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.

    Probably the best hostel in Delhi. Superb team of friendly, helpful staff, a very sociable atmosphere, with close proximity to Laxmi Nagar metro station, from where you can explore all of Delhi conveniently and cheaply. Lively street outside has a great selection of budget street food and events/tours are on offer most days. The perfect base from which to explore Delhi.
