Set in Mukteswar, 29 km from Bhimtal Lake, Zostel Mukteshwar offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Good for people looking to stay in a hostel, which is what Zostel positions itself as. However, anyone renting a room does not get the privacy and silence expected in a hotel. The property is located on the road with the noise of passing cars and trucks. Also, there are people loitering and chatting loudly right outside your room window. So, you just can't take a simple nap until late at night.

All hostels in Nainital

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, really pleasant and clean rooms, but the thing that makes this such a good place to stay are the staff. All of the people are incredibly helpful and generous with their time and advice.

    Nice hotel! Great hotel. Everything was nice. Me and my colleagues would surely choose it again. If you want to explore Nainital or Kanchi Dham in Uttarakhand, then it's a great location to stay at Nort Woods. It's in the middle of nature, comfortable rooms with great service and friendly staff. Good value for the money. Food was delicious. Very comfortable. Would definitely recommend Thank you!" Nearby areas to explore: Bhimtal, Nainital, Kanchi Dham, Almora, and Ranikhet, Mukteshwar.
