- Avg. price/night: US$59.13Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.7Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 933 reviewsgreat hostel, exactly what you’d expect from a backpacker hostel. Great common area (games room, guest shower, terrace with kitchen). Really makes for a relaxed atmosphere. we stayed for holi, and when things got a bit rowdy in town we came back here where there was a really nice party (very safe, with checks of who was allowed in and who not). the people who work there are super friendly and accommodating for traveler’s needs (clear info and help, even provided extra soap and towel to use for our post holi shower). highly recommend!Guest review byANNELIESYoung couple

Beautiful pool and very kind and smiling stuff! It was more an hotel than hostel! Good wifi connection for us, digital nomads! The location was pretty good!
