Best hostels in Bangalore: find options near you

I had an absolutely fantastic 15-day stay here. As a solo traveller, finding a place that is clean, safe, and comfortable is a top priority, and this place exceeded my expectations.
The housekeeping team is brilliant – my room and the bathroom were cleaned daily without fail. The linens were also replaced regularly.
Common areas are huge plus. There’s a quiet and peaceful library which which was perfect for me to get some work done and ready. The rooftop terrace is a great spot to relax, unwind and chill in the evening.

Recently stayed here for a week. Really good place to stay for solo travelers. It’s neat and clean ans I kept like that by the team on a daily basis. The rooms and bathroom are spacious as well. The beds are good and there is a locker beneath the bed as well.

There is space in the Rooftop with games and seats to chill out and a library to read/work.

Overall a really good place for stay.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel and would rate it 5 out of 5 stars. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and quite comfortable, which makes it a good option for solo travelers. The food was a wonderful surprise—I tried the chole bhature and it turned out to be excellent, better than I expected. The staff were polite, supportive, and even helped me with an early check-in on request, which made my experience smoother. The rent is reasonable, so overall it feels like good value for money. The only drawback is the check-in at 2 pm and check-out at 11 am, which is inconvenient for travelers with early arrivals or late departures.

Room was decent, with comfortable and clean bed. However, we did feel that the pictures were quite deceptive. There was absolutely no natural light which made the room feel a bit like a closet. It could definitely benefit from a fresh coat of paint. The bathroom was small and could have been cleaner, but overall decent.
To sum up, great location and decent rooms but overpriced considering the current level of maintenance.

Excellent stay! The staff was incredibly attentive, especially at the front desk, and the room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet had a great variety. My only minor issue was the firmness of the pillows, but overall, a fantastic experience. I would definitely return!”.

Location was the best. Price for a shared room booking was at par considering the location. Rooms were clean and well-maintained. Staff was courteous. Initial registration process was cumbersome. And wifi was an issue.

If you are on a short solo trip and won’t spend much time in the room, this is the best place to be.

I recently stayed at HostellerBrogade road, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome. Check-in was smooth and efficient, and the front desk team was both friendly and professional.

The room was spacious, and thoughtfully designed, with a comfortable bed and quality linens. I appreciated the attention to detail—from the complimentary bottled water to the neatly arranged amenities.Every staff member I interacted with—from housekeeping to restaurant staff—went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable.

Location-wise, it’s conveniently situated near major attractions and public transport, making it an ideal base for both business and leisure travelers.

Highly recommend Hosteller to anyone visiting I’ll definitely be returning.

I had a really good stay at The Hosteller. The property is clean, comfortable, and has a nice vibe to it. The staff members are super friendly and helpful, always making sure guests feel at home. It’s a great place to relax, meet new people, and enjoy the surroundings. Definitely one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at — would love to come back again!

I recently stayed at The Hosteller Koramangala in an 8-bed mixed dorm, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. The property is clean, vibrant, and thoughtfully designed, with a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The beds were comfortable, the dorm was well-maintained, and the common areas were perfect for relaxing or meeting fellow travelers.

The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always ready with a smile, which made the stay even more memorable. The location is perfect close to cafes, nightlife, and everything Koramangala has to offer, yet still peaceful enough for a good night’s sleep.

This was more than just a stay; it was a wholesome backpacking experience filled with great vibes and wonderful people. Highly recommended for solo travelers, groups, or anyone looking to explore Bangalore with comfort and style. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The overall experience staying in this hostel has been amazing. The staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean, few rooms are very spacious to keep the luggage’s some are small.|Manager Pankaj, has been a great support and help 24×7. He was just a call away. The front desk team Anuva, Akash has been great in fulfilling the smaller needs of the guests.|The location of this property is one of the best and affordability of the bunk bed is another positive aspect one can consider.|The crowd is heavy over the weekends. ||Book it without hesitation as the main USP is cleanliness and affordable accommodation with Comfortable AC cool rooms.

