It’s okay but be aware there is no heating here. They can offer extra blankets but it can get very cold and wet.

Had a wonderful stay at The Hosteller Shimla. Beautiful views, peaceful vibe, and amazing food. Huge thanks to Sunny, Hritik, Gunsham, and Santosh for their warm and helpful service — they really made the stay special.The hostel is clean, comfortable, and well-run. The only downside was a few loud dorm guests switching on lights at night, which wasn’t the hostel’s fault.Overall, highly recommended. I’d love to come back!

I was traveling with a leg injury and couldn’t move around easily — but the team here went way out of their way to take care of me. They carried my wheelchair, helped me get around, and even came to pick me up from the Mall Road whenever I needed. Every single person was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely cared about my comfort and well-being. If you’re looking for a place where you can truly feel comfortable, supported, and surrounded by people you can trust — this is the place.

Really wonderful location and stay in Shimla. Very courteous staff. Clean. Hosteller in general seems to lack the social environment of non-chain hostels, but it a quality stay nonetheless

the hostel is situated very close to the town centre. The rooms are nice and everything was clean. The food served at the cafe is really nice and the staff try to help as much as they can. would stay again.

This hostel is clean and the staff are friendly. As a chain of hostels it does lack personality. The check in is a slow process which is frustrating. It’s also hard to contact the hostel directly before arrival without having to go through their automated system which is not very helpful and feels very impersonal. Overall we had a pleasant stay but could have done with a more personal experience rather than having to use the online concierge.

Solid place to stay in Shimla for a solo traveller. Bit of a walk to get to, but other than that very solid place 👍

If the hostels are located in hilly areas then they should provide heaters and better rooms were expected

Nice room and facilities, great rooftop with a cafè with beverages and food. Staff is polite and works hard to keep the hostel clean. The location is a bit of a walk from the centre but it's worthy

Property super clean, really nice beds and showers. Staff really helpful and booked a taxi to bus station for me which was a lot cheaper than I was expecting. Be prepared for some serious hills to get to the hostel but the view of Shimla makes it worth it! I would definitely go back

The first room we received had a really thick wet air in it, and the walls and roof had black mould. We made the staff aware of this issue, and they moved us to another room without caring about the black mould. When we received our new dorm room, we got the exact same result - intense black mould on the roof, and the smell of this and the sewage from the bathroom met us. (Picture as documentation available) The staff didn’t seem to care, and left us with the room. (Contact for more)
