If you're a solo traveler seeking the ultimate hostel experience, look no further! My stay at this hostel was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm that instantly made me feel at home. And the people here, the hosts are amazing! The vibe here is unbeatable – it's lively, yet cozy, with just the right balance of social interaction and personal space. Whether you're mingling with fellow travelers in the common areas or unwinding in your own pod, there's always a sense of camaraderie that permeates the air. This hostel is the perfect place for vibing. I can't wait to return and soak in the incredible vibes all over again!

The hostel has a very welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff and a helpful property manager. The food is excellent, cleanliness is always maintained, and Wi-Fi connectivity is smooth. As a student, I never faced any issues, and having Swiggy and Zomato working perfectly was a big plus. The location is also close to beautiful scenic spots, which makes staying here even better.

Amazing property in Shillong. I liked the common room, and the space outside. Location is about 2 km from police bazar, one can use rapido for travelling around the city, or ask for Scooty rentals from the hostel itself.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The property is premium and has every facility needed. I celebrated Diwali over here with a couple of friends I made in this hostel. I had some great conversations and memories. When you’re a female solo traveller the quality of stay you choose really matters. I was the only female in this mixed dorm of 6 and I’ve never felt safer!!
