    None.

    It was like being with a family. I got home-made food to suit my requirement, which is rather demanding, no chilli, little fat, lots of cold coffee. Really enjoyed my one-week stay..

    The approach and frontage can do with improvement.

    It was a pleasure to interact with the entire Khanna family ( the owners). They were attentive, courteous and helpful at all times. The rooms were clean and food offered was home cooked and hygienically presented. Excellent location overlooking the majextic Ravi river

    Chamba kitni dur.. yes it is but Proto Hostel made the journey worth it..The hospitality..good human nature the kindness.. the love and affection is something that just stood out and differentiates you guys from the rest.. there was no match to it and I'm saying this coz I've travelled across so many regions met so many amazing good people but it was way too different this time..and I'm happy that Chamba is so unexplored and untouched.. It's the people who will make your stay worthwhile.. So to begin with it's a perfect stay if you are looking to work from a peaceful place.. with an amazing view right from your dorm bed.. trust me you'll feel so blessed when you wake up to that view of river and mountains.. Mann hi nahi bharta usse dekh k n neither I got bored seeing it everyday.. it's perfectly located I'll say not too far or too near from the market.. just where it needs to be away from the crowd at the same time.. it's easily accessible from the main market you get buses which will drop you right outside the hostel.. stayed there for a week and still felt that's not enough.. for people who look forward to work from mountains I think it's one of the best places to work from out of all the places I've visited so far.. the internet is good they have wi-fi too which is good.. they do have power backup just in case.. they have good workcation packages too which will not burn a hole in your pocket.. the food is quite pocket friendly and is served fresh.. Ajith will never say no to any of your requests if you want to have something any time of the day and that too with a warm smile.. he puts in so much effort and love in everything that he cooks.. the hostel is just impeccably clean.. the washrooms too even though there are shared washrooms it's just super clean.. the dorm beds are very comfortable.. also every little detail is taken care of right from the switches to the security of the hostel..

    Proto hostel is the first and for now the only hostel in chamba town and what an amazing job rudraksh had done in providing this kind of option for travelers and backpackers. the hostel is quite new so it looks beautiful and is well-maintained. the 6-beds dorm was cozy and had a nice view of the ravi river and the surrounding mountains. the beds are comfortable, there are lockers and even an air-conditioner. there's also a really pretty rooftop restaurant and another workspace for digital nomads and others who want to work remotely while enjoying nature. rudraksh the owner is a very special guy, kind and wise, and i had really interesting conversations with him about chamba, life and everything in between, plus he can help you with all the information you need regarding traveling in chamba valley. although the hostel is not located at the heart of the city but on its outskirts, you can easily catch a bus, take a taxi or just walk to the center so it's not a big issue. overall an amazing experience, and for me even a surprising one considering the fact you generally don't find these kind of high-end hostels in remote places like chamba

    Amazing host and hostel all together. Proto Hostel genuinely care about you, and want you to have the best experience. They helped to organise my motorcycle trip, as Sache pass was closed. They were well informed and had lots of knowledge about motorcycle trip in India. Great hostel, clean, well maintained, good food. This is the place to stay if you are a biker of traveller going to Chamba.

    It was a great stay. The host is amazing, really helpful. He even helped us with booking taxi and dropping us off at the taxi stand. He knows the city well and gives great travel advices. He creates a very comfortable and homely environment at the stay. Wifi and the food was also great. Really happy with the overall experience.