The rooms were great! cozy and comfortable, and the washrooms were super clean – only two issues we faced were some odd odour from the towels and the air conditioner having a drip issue, but the service was great and the experience overall was amazing.
Definitely going to visit next time as well!

I had such a lovely stay at this hostel! The staff were very welcoming and always ready to help, which made me feel at home right away. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed—perfect for meeting new people. The location is also great, with easy access to everything I needed. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling through, and I’d love to stay here again!

I stayed at The Hosteller for 6 nights and had a really good experience. The place was clean, well-maintained, and had a great vibe throughout my stay. The staff were friendly and always ready to help, whether it was with local tips or small requests. The common areas were a great spot to meet fellow travelers and unwind. The beds were comfortable, and the overall atmosphere felt safe and relaxed. Definitely a great spot if you’re looking for a comfortable and social stay. Would recommend it for solo travelers or anyone looking for a chill place to stay

The rooms were decent. We booked a two-person room on our first night and it seems a bit small for the price. The accommodation otherwise seemed pretty good. Rooms were clean, had privacy even for shared rooms(dormitory) too.

It was our first hostel experience, and it was pretty good. We took a deluxe room and it was clean and well kept, also with a table to work on, overall service was great with a cafe on the ground floor. The location was amazing close to a lot of eating options. Will recommend!

Great stay experience. The service here is none other like any hostel, they clean the room 4 times a day, never seen anywhere else. The food is like home and the service very quick. There are lots of different activities going on throughout the week and community manager is top notch, makes everyone new really comfortable and breaks the ice for everyone. One of the best hostel experiences:)

Absolutely loved my stay here! The vibe was super relaxed, the staff were friendly and always ready to help. Everything was clean, cozy, and well-kept. Met amazing fellow travelers, and the common areas made it easy to connect. Great value for money and the location was spot on. Would definitely come back again!

I stayed here for 30 days and loved every inch of it. The staff is super friendly, helpful and very prompt on all requests. I had subscribed for a monthly plan for dinner and I won’t be exaggerating each day after my meal was done the chef would very politely come and ask how the meal was. When I fell sick due to changing weather he made sure I found comfort in the food. For anything I would have to just ask and the team made sure it was done be it hot water or any room

I had an amazing stay at The Hosteller Bengaluru, Indiranagar! Everything from the ambiance to the cleanliness was top-notch. The place has such a chill and welcoming vibe – perfect for solo travelers, digital nomads, or anyone just looking to explore the city with ease.

The rooms and common areas were spotless and well-maintained. The interiors are thoughtfully designed, and the vibe is modern, cozy, and social without being overwhelming.

The location in Indiranagar is fantastic – close to great cafes, pubs, and public transport. Whether you’re working remotely or just unwinding, it’s got the right energy. I also appreciated how friendly and helpful the staff were throughout my stay.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a clean, vibrant, and friendly stay in Bengaluru!

Have been staying here for a month and it has been one of the most comfortable stays in Bangalore! The rooms are clean and checked on multiple times. The food packages are reasonable and the best part is how dedicated the Chef is. The staff is super friendly yet very cordial Wazir from the team provided the best service I have ever received from any hotels. The property has a vibe that makes it adventurous yet so homely. I have to travel to Bangalore often and this property is totally my stay of choice

Been staying at this property since really long. There is a reason I keep coming back here. Love the vibe here. Annie (Community Manager) is a vibe. So good to have her here. Brings smile on everybody’s faces. Staff is very helpful. Amazing food. Would definitely recommend

It was a wonderful place where everyone showed understanding and respect towards each other. I had a fantastic time and enjoyed the atmosphere so much that I did not want to leave. The experience was truly special. They have their own kitchen with a limited menu, and the prices are very reasonable. Staying with strangers was a completely new experience for me. I would definitely want to come back here.

I recently stayed at Zostel and had a fantastic experience. The property was clean, comfortable, and had a great vibe perfect for both relaxing and meeting fellow travelers.||A special shout-out to my host, Ankur Kumar, who went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. He was extremely friendly, approachable, and always ready to help with local recommendations and travel tips. His warm hospitality made me feel right at home.

