Zostel Srinagar

I can’t decide what the worst thing is about this place, so I’ll let you decide: - The fact the owner is one of the most arrogant and insufferable men you will ever meet. He is constantly arguing with guests and trying to scam them. He ever swore at me, after which another guest intervened. - The fact that the hostel deliberately overbooks every day so you might turn up to find another guest in your bed and be charged 500 rupees to sleep on a sofa in the common area - The fact the management tries to cancel your booking or say you’re a no-show so that they can avoid paying taxes and fees - The fact the dormitories stink of sh*t and are filthy even though this is one of the most expensive hostels you could stay in - The fact the bedding is never changed (a pillowcase if you’re lucky, but let’s hope there aren’t any bedbugs)
