Worth knowing before you book

  • Breakfast isn't included in the room rate. The in-house café is pay-as-you-go.
  • There's a lift, but the roads right by Laxman Jhula are narrow and one-way, so a cab may not be able to reach the door. Ask your guide (host) about the last stretch.
  • No on-site parking. Paid public parking is available about 150 metres away.
  • The in-house café is vegetarian and self-service, in keeping with the hostel's backpacker culture.
  • Guests with local IDs are allowed.
  • Towels, toiletries, dorm-room locks, laundry and room heaters are available for an extra charge through the property's own app, not automatically included.
  • Quiet hours run 10 PM to 8 AM.
  • Hot water runs 24 hours a day.
