Located in New Delhi, within 4.9 km of Humayun's Tomb and 7 km of India Gate, The Hosteller Delhi provides accommodation with a restaurant and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive.

Great location, really pleasant and clean rooms/beds, but the thing that makes this such a good place to stay are the staff. (Specially Mr. Robin) All of the people are incredibly helpful and generous with their time and advice. Thanks for making our visit to Robin that much better.

ホステルが本当に気に入りました。とても安全な地域です。ホステルでの滞在が本当に楽しかったです。 I felt like I'm at my home and surrounded by loved ones. I really enjoyed my stay in the Hostel. It's in the Very safe locality. I felt very safe as a Solo Female Traveler. I requested for the Room with the big Washroom, Gaurav and Grish were so co operative to accommodate me in the last minute. My room was super clean. I really loved the Rooftop, it is a good Social Place to Hangout. The Staff helped me for everything, They booked a train and Suggested me Hostels in Other Cities. I feel so safe that, If I need any help I would reach out to them 🩵 Best part is the Long Staying guests, treat you like their own Guest.

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.

    This property is situated in the lively heart of Paharganj, surrounded by vibrant energy and bustling activity. It is budget friendly. You will get fresh towel and a bottle of water. It is a good touch for bunk beds. Has a nice rooftop with a restaurant which can send you food in your bunk bed. They have good masala tea. Metro station is 8mins away. Very easy way to access the rest of delhi. They have late check in access and the manager was very helpful with calling my bus operator to make sure where i get dropped off.

    Big room and everything worked on ok. It was also clean and not noisy. I had no huge expectation of the hotel as it was budget and only required for 1 night before flying home. The tuc-tuc driver said the hotel was in a rough area. This wasn’t true and we felt perfectly safe going out at night to get food.

    The property is a very good location. The community center is barely 100 metres away. The closest metro, Sukhdev Vihar is a 10 minute stroll from the hostel. One can get any thing that they might require during their travel at the community center. Coming to the hostel, the staff is very interactive and helpful. Mohit, the property owner, is very humble and kind towards all his guests. Possibly, one of the best hostels across India.
