless.

Based on our (group of 3 girls) 2-day stay: If you're expecting a vibe like Zostel or The Hosteller, you probably won't get it. It's a row house converted into a hostel stay in a residential colony. It's pretty dull place, figuratively and literally. A kitchen is available for you to cook your own meal. It's fine if you need a place to just to keep your stuff and crash at night. Management was not great either. There was no one to attend to us at the reception while check in, keeping us waiting for over 30 minutes. None of the contact numbers listed were answered. Comforters weren't replaced for the next guest. We booked a mixed dorm since the female dorm wasn't available. We were not allowed to lock the door even to get dressed, which was inconvenient because dorm-mates and even the helper staff walked in multiple times without knocking. The water purifiers were empty all evening and night. The manager seemed to keep giving the benefit of the doubt to those staying for longer durations, because these dorm-mates, who were all there for over a month, gave us instructions (no locking doors, no playing music, etc) as if we were crashing at their house, which was unnecessary and inconvenient because we did stay pretty decently without causing others inconvenience.