Not a Place That Understands Hospitality

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience left me no choice. I had high hopes while booking this hotel, expecting a decent stay and respectful treatment — but unfortunately, what I experienced was the complete opposite. The overall atmosphere was cold, uncomfortable, and lacking the most basic sense of hospitality. The staff, especially those at the entrance and security, behaved in a way that made me feel like I was doing something wrong just by being there. Their tone was not only impolite but also passive-aggressive, as if they had a problem with guests who didn’t fit their “local” expectations. It was disappointing, even a little shocking, to witness this kind of attitude in a hotel located in Bangalore — a city that welcomes people from all parts of the country and the world. The purpose of any hotel is to make people feel at home, regardless of where they’re from or what language they speak, and this place failed completely in that regard. I wasn’t expecting luxury — just decency, kindness, and professionalism. Sadly, none of those were present. I checked out not just with bags, but with a lingering sense of discomfort. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who expects even the bare minimum of respect and courtesy from hotel staff. There are many better places to stay — don’t waste your time or energy here.

One of the Most Unpleasant Hotel Experiences I’ve Had

This was honestly one of the worst and most uncomfortable hotel experiences I’ve ever had, and I travel frequently. From the moment I stepped in, there was a strange lack of warmth or hospitality from the staff, especially the security. Instead of being welcoming or helpful, their tone was cold, dismissive, and frankly, rude. It felt as if they had no interest in making guests feel comfortable — and instead, acted as though they were doing us a favor by letting us stay. In a city like Bangalore, which is known for its diversity and openness, I never expected to be treated like I didn’t belong just because I wasn’t local. A hotel should be a space where people from different backgrounds, cities, and even countries feel safe and respected — but this place had the opposite energy. Their attitude made the stay incredibly tense, and at no point did I feel like a valued guest. Basic hospitality, respect, and professional behavior were completely missing. I usually don’t leave reviews, especially negative ones, but this experience was bad enough to warn others. If you are someone who expects polite service, professionalism, and even a minimum level of courtesy, I strongly suggest staying away from this hotel. Absolutely not worth the money, time, or mental stress.

I stayed at this hostel for 3 nights and it was very pleasant. The buses are walkable to get to, the metro station was 20 minutes by foot, and you have everything you need within a few metres. Sujan was really helpful and made sure everything went smooth for the guests. Toilets and beds are cleaned and changed everyday and the rooms were tidy. They also have a cafe with a decent amount of options to choose from. Highly recommend.

The hotel itself is actually quite nice — clean rooms, good amenities, and the staff at the front desk were polite and helpful. The food was also decent and location-wise it’s pretty convenient.

However, the security is a serious issue. They were rude and unprofessional throughout our stay. What made things worse was that they kept insisting we speak in Kannada, even though we clearly told them we didn’t understand it. It felt unnecessary and uncomfortable.

It’s a shame because everything else was good, but the behavior of the security staff completely ruined the experience. Management really needs to take this seriously. Until then, I wouldn’t recommend staying here if you value respectful treatment.

Extremely Unprofessional and Unwelcoming

This was by far one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I’ve had. The staff, especially the security, were shockingly rude and unprofessional. Instead of treating guests with basic courtesy, they created an uncomfortable and unwelcoming environment.
As someone visiting from outside the city, I expected at least respectful treatment — but was instead made to feel like I didn’t belong. This is not how hospitality should work, especially in a city like Bangalore that sees people from all over the country and beyond.
I do not recommend this place to anyone who values respectful service and a comfortable stay. Definitely not worth the experience. One star is generous.

