"The dormitory is beautiful and probably the best I've ever been in. Had a Scandinavian feel to it as spacious and clean. Bathroom also spacious. However mostly male staff work here and they just walk into the all female dorms. One knock and they come in. Also when being cleaned through the day the doors are left open so rooms fill with mosquitos. You try and explain this and they can't understand English. Also no curtains for each bed so no privacy. Also serves meat at the hostel which I find...

"Staff were very helpful and friendly. It’s a compact room, one can get everything required. Breakfast was enough, one can get all the basic and some Indian item too. It’s very convenient for US consulate trip. Only thing to point out is the suction for exhaust need cleaning, all dust settle there. On arrival one of the pillow cover was dirty, I was given fresh pillow cover at my request. Overall it was good stay."

Top India Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La Eros, New Delhi

8/10 Good

"very good and staff very friendly"

Aurika, Mumbai International Airport

10/10 Excellent

"As a Canadian family travelling through the country, this hotel was exceptional. It was pristine, clean, and well located. We felt relaxed and safe. The staff were fantastic. The food was exceptional with multiple options, and a great bar on the property. The gym and pool were excellent. Book it, you won't regret it."

Hyatt Regency Kolkata

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable beds. The king bed was spacious enough for two of us and our young child. For our other kid they set up a comfy roll away bed. And the room was still spacious. Staff very helpful and efficient. We checked in at midnight and they were quick and accommodating! Breakfast buffet was the highlight! Wonderful spread and amazing staff!"

Moustache Udaipur Verandah

10/10 Excellent

"The Verandah is excellent value in Udaipur. We booked a king size room with a balcony overlooking the lake. The views were wonderful. The room was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was good with hot water for the shower. The restaurant was good and the breakfast including the coffee which was excellent. The location is ideal for visiting the city's key sites, many in walking distance or a short auto rickshaw drive away. It is located in an area that cars cannot access so you have to plan to use a rickshaw to reach the property. The staff were the highlight however. Pretty much everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful. Nimmi at reception was a particular standout. She was cheerful and helpful on every occassion. Overall highly recommend this property!"
