Very good location, perfect if you want to explore town from a somewhat more "easy" part of Delhi. The building is new, very clean and the staff has been great. They also serve breakfast, coffee and thee for if you want it. There was also a nice outside area. Overall I enjoyed my stay here and am going to come again in January.

Amazing stay at the Sleepy Fox 🦊 Location is great : quiet and safe neighborhood, with nearby market/ shops/ fruits sellers. Comfortable and very clean hostel, I loved the big bathroom in the 8 bed dorm. The common area very cosy, balcony and rooftop. You can have home cooked food as well. But the best is the people running the place, Anu and her mom are just the loviest persons you will encounter. Always helpful and smiling 🙂 some long term guest also made the place feel so alive and funny. I felt so home and safe !! I can only recommend this place Thank you 🙏

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.

    Stayed in "6-bed mixed dormitory room", quite cheap and practical stay in Paharganj! Clean and comfy beds, located in a quiet backside street away from noise, big lockers, well-functionning hot water, electric plugs and wi-fi. Good budget hostel located near many restaurants and only one minute walking from metro Ramakrishna ashram marg. Thanks!