This is my first time staying at the hostellers. I had such an amazing experience. I stayed 1 night at their 4 bed dorm which was clean. I moved to a private room for 3 nights. The room was clean. Getting any kind of room service was quite seamless and can be done through their app.
Only issue I saw is for whoever stays on the 6th floor. 1 floor above this is the common area for people from the stay to socialize. This gets a little noisy especially beyond 11pm. But that is quite ignorable with my general experience with the place.
I would definitely recommend this place to people who are looking for a pocket friendly stay. I hope to stay here again on my next trip. 🙂

My stay at the Hosteller was absolutely fantastic! The hotel’s design is elegant and modern, and the rooms are impeccably clean and well-appointed. The staff, especially the front desk team, was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my check-in and check-out a breeze. The breakfast buffet was delicious and offered a wide variety of options. The hotel’s location is also perfect, with easy access to downtown and all the major attractions. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay

I had a fantastic stay at The Hostellers near Manyata Tech Park. The dormitories were exceptionally well maintained—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully organized. It’s absolutely worth the money, especially for solo travelers or professionals looking for a convenient stay near the tech hub.

The 24-hour active common area was a major plus, perfect for relaxing, working, or socializing at any time of day. I also appreciated the availability of clean drinking water and the overall hygiene throughout the property.

What truly stood out was the great service and hospitality. The staff were welcoming, responsive, and always ready to assist with a smile. Highly recommend this place for a budget-friendly yet high-quality stay in Nagavara!

I had a great stay at this hotel! The staff was friendly and attentive from check-in to check-out. The room was clean, spacious, and well-maintained with modern amenities. The location was perfect—close to major attractions and public transport. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of delicious options. The gym and pool were also well-kept. Overall, a fantastic experience and great value for the price. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area and would love to stay again.

Absolutely great. I’d recommend this to anyone who wanna stay for a short period near Manyata tech park.

Loved the cleanliness and atmosphere.

To all the upcoming guests – Please maintain the decorum so that everyone can have an amazing experience here.

I had a great stay at the Hosteller. The ambience was pleasant, and the room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The location is convenient, being close to Manyata Tech Park. Overall, the hosteller was well-maintained and had a nice, welcoming vibe.

Great experience. Good rooms luckily we were group of 4 and we got the same room. If you’re ok with sharing rooms this is a really good place to stay when travelling at reasonable prices.

Stayed at goSTOPS Bengaluru in Gandhi Nagar (Majestic) and had a pleasant experience overall. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the bus and railway stations, making travel super convenient. The hostel has a colorful, vibrant vibe with common areas to relax and meet fellow travelers. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms are decent for the price, though cleanliness could be improved a bit and ventilation in bathrooms needs attention. Great value for budget travellers and backpackers who want to stay in the heart of the city.

This place is super perfect for people who is okay to stay in a dormitory. The room is clean and neat. The service they offer is also fabulous. The building is old.. but they are trying to maintain it as good as possible . Dormitory of room containing 6 bed and 8 beds are there. There is a chilling area present at thr ground floor. The rate starts from 450 rs for dormitory for one night. Rooms are also available.
The only concern that i had was about the locker key that they provided during my stay.. this key can be used to unlock all the lockers.

This place is super perfect for people who are okay to stay in a dormitory. The room is clean and neat.Some mention minor cleanliness issues in bathrooms. Overall a good value for money.

The stay was good. But They haven’t mentioned that parking is not available and pointed out that they haven’t listed parking as one of the amenities. However, in a city like Bengaluru, details such as the availability of parking should be clearly mentioned, especially for first-time travelers to the city. It’s a basic yet important piece of information. When I raised this concern, the person in charge simply said that I could pay and park in the next building, which felt quite inconvenient and unexpected.

This is hands down one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The place is full of ridiculous rules and overhyped claims that are completely baseless. Having to unlock the door through an app is just frustrating and totally impractical. The security is laughable.

You’re not allowed to bring food into your own room, and if you ask for a plate, they refuse and instead charge extra—seriously? The room itself is in terrible condition. No TV, no cupboard, a bed that feels like it’s on the floor, and electrical switches that make no sense—turn on the fan and the main light comes on too? Absolutely absurd.

For a place charging ₹3000, this is a joke. I wouldn’t stay here again even if it was free, and I’ll make sure everyone I know avoids this place too. This place doesn’t even deserve 1 star, but since I can’t give 0, 1 it is.

