Landing at Laxman Jhula puts you right in front of the hostel
Tell your host how you’re arriving and they’ll arrange the last leg for you.
Worth knowing before you book
- 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 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.
