We checked in early. The care-taker was humble to make the room ready for our stay. We checked in and the rooms were clean. Linens were laid. What caught my eyes is the wall-art, the cielings too were done the same way. What I liked is, our rooms were on second floor where they have covered the verandah and given a great sit-out zone. Piled up with mattress and how much did we enjoy our hookah and daru session here. Ofcourse post 10pm the guy did not let us play music thanks to the tough cop check around the are. It is very near to the Bhagsu nag temple and the staff is friendly too. The Terrace has been converted into a rooftop restaurant which is a cute little place to enjoy your food. Either on the table or the Indian way floor sitting style diner. ||||The prices are too economical. The only challenge was from the bhagsu parking you have to walk and its a steep walk.

However, they will always offer to help you out, by offering to pick you up or help you with...
Read moreWhen we arrived here in the cold night the staff was very nice and friendly. Even providing a small heater without extra charge. The room was clean, the hot shower working and we had a god night here. So far so good. ||||But the next morning came with a nasty surprise. At 9.30 (we were making ourselves ready) someone came banging, really hard on our door and YELLING: check out, check out! Check out was at 10 am btw. We were stunned by this. Why the need to do something like this? We felt very bad about the way this hostel is managed and this was the bottom line of what hospitality in India can be. ||||When we wanted to pay by card, they made a big fuss about it and were not too happy about it, though when we booked they asked for credit card detail through Booking.com.