I had a wonderful stay at GoStops, Gandhi Nagar, Bangalore. The dormitory was really nice and comfortable. Each room was well-planned with 6 beds, personal cupboards, and a neat attached bathroom. The beds and rooms had sufficient space, which made the stay convenient.

The service and overall hospitality were excellent, and the staff was very helpful. One of the best parts was the availability of 24/7 Wi-Fi, which added to the comfort.

All these facilities together made my stay a perfect experience.

Everything was very good- room, staff, food and service but only thing i faced was a theft.
all the lockers have same key to open, they have a very secure lock pass to open the door that is only via through their app but the lockers aren’t safe at all, i had kept my wallet inside a bag in my locker, i never took the bag out, i stayed there for 7 nights, after few hours of checking out when i checked my bag to get my wallet it was empty. please keep your belongings with yourself to be safe

Great place to stay!
I stayed at Serenity Rudra Hostels for 3 years and had a really good experience. The place is clean, the veg food is tasty and well-prepared, and any issues I faced were resolved quickly by the staff. It felt like a safe and peaceful second home during my college life. Would definitely recommend it to others!

While approaching them they are looks very good however when it comes to refund they are not seen any where, you can’t contact. If you delay payment just by one day they charge late fees but there’s a delay of more than 3 months, no contact, no refund, false statement on their app that issue has been resolved but you keep getting late fees msgs even when you are not occupying the hostel.
Not recommended at all.

A good gated secure hostels for girls situated just behind the back gate of Christ University / college. The place offers food and lodging on twin sharing, single triple sharing. They have a central kitchen supplying many of their properties and individual kitchen too. The place has a theater, a gymnaesium and a small swimming pool on the top floor. They have wardens and curfew time of 9.30 and 10 pm for all girl inmates .A safe secure environment for children to stay and study, especially convenient for Christ students .

I’m a final year student at Christ central campus and have been staying at Serenity Girls hostels for the last 3 years now. The rooms are pretty nice especially the apartments style ones, in which I stayed although they are a little overpriced but worth the facilities and security they provide.In the last 3 years my warden Kavita, has shown extreme sincerity towards any inconvenience faced by any student and has taken actions to fix them. I did liked there gym,well equipped. And the food has been decent most of the time. Overall it has been a pretty smooth and pleasant stay at serenity hostels.

My stay at Serenity Hostel in Bangalore has been one of the most comforting and secure experiences I’ve had. This isn’t just a place to live — it genuinely feels like home.

The food is a standout here — freshly prepared with a changing menu that keeps it interesting and wholesome. It’s simple, nutritious, and reminds you of a home-cooked meal. There’s never a feeling of eating “hostel food” — it’s made with care and it shows.

What truly sets Serenity apart is the warmth and sense of community. Festivals like Pongal, Holi, Eid, and Christmas are celebrated with full spirit — complete with decorations, traditional food, and a togetherness that makes you feel included and cared for.

A moment that really touched me was when I tested positive for COVID. The hostel team didn’t treat me like just another resident — they treated me like family. They made sure I had hot food, timely medicines, and regular sanitization, all while checking in on me constantly. Their care and support during that difficult time is something I’ll never forget.

Clean, safe, and full of warmth — Serenity Hostel truly lives up to its name. If you’re looking for a peaceful, respectful, and genuinely caring environment in Bangalore, this is the place to be.

Its great experience staying at serenity. The facilities are well-maintained, and the atmosphere is safe and comfortable. The gym is well-equipped, perfect for daily workouts, and the pool is a great place to relax. The rooms are clean and spacious, with good security. The common areas are lively, making it easy to socialize and make new friends. The staff is friendly and always ready to help. Overall, a great place for students and working professionals looking for a balance of comfort and convenience

I had a pleasant experience staying at Serenity Empire. The location is incredibly convenient, especially for students of Christ University, being just a short walk from the back gate. The hostel offers a wide range of amenities like Wi-Fi, a gym, gaming areas, and even a swimming pool — which really sets it apart from many others in Bangalore.

The rooms are well-furnished and regularly cleaned, and the biometric attendance system along with 24/7 CCTV provides a strong sense of security. I also appreciated the professional housekeeping and the availability of common spaces where residents can study or relax.

