9Verified guest“I keep coming back for city trips. The staff were helpful and gave me a local food delivery number. It had everything I needed: free Wi-Fi, an electric kettle, a leisure room, hiking, a picnic area, and board games. A great stay with no regrets.”
9Verified guest“The hostel had a cozy, friendly vibe that made me feel at home. The staff went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable, treating guests like family. The location was peaceful but close to major sights, and the common areas were great for socializing. One small thing they could improve is giving clearer directions for first-time visitors.”
9Verified guest“I loved the outdoor chill area with the hammock at Mars Monkey. Our room was spacious, clean, and the rooftop had nice views. I enjoyed late-night card games with other guests and Vishal. I recommend this lovely spot.”

9Verified guest“The serene location among mountains and greenery gave a peaceful vibe. Rooms were clean and affordable, and the common area was perfect for late-night get-togethers. Vishal, the host, was welcoming, and the delicious, budget-friendly food from Manjit Bhai added to the experience. The property also has a lovely dog named Coco, which was a delight. Cons: nothing but excellence!”
