Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Stayed here for 4 nights. Even extended our stay because we liked Shimla and the BnB so much. The private room was just what we needed and cheaper than a hostel dorm. They served you food if you wanted to your room which was fantastic. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful with anything we came to them about. Couldn't recommend more!

    Grateful for the exceptional hospitality at Hostellers by Aashish. The warmth and homely service provided by Chef Ajay, staff members Abhishek,naresh,Rahul & Vikesh and F&B Manager Rana Ji make us feel not just like guests but cherished members of an extended family. Our stay has been marked by a sense of safety, genuine care, and moments of true happiness. Kudos to the staff for creating a home away from home. 🏨🌟

    I liked the location of the hostel type guest house. As it's very near to Mal road, about 10 minutes walking distance, but with very steep slope, not comfortable for Senior People, or with heart and lungs problem. But the rent per bed is very cheap compared to other nearby hotels. One can take tea/coffee free and paid breakfast, lunch, dinner. It's safe to stay here.
