    Cleaniness was okayish and our room had no room. Good to know; lots of (tuktuk) drivers can not find the location so tell them that you stay near the South Gate exit

    Location and rooftop were the best! Really nice. Shower was good, strong and hot. Drinkwater provided and unlimited chai tea. Easy to socialise, so we met a lot of fun people

    Hostel is very close to the Taj Mahal (less than 5 minutes walking). The rooftop cafe offers food throughout the day and has a nice view on the Taj Mahal. For a small extra fee (100 INR) the staff helped me to book a train for my onward journey.

    Amazing terrace in front of the Taj Mahal. Room is a bit small but the beds are more comfortable than the average indian beds we got during our 2 weeks trip! They also have a great cafe with free chai in the morning 🌄 Would definitely come back next time

    My stay here was fantastic, the hostel organised a walking tour of the Tibetan area within Delhi with Sohail which was well planned and an enjoyable experience. The hostel had a great variety of traveller guests, and the room did the job. No complaints at all.

    Only thing I’d fault is the pillows being a bit uncomfortable!

    Location is absolutely fantastic. Right by the Taj Mahal and view from the roof top is potentially the best you’ll get. Food was pretty good at the cafe too. Hot water in the showers is a welcome luxury in India.

    Bathroom could do with a squeegee to get the water off the floor. Another mirror somewhere in the room would be helpful. Another light in the bathroom and extraction for the shower that works. Overall really good, this would just make it better :)

    Easy to get to. Super close to the Taj Mahal - 3 min walk. Nice cafe on the roof with good view of the Taj and tasty food. Really nice, super helpful staff!

    - rooms and bathroom aren't really clean, the walls and cabinets - when you shower the bathroom stinks. I dont know if it is the drain or the water itself - board with things to do (apart from the Taj) would be nice

    - the view of course is amazing, you cannot beat that - free drinking water - hot water for the shower - curtains on the bed - there is a breakfast Buffet that is really, really great - walking distance to the East Gate of the Taj - owner gives out free soup im the evening to bring people together which is nice

    It's a Hostel and you get what you pay for. The room was bit cold. The window was facing the corridor so a lot of light during the night and very noisy in the morning. The place could be a bit more clean.

    Friendly staff with very good suggestions. Great location if visiting the Taj Mahal. Nice roof top.

    The amazing view of Taj makes this hostel an absolute must-stay for backpackers and travels. Good mix of national and international, which I often missed in India. Honestly, the hostel is somewhere between ok and good. The staff is fun, does their job well, no extraordinary. The rooms are clean, maintained, mine was pretty dark. The rooftop is amazing, outstanding beautiful, just because Taj is so close, otherwise again nothing out of the ordinary. Try to catch the campfire vibes on the rooftop during late evenings.

    Room was not very nice. No windows, bad lighting, uncomfortable. Photos on booking and the rooftop are from a different building than the rooms you actually sleep in. But it's not far. In the night strangers were very loud in front of the room and people tried to get into our room at night. But we locked the door so they could not enter.

    Staff was really helpful and friendly Rooftop has a nice view Location is very good. Near taj mahal and near good restaurants