Overall, Serenity Empire is a solid option for students looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of premium hostel living and one of the best in Bangalore.

The checkin and checkout was smooth enough, but washroom wasn’t clean it was too slippery could have been far better and the beds weren’t that clean too and vibe was average tried interacting with a few people but most were weird.
The best part the hostel is located in a prime location and is nearby to many places and it’s sort of okayish if you’re on a budget just keep a bedsheet if you’re bed isn’t clean and their top floor has good games

There’s a lot of potential to improve

The best part about the stay were the hosts Karan and Niran such joyful people , Made me feel like home, about the stay it’s almost perfect there is room for improvement , this is my first time hostel experience , will always be a customer of Zostel for the way it is maintained and mainly because of the hosts . I even met the owner Mr Tarun everytime he visited the property always projected a very positive vibe.

This is a message to all Zostels out there make sure you hire the right hosts .

The property managers are available round the clock, helpful and accommodating to requests. The stay was pleasant. Would definitely recommend for solo or travellers in a group alike.

Zostel i stayed in the place for more then a week They don’t know the value of hospitality in this hostel the way they manage like a children first problem one they through my food management don’t wan reply they put blame on me I ignored
But today morning someone in the same room wake me up and threatened me I came down to complain there is no value response they saying they don’t have any responsibility y single people who travel come to hostel for safety they tel me I have to vacate the hostel
As a backpack traveller for me zostel is not safe for women in this hostel there is lot of post no alcohol every day people drink alcohol in the hostel do shit
As a request to zostel franchise please clear the issue otherwise I take to social media same zostel not giving to safety
I never gonna visit see the pictures no clean room when I ask about hygienic they say vacate and i al vacating the place right now because my peace is important
Please change the management

I had initially booked the female dorm, but the conditions were quite poor. The bathrooms were unclean, and I had to shift once because I was told the dorm was under maintenance. Even after moving to the new dorm, the washroom became clogged the very next day. Though I had planned a 5-day stay, I checked out early due to a change in plans. While the morning manager assured me of a refund, I haven’t received any. I understand that Zostel typically has a no-refund policy, but it was disappointing to have the manager promise a refund only for the backend team to deny it later.

Business vibe, because Bangalore, so I cannot complain.

Because of the location of the Zostel beside the sewage filled stormwater drain – there are a lot of mosquitos even after the Zostel people provided mosquito repellant.

But the biggest issue I have is with mold (possibly very injurious to health) in the bathroom! This picture is from the bathroom in room First Crush on first floor.

I had a great experience staying at Zostel. It was my first time stay at any hostel. The rooms were exactly like the photos on the site—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The bathroom was spotless, which was a big plus. The staff was extremely polite and helpful, always ready to assist with anything. The location was excellent, with plenty of good restaurants and breakfast places just a short walk away. Overall, it was a really good stay, and I’d definitely recommend it to others!

Good points
• The price is affordable.
• The staff are kind.
• They explain the rules via WhatsApp, which is very helpful.
• There is a lobby available for guests where you can relax.
• There is a water dispenser, so I had no trouble getting drinking water.

Bad points
• Although mosquito repellents are provided, there were still many mosquitoes. I killed about twenty in three days.
• There are not many shopping places within walking distance.

I went to Locul for the first time. It feels so cozy and homely there. I booked one of the beds in their female dorm and private rooms. Both were great.

You get an outdoor sitting area, an indoor sitting area, books to read, and games to play on the ground floor.

On the first floor, there’s also the balcony sitting area, the indoor sitting area, and a kitchen with a stove, microwave, and dishes. You can cook vegetarian meals there and boil eggs.

They also provide complimentary coffee and tea sachets, which was a nice touch.

It would be nice if there were another female dorm and the lighting were better in their private room.

Other than that, I think it’s a great place to meet new people, make friends, and make new memories. Will definitely come here again the next time I am in Bangalore.

