Unfortunately, the staff were not helpful at all. We had to come back three times for every issue (Wi-Fi problems and air conditioning) and were also woken up in the evening to be invited to a party?! The kitchen staff were particularly unfriendly. They didn't even provide us with paper cups, so we had to eat our pasta out of cut-off plastic bottles. We were also bothered by the beds. You can't block the view of your neighbour and there is no cover from above. Never again.

I stayed in the hostel for a month and by the end was quite disappointed with the overall hostel experience. Firstly, if you are a backpacker I wouldn’t recommend as it’s mainly domestic tourists who are there for work so not a travellers atmosphere. Whilst I was staying there, the hostel randomly closed for three days. Bearing in mind I had payed for my whole trip in advance and after a day trip I arrived back at the hostel at 10pm to find it closed. There was no pre warning and I was told ...

The staff was not helpful at all, as I made a mistake in my booking and wanted to do early check out, they were not flexible. In hostels we come up with flexible travel so flexibility should be there with booking also. Was not expecting this service from delhi as bangalore Hosteller was much more professional and friendly staff.

This property is only good on paper but when you actually stay there, there are weird rules on timings of the cafeteria. Additionally, the airconditioning does not work and despite many complaints the hostel did nothing about it, probably to economize its costs.

Beware ! This is not a hostel for international travellers nor for backpackers! While The Hosteller chain has many good hostels around India, THIS PROPERTY IS CERTAINLY NOT ONE OF THEM. This is a good place for Indians and Indians only. It makes a good co-working space for Indians. 1- Worst location in Delhi for a hostel. The hostel is located in a highway you can’t walk anywhere not even to have a snack, the only good thing though is that it’s close to a metro station. As a internatio...

Pros: good hostel facilities over all Cons: in my 6 years of backpacking, this is hands down the absolute worst hostel location I’ve ever been to— ever. It’s on a highway intersection. I walked and walked in all directions but it was either all just wall and road or dingy old random repair shops here and there. This is NOT a good place to come explore or walk around to see the city— it’s all just nothingness and depressing. It is close to the metro but even then it wasn’t even wor...

Nice hostel but there were a couple of odd things - there was a pile of chips packets and rubbish in our dorm when we checked in, and for some reason they decided to clean the bathroom at midnight. Overall a good stay though.

Had a great stay at The Hosteller Delhi. Clean, well-designed spaces, a lively yet comfortable vibe, and genuinely helpful staff. Smooth check-in, good rooms, and consistently clean washrooms. Well-located and easy to get around from. Definitely a solid pick for both solo travelers and groups.

Je suis resté 3 nuits dans cet hostel et c'était une bonne idée car il était propre et le dortoir pour 4 était confortable avec assez d'espace pour ranger ses affaires en sécurité. De plus, le personnel était accueillant. Ils proposent à boire et à manger et si c'est fermé il y a un supermarché ouvert 24/24 juste à côté de la station essence. La station de métro est à 5 min à pied.

I stayed 3 nights in this hostel and it was a good idea because it was clean and the dorm for 4 was comfortable with enough space to store his things in a safe. in addition, the staff was welcoming. they offer drinks and food and if it is closed there is a supermarket open 24/24 right next to the gas station. the metro station is 5 minutes walk away.

Hôtel correct quand on est juste là pour une nuit. Beaucoup de bruit (du à la grande avenue qui passe juste au pied de l’hostel) sinon c’est propre, les parties communes sont agréables.

Translated to English

Lots of noise (from the main avenue that passes right at the foot of the hostel) otherwise it's clean, the common areas are nice.

The hostel was exceptionally clean, and the food was quite good. The overall staff were friendly and accommodating, making the stay pleasant. However, one team member, Abdul, truly stood out — his warm smile and positive energy were contagious and made a lasting impression. He transformed what might have been an average three-star stay into a genuine five-star experience. I would gladly stay here again in the future.

Amazing staff and well-maintained facilities but if you are looking for a backpacker and social vibes, this hostel is not for you. 90% of my room mates were locals who were not considerate, talking loudly and talking on loudspeaker phone until early morning. Stayed here twice and on both occasions, had to tell my roommates at 1 am to lower their voices as we are trying to sleep.

I had a great stay at this property, and Dheeraj is a true gem in the hospitality industry. I fell ill, and he ensured I got proper care and even followed up on my recovery. Sandeep was also helpful with check-in. However, one issue needs improvement—hot water stops at 11 AM, though staff says you can request it. Realistically, waiting an hour isn’t convenient. Fixing this would enhance the experience. Overall, excellent hospitality, and I’d definitely return!

Sandeep at the check in was very helpful and attentive to any of my needs. The hostel was clean, secure and in a good location in south Delhi. It has a cafe which serves good food and several large places to chill out. There were events most nights to meet other backpackers.

Overall a good chain hostel for a few days. There is no social atmosphere so don't come expecting to make a lot of friends. The location is not ideal as the hostel is right next to a highway but there is a metro station very close and Ubers are affordable. I didn't like that you have to pay the full amount in advance online through the hostels own website which also charges you some hefty credit card fees. Just charge my card like every other hostel.
