Do not stay here! Couldnt recommend it less! BEDBUGS! Checked in, the location is far out of the way and 15/20 minutes minimum to get anywhere. The crowd wasnt very social and weird vibe. People also seem to be living there as well? Meant to stay a couple of nights but on the first night realised there were bedbugs in my bed - they moved me and checked out first thing in the morning. Absolutely do not stay here! Ive stayed in hostels all over the world and this is the worst one so far!!!

This is a nice hostel and the staff are nice however I couldn’t enjoy it much due to bed bugs. The bathrooms aren’t clean either. Nice vibes but not there on the hygiene front.

They should put in board which says "Dogs & Indians are not allowed. Dirty place to stay. They don't clean comforter for months. Also, if you are Indian don't go to this place because no one is going to entertain you. Finding bedbugs everywhere is common here. I stayed here for one month on weekdays but I wasn't staying here on weekends. The only reason I stayed here because of blue line metro and nothing else. There staff Pawan (Tony) who is Bengali refugee of Bihar threatened me to not book at there place, if I book they will cancel my booking. The only reason I found is I wasn't partying with them and spending money unnecessarily. Anyhow I talked to there owner Arjun also, but he also denies. I am ashamed that he is from BITS. Such an ordinary place with full of attitude. Last but not the least for foreigner guest: people who make approach to you for tour in Delhi at this hostel are biggest scammer.

Perhaps the worst hostel I stayed at during a month trip to India. Dirty, bad location and while some members of staff were helpful, the overall bro-ish vibe was just something to be avoided. Toilets and showers are unhygienic, and pretty sure there’s also bed bugs here. Spend a few more rupees and go elsewhere!

Do not book the private room - not worth it. Had bed bugs, and although things looked clean everything smelt like the drain. Every room also has the same code so if you’re a solo female traveler it may be safer to get a shared room. Cockroaches were also crawling around in the kitchen. The environment of the place overall did not feel clean. There is absolutely 0 sound proofing. On the bright side though the staff were friendly and there was 2 nice living areas for travelers to hang out.

Great spot - out of the way, but near a big metro station so can easily hop on the metro or get a tuktuk. Staff are nice, helpful and organise really sweet tours to bring everyone together, it feels like a safe haven. The hostel looks closed from the outside, but just ring the bell. Only issue was cleanliness. Mouldy walls and the private room we booked was very dirty. On the last night we found a bedbug, and they just didn't seem bothered. Doubt they'll fumigate. Dorms may be cleaner though.

Vibe-analyse
Joey's Hostel New Delhi kun je het best lezen als een sociale budgetbasis bij metro Laxmi Nagar, met een rooftop, common areas en activiteiten die het makkelijk kunnen maken om andere reizigers te ontmoeten. De signature wall geeft de plek een scrappy backpacker-community gevoel, en de metroverbinding is de praktische win: door Delhi bewegen is vanaf hier simpeler dan de eerste indruk buiten doet vermoeden. De sfeer kan werken wanneer de crowd aan staat: rooftop chats, walking tours, food outings, dagelijkse activiteiten en meestal vriendelijk personeel horen bij de goede versie van Joey's. Ontbijt is soms een plus, al is het ook wisselvallig geweest, en de setup is meer ruwe backpackerhub dan gepolijst city hostel. Faciliteiten zijn de tradeoff. Het gebouw is gedateerd, schoonmaak is een terugkerend probleem, en badkamers, beddengoed, geuren, AC-regels, water, wifi, lockers, gordijnen en kamerbeveiliging kunnen ongelijk zijn. Privacy in female dorms en comfort voor solo-vrouwen vragen voorzichtigheid, vooral rond mannelijk personeel dat kamers binnenkomt, niet-afgesloten deuren en lokale mannen in common areas. Kies Joey's voor goedkope metrotoegang en een mogelijke sociale scene, niet voor een schone, stille, strak gerunde reset.

- AC draait mogelijk alleen op vaste tijden en kan onbetrouwbaar zijn.
- Badkamers kunnen vuil zijn, stinken of te weinig water en warm water hebben.
- Sommige dorms missen goede gordijnen of sloten, en privacy in female dorms is een probleem geweest.
- Lawaai kan ruw zijn vanaf de weg, rooftop, common spaces en late beweging in dorms.