I recently completed my stay at Locul Uptown during my training period in Bangalore, and I must say, it was an excellent experience. The management team, especially the reception staff, were truly outstanding — incredibly supportive, attentive, and always ensured my comfort was a priority. Their warmth and professionalism made my stay feel like home. Special thanks to the front desk team for their consistent help and kindness throughout. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed place to stay

This place is absolutely amazing — the location is perfect, the staff are warm and welcoming, and the best part? The building is right opposite the house of our KGF star, so you might just catch a glimpse of him too!

I’ve stayed here multiple times, and it truly feels like a second home away from home now. Interestingly, on my first visit, I wasn’t sure how I felt — it was a bit too peaceful for me. But by the next day, I had fallen in love with the place. It has a unique charm that no other place can match.

You get a fully functional kitchen, a fridge to store your food, and even a lovely home-like setup with a kettle, dining table, chairs, library corner, and a water filter. The garden area is beautiful and peaceful, perfect for some quiet time.

The staff are fantastic — Abhik is a wonderful host, and Suman is extremely humble and helpful.

A few things to keep in mind before visiting:
The nearest metro station is just 1.7 km away.
Places like Cubbon Park, Chinnaswamy Stadium, and Mount Carmel College are nearby. Even the airport isn’t too far.
There are no shops right next to the building — you’ll need to walk around 500 meters to find one.
That said, the location is very safe and peaceful.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay away from home but still experience the warmth and vibe of home

Good location, and good value for money. They are doing systematic with online registration and apt rules. Sharing common resources such as sofa, sit outs, wifi, common kitchen, frig, smart card room access, etc

Absolutely hidden gem amongst the neighborhood place .. so serene, calm and professionally far away home feel. Been associated more than a year for 4 times..

It’s a nice place to stay. The only issue I had was with the dust near my bunk bed. It seemed like that area had not been dusted in months, and since I have dust allergy, I spent an entire night sneezing.

Other than that everything else is good. Good comfy beds, decent washrooms. It’s a clean, safe space to chill, and even make some new friends.

No hostel available at the location. New building constructed in the same place.

The Food here is very yummy and you lunch and dinner at mere cost of Rs 40 only. The food and place is very hygienic. Very good for solo travellers and also for working people who can fulfill their food requirements at a very low cost.
I did not stay in the Youth Hostel so I cannot answer about the rooms.

The hostel have mosquitoes. It’s not a good place to stay like home. We should not wash clothes were the condition. Need to take out of the hostel for washing them. However the Bathrooms were clean. The bed rooms are small with 8 beds. Actually 4 one over the other. It will be counted as 8. The beds are not clean (dusty). But it was Rs. 200 per day when I went there.

It’s a moderate place to stay here.But Locality is very good. It is near Cantonment. This hostel is very good for economy. Charge for one bed is 200 in Dormitory and one Dormitory have 10-15 beds up and down. You can also book a room for two or three persons separately. Food facility is also available here at paid.

The infrastructure is very poor compared to even domestic standards.Cant compare to International standards.No power back up. Toilets and baths are attached and very tiny. You can’t use bath once other hosteller has used latrine. Scarce connectivity.NO LOCKERS and no security to stop one hosteller from harassing others.Door slamming and mobile loudspeakers make the hostelling experience a true hell. The yhai reputation will be gone if the current building and management continues. I would recommend putting a few bucks extra and staying someplace else.

Good place for students. The dorm is very affordable at 200 per night for members and 25 rupees extra for non members. Dorm is maintained properly, but washroom could have been more properly maintained ( I think a big fault is from the part of visitors, not the staff). The facility is good, given the price. But unlike the popular hostel like zostel and backpackers panda (less than 400), it does not have all day access to power, hot water, cozy common room, and wifi. For locker room, hot water and wifi,you have to pay 20 daily, 10 per 10 litres and 20 per hour respectively.

If all you are looking for a budget place in bangalore, then probably consider it. Few plus points are it is very close to the camtontment railway station, cheapest option probably and clean rooms. Though the washrooms aren’t that clean and lack basic facilities, also they don’t prepare food if they don’t get minimum orders which is usually the case. :/
