The hostel is in a great location, close to the train station and lots of great places to eat nearby. But that's the only strong point. Everything else is average at best. The place needs renovation, WiFi doesn't work, cleaning in the shared bathrooms could be improved. But the location is great. So if you are looking for 1 night near the station - this would do.

The uniqueness was the hotel location and the hotel had absolutely wonderful beds (mattresses.) However, it does not rate as a "4 star, in no way... The top rating would be a '1' star maximum.. I have traveled the globe worldwide (to 113 countries) so I do know what I'm talking about! Also, the hotel owner had cameras everywhere, almost like spying on the guests, which was most unpleasant, but the hotel staff, they were wonderful...

ok!
Location is good, near the main train station and bus terminal but tuk tuk driver said far and ask for 300Rs. Dorm room is relatively small for 4 persons with luggages. Have enough toilets and shower cubicles. Have a rooftop but nothing to see. Free breakfast.

Top-quality service
The location is great if you want to be near Fort railway station. It is within walking distance to the beach as well. The service at check-in and check-out was excellent. They were friendly, helpful, and quick. We had to check-out in the morning before breakfast was served, and the desk clerk had even arranged for box breakfasts to be ready for us. We have a 3 year old, so not having to worry about finding food that early in the morning was quite helpful. The only minor issue was that the bathroom looked a little past its prime. The shelf in the shower was rusty and it looked like the toilet had been repaired without properly cleaning up the adhesive.

professionally run
great location, close to bus or train station, walking distance or take a tuk tuk for 150, no more. staff is great and very helpful. lots of staff, even on every floor. not sure what people complain about the breakfast for?? probably one of the best breakfasts I'd had in any hostel, anywheres. wifi is very good, beds are comfy, AC works well, and towel included. It said locks were available for the locker but I had my own, so I'm not sure if you had to rent it or not. Only had hot water 2 out of 4 times, yet people had hot water the same day, so I guess it was luck of the draw. No windows in the rooms, which I prefer because it stops the traffic noise, and light from coming in. One guy was smoking in the room when I checked in so I'm not sure if this is allowed, or he was sneaking it

Airco was broke, so we moved rooms, but then there the airco also broke down. In addition there was a girl in our room that seemed to live there. It was all a bit weird. But location is good, and the staff is really nice.

The room smelt musty. It was good that there was lockers in the room. A weird stain was on the wall next to the air con. Only one female shower. And not super clean. It's fine I you only need to spend one night. The driver collected us from the airport which was a gread and even stopped at the train station for us. The check in was great and we were well greeted.
