    Unfortunately I only got to enjoy one night here, but it's super cosy, everyone is so friendly and it's a great social place. When I'm back in the North-East, I'll be back here!

    The only issue was bathroom ventilation which was addressed by staff.

    The property is pretty decent for stay, located in residential area where everything is at a walking distance. Interiors are minimal and comfy. The owner Neep and staff Biplob, Kalyan are super kind and friendly which makes your stay worth while. The beds are comfy and rooms are clean. The food they serve is delicious and exactly home cooked meal..as my flight was super delayed on checkout date the owner was so kind to offer and extend my stay just like a family!

    I had a wonderful stay at Hostello backpacker's! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and were always available to help with recommendations and any queries. The check-in process was smooth, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The dorm rooms were clean and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and personal lockers for security. The shared bathrooms were spotless, with hot water available at all times. I also appreciated the cozy common areas, which were perfect for socializing, working, or just unwinding after a long day. Though the location was a bit far from the railway stations but the vibes were unmatched. Overall, Hostello is a great budget-friendly option for solo travelers and backpackers. The friendly staff, clean facilities, and social atmosphere make it an excellent choice. I would definitely stay here again!

    It was an experience here. The hostel is very clean and comfortable and it stands out comparing to all the hostels i have been to cause of the hospitality that it serves. They have really nice guest service as shivam bhaiya is available there 24/7 for you. Such a nice person to be with , he arranged a borlnfire for us and gathered all the guest together, we had great conversation sharing our stories and the add on was he offered free drinks to me and others. The service that he provides in a hostel is way better than alot of hotels i have been too. He served me hot food at 2 am in the morning, thank you so much for that as I was really very hungry. It's a must visit place and the best provided till now. Thank you so much. Next time it will be my treat shivam bhaiya.

    It was a great experience staying here. The location is really nice , it's just behind the zoo so you can hear the fox howls , tiger roars and and even spot animals and birds from the terrace . The host Shivam has very good knowledge about the city and helps you with everything like where to go and eat and explore. It's very safe and peaceful. Everything is nice the staff , stay and especially the host. Highly recommend as you are in nature as well as in the city centre.
