I recently stayed at Freebird's Nest Hostel and had an incredible experience. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, perfect for meeting fellow travelers. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help with recommendations for local attractions and activities. The dorms were clean and comfortable, with cozy beds and plenty of storage space.

The communal kitchen was well-equipped, allowing for easy meal prep, and the lounge area was a great spot to relax after a day of sightseeing. Plus, the location was unbeatable—close to public transport and major attractions. Overall, Freebird's Nest Hostel exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, budget-friendly place to stay!

    I recently stayed at Madpacker 2.0 and had a fantastic experience. The hostel was clean, comfortable, and had a friendly atmosphere. The staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. I especially enjoyed the small get-togethers they arranged every noon and night, which made it easy to meet fellow travelers. Overall, Madpacker offers excellent value for money and a welcoming environment. Highly recommended for budget-conscious travelers!

    It was the first solo trip of my life and I was really scared. Fortunately, Soul Hostel really helped to calm my anxiety. I stayed in a mixed dormitory for a week and not once I felt unsafe. There were friendly people around in case of an emergency and you get all basic facilities here. I will definitely book my next stay here. You should go for it without any second thought!

    The whole vibe and people at the hostel. This is how hostels are supposed to be; a community centre to meet new people, learn from each other's experiences and share joy. Loved interacting with Tej, Rahul and Komal. Nicolai was soo full of life, he brought soo much energy to our evenings. It was one of the best hostel stays in recent times.

    It was my first time in a dormitory style stay. I only wish I could spend more time here. Even though you meet new people every day, you will certainly end up missing the place and the people. My best trip ever thanks to this beautiful stay at The Hosteller. Thank you team from the bottom of my heart.
