    The check in process is too long , never experienced so much details when you check in after a long drive , also the bathroom taps need maintenance

    Good location if you have a vehicle

    The morning cafe opens only at 9am. Until then you dont even get a cup of tea or coffee and since the property is available in the middle of a coffee plantation, no tea or coffee place is available outside. The cafe is shut between 4 and 6pm when most people want to have a hot tea or coffee. The food is overpriced is what i felt. Only vegetarian options are available. I had also requested an early drop to the main road at 8am after checkout, but nobody was available even at the reception desk. The place has huge potential to be a great hostel given they make certain improvements.

    The location is really good. In the middle of a coffee plantation, you might have to walk from the main road for 700m if you are a solo traveller by bus, but the walk is really worth it. Good for having a night bonfire and fun

    There were a lot of spider-webs in the common area. The washrooms were clean but had a few broken things.

    Very clean and comfortable beds in the dormitory. Amazing location and surroundings. Great uninterrupted WiFi. A delightful common area with a billiards and a foosball table. Food availability in-house.

    Road The approaching road is quite messed up. The place would be more welcoming if it had a better path. Internet The connectivity is poor in the area and the Wi-Fi isn't consistent or reliable. It definitely not meant for a staycation. I struggled to do the web-checkin. Maintenance The place can certainly do with some upkeep and maintenance. Bolts and nuts are missing in the washroom, windows and the paint is chipping off in corners.

    The Location It's quite, peaceful and very serene. Signboards The frequent signbords are a reconfirmation on the broken little road when one visits first. Especially true during night. Staff The staff polite, welcoming and warm. It was a very pleasant experience.

    There was no food. Nearest food joint was 5 kms away. Rooms were not 5000 worth. I would say 2000.

    The exact location of the property. Inside an estate. The staff was very helpful.

    The bedsheet and pillow covers were little smelly. It seems like it was because of the dampness and moisture. Would recommend the hostel staff to keep more air freshner and use fabric conditioner for good smell of the blankets and towels provided.

    I liked the location it’s really good to travel around from this hotel. The staff was good and the crowd too.

    However, the hostel's downfall lies in its pricey food options, which can strain your wallet. Additionally, its remote location, far from the city center, can be inconvenient for those wanting easy access to urban amenities.

    This hostel truly stands out with its spacious rooms, allowing for a comfortable and relaxed stay. Its lush green surroundings create a serene atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding. What's even better is that it offers excellent value for money, making it a top choice for budget-conscious travellers. Overall, a delightful experience amidst nature without breaking the bank!

    The location is far from the centre of the city. At night it feels scary. As it is far from city so less crowded.

    The hostel offers ample space, providing a comfortable and roomy environment for residents. Coupled with a beautiful campus and attentive staff, it's a truly delightful accommodation choice.

    Backpacking culture is in initial phase here and there were not many solo travellers.

    This is a newly built hostel and place is pretty cool with pond view. Dorms here also contain balcony with good view. Common area has music, fooseball, snooker table and projector. All the staffs were good and helpful. They have vegetarian menu and they cook delicious food.

    Over priced, they provide only few food items, no tiffins are provided only Maggie and poha as light items. Food is also over priced. And at night time they play fast beat music with high volume in calm place as a disturbance to the wild life living there and to people who want calm environment.

    Good ambience,good rooms nd good bed and good bathroom. Good place to spend leisure time. We can order food and they prepare it on time. Had a good place at the terrace to sit and chill with friends.
