This is literally a hostel u would have for ur college everything in it and around it(including food) is dirt cheap. Maybe cleanliness is not premium but in my case bedsheet were(for all i cared) but blanket wasn't to which i requested for a switch which was happily honored but to a blanket just as marked (like the one before) Location is absolute premium it is close to everything relevant. If u travel and as long as u carry blanket and bedsheet of ur own ull be fine Washroom was well managed there were bunch of them on each floor. I liked my stay for the price I paid. Every foreigner complaining in reviews are entitled expecting hilton. And claims of they being rude is just pahadi way of conversation common in whole state.

All hostels in Shimla

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit 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. 🏨🌟
