Zostel Kasol (Katagla)

+ I recently stayed at Zostel Katagla, and it was honestly such a beautiful experience. The property is located near the serene Parvati River, which makes the whole stay feel peaceful and refreshing. One of the best things about the location is that all the popular cafés are within walking distance, so you can easily explore without worrying about transport. The overall vibe of the hostel was amazing, very social, lively, and perfect for meeting new people. The Zostel Café live music event added so much charm to the experience. The atmosphere during the event was vibrant and super enjoyable. It really gave that classic Kasol backpacker feel. Overall, it was a memorable stay and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Kasol and looking for a chill yet happening place to stay.

- The only downside I experienced was regarding the room heater. I had requested it in the afternoon, but received it only late in the evening. Since the full amount is charged for the heater, it would have been better to have access to it for the entire day.

+ Zostel cancelled our online booking.

+ It's located near the Parvati river, at the end of the road right next to the forest.

- The approach to the hotel is very inaccessible. Either you carry your own luggage or pay a porter to deliver your luggage to the hotel.

+ I liked the dormitory and the library.

- The receptionist was very rude and didn't know how to treat guests with hospitality. I got a call from him on the day of the check out, he made one day extra booking rest everything was superb.

+ Everything. Especially the owner Saumya Sachdev , she is so welcoming and make sure for the comfort of her guests.

+ Location

- Overpriced cafeteria .. no room service .. no in house kitchen.. no activities for engagement.
