Reviews of The Hostel Stories, Bir - Landing Site

Amazing hostel! Right near the landing side :-) Amazing Chai & they even have a guitar!

I am in love with my experience so much that I wanna go back to Bir again. Raman bhai made sure that I felt like a family and not just like a traveller. He guided me all the time, gave me the best bed at my dorm and literally got Tofu for me when I couldn't find it anywhere. He is a pure gem. I loved the hostel vibe and everyone was so sweet. Didi made amazing breakfast for us and made sure everyone ate. I never felt like an outsider there, everyone was so heartwarming. Everything and anything I would say is less than what I actually experienced. I went there for 4 days but stayed for 8. And Raman bhai also let me paint the wall ... I loved it 😻 I'm so very glad that I went to this beautiful property beside the water stream which made me feel like home. And I'm very thankful to bhaiya for taking care of me like a sister. ❤️

Location and the property

All are good

What I absolutely loved about this property was its streamside location, offering the constant, calming sound of the water – truly a serene backdrop for any stay. It's clear this place is a home for solo travelers, a sentiment echoed by everyone I met, as we all ended up extending our stays. The heart of this place, however, is its people. Raman, the owner, genuinely cultivates an environment that draws in solo travelers who are looking for longer stays, and it really makes a difference. Beyond the great company, the hostel provides good, affordable food options and convenient laundry facilities. Its location is another major plus. Being away from the hectic main area of Bir and on the other side of the landing site means you get all the peace without the crowds. Plus, it puts you closer to popular spots like Silver Lining, Avvas, Thoplu, Mussafir, and the landing site itself, making exploration a breeze without dealing with the usual bustle of Bir.

Honestly, there was nothing I didn't like about the property. It's the kind of place you'll find yourself drawn back to again and again.

From the moment i reached the hostel i loved it, First time i had taken the risk of staying in a hostel other than big Brands Zo..Tel. It's a very hostel with an amazing location,Good food,Good dorms and a superb terrace.Best part of this hostel is the terrace where you can sit for hours and enjoy the view and sound of a small river.Owner is humble.

Nothing as such which i didn't like so 10 on 10

The vibe of this hostel is unmatched. Had the best time there!!

The homeliness, location and behaviour of everyone

What did you like about the property? Everything—from the homely vibe to the beautiful souls who run it. Vikram Bhaiya made my birthday unforgettable with a surprise celebration, and Cook Didi’s food and warmth felt like pure home love. The common area was full of games and positive energy, where I met amazing fellow solo travelers and created lifelong memories.

Honestly, nothing major—just that leaving it was the hardest part.

Amazing place to stay at. Bir and overall places near to this hostel gives you vibes of quaint village. Amazing team members who run this property. Do try dinner made by Vishnu, it's homely and delicious.

Good place

The people and their hospitality.

Vivek and Vishnu were such awesome staff and thoughtfully created a friendly and warm environment for all the guests. Beds and bathrooms were clean and I really appreciated having curtains on the bottom bunks. There is common space to hang out both inside and outside, with beautiful and peaceful views around. ~3 min walk to the nearest cafes and restaurants.

It’s around 15 mins walk from the centre of town which was fine for me personally

Loved the location. Just a minute from the landing site, but at the quiet part next to a small river. Great views on the mountains, especially from the roof. The host Vishal was also really nice, thank you. 🙏🏻

Nothing. Just a really nice place to stay at.

The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the landing site with the most stunning views. The vibe is super chill, and the host makes you feel right at home. Perfect place to unwind, meet like-minded travelers, and soak in the magic of Bir!

Such a homely place I would stay. Vibe here is different from other places. People just sit here and talk like friends, play games, sing. Hospitality is great. The host vishal was very welcoming and helpful. He helped with cab, scooter, recommendations to near by attractions, how to reach, or any questions you ask. There’s a stream very close to the hostel, behind there’s a field, many cafes nearby. Location is great still away from all noises. Will get a good sunset view and good starry night view. Must visit hostel if you’re in Bir.

The Hostel Stories was a very nice experience! The hostel is in a fantastic location just a few minutes walk from the landing site for exploring the Bir, It is well priced for value and they have a beautiful balcony overlooking the mountains which was amazing. The best part though is the hospitality shown by the staff and owner, Raman was a very kind and helped me out with anything I needed, local recommendations for places to eat and things to try, for any travelers new to Himachal I highly recommend this place as Host will share so much information to make your stay wonderfull, would stay here again when returning too Bir, thank you guys.

It was at a prime location and most cafes and spots were walking distance.

Nestled among the lofty Himalayan ranges the hostel is situated right next to a stream and offers a breathtaking view of the mountains and paragliders gliding through open skies. I was lucky to meet some really good people here who had come from different parts of the country. There were a few foreign visitors too. The rooms have adequate space. Overall my stay here was amazing and I look forward to come back here soon.
