    There is no view, and if your travelling with aged people, 2nd floor can be quite a climb.

    4 of us stayed at the family suite , which is large and spacious but very basic. there is no lift, and tea/ coffee maker or kettle unlike a hotel. what lacks in amenities has been compensated by the ever smiling and helpful staff, with especial mention to Vicky. Other staff Rajender, were extremely helpful too, and went out of the way to ensure a comfortable stay. i would give more than 10 to the staff. Other great things going for the place is the proximity to the temple and shopping bazaars. If your not keen on ambience and amenities, and looking at a budgeted stay, this place is highly recommended.

    Here's a sample good review for Hotel Backpackers Nest: *5/5 Stars* "I had an amazing stay at Hotel Backpackers Nest! The hostel is perfectly located, with easy access to public transportation and all the major attractions. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always willing to lend a hand or offer recommendations. The atmosphere was lively and social, with a great communal area for meeting fellow travelers. My dorm room was clean and comfortable, with sturdy beds and secure lockers. The bathrooms were also spotless and well-maintained. But what really made my stay stand out was the excellent service and attention to detail. From the free breakfast to the organized events and activities, the team at Hotel Backpackers Nest truly went above and beyond. I would highly recommend this hostel to any backpacker or traveler looking for a fun, social, and comfortable place to stay. *Highlights:* - Perfect location - Friendly and helpful staff - Clean and comfortable rooms - Great communal area and social atmosphere - Excellent service and attention to detail *Will I return?* Absolutely!"

    I had an amazing experience during my stay at Backpackers Nest Hotel. The staff, especially Manav and Prince, were outstanding. Manav went above and beyond to ensure our safe arrival, even guiding the auto driver over the phone and sending another staff member outside the hotel to assist us. The hotel is incredibly safe, especially for women, which was very reassuring. The cleanliness and hygiene were impeccable—I’d give it a solid 5 out of 5. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and secure stay!

    Mainly what is reflected in the booking reviews as if it is a place that gives value for money, it is not. I took a room for two days and left after the first night. I took their best room hoping it would be ok. A feeling of suffocation in the room, a smell of urine in the bathroom (I did not try the shower...) a window that does not face the view of the city as it should be for an abandoned building 1.5 meters from the window. I've already given up on breakfast.

    nothing,

Truely genuine people. The room was super clean. I loved how the staff was always helpful and not too nosy about everything; would love to stay back again. The place is safe for solo women traveller too..

    I couldn't find anything

    The Backpacker's Nest is really a comfortable stay. It's so close to all the main sites of the city. The main Market also surrounds the place. You can go shopping, if you feel you have a lot of shopping bags, come back to the hotel keep your bags in your room, have a breath and start it again 😃. And the staff is very helpful. Thank you guys.

    The beds were too hard and there was a kitchenette in our room which was unclean and giving off a bad sewage smell. There was a large window over the kitchenette which had no curtain so let in too much light in the morning.

    The staff were really nice and looked after us. The facilities seemed nice and room was spacious. The location was very good.

    The place was in a Hotspot. Just a stone's throw away from Partition Museum this place is a hidden gem. I went in mid January, and it was very cold and foggy the entire day. Although non veg food around this street is less, it has a lot of vegetarrifood options within 100m. The road is aesthetically beautiful. The staff and the manager were extremely sweet and nice and dealt with any issues I Had very promptly. The staff were well behaved and it was a safe place to stay which is quite important as a solo female traveller.
