riddhi m.solo

The staff on site was excellent, really supportive and helpful and went above above and beyond but overall the place could use a lot of improvement in terms of basic facilities like geyser, hygiene products (soap etc), cleanliness of the facility especially bathroom. It is undergoing renovation so assuming the broken things will be repaired but overall approach from management seems lacking and not providing adequate or basic facilities to guests.

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.
