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.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at J House near Bhikaji Cama Place and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed by my experience there. The hotel is conveniently located in close proximity to some of the major tourist attractions and also diplomatic offices in the city, making it an ideal choice for travellers who are looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay. The rooms were clean and spacious, with all the modern amenities one would expect. The bed was comfortable and I had a good night's sleep. The staff were friendly and attentive, always eager to help with any questions or requests I had. Overall, my stay at J House was an absolute delight. The combination of excellent facilities and friendly staff, along with its great location, makes it a top choice for anyone visiting the city. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in New Delhi.

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.
