I had an amazing experience staying at Abuzz Oxfordcaps Simla! The view from both the roof and the windows was absolutely stunning. The location of the hostel was also perfect, as it was not very far from the Shimla ISBT, making it very convenient to get around. Plus, the breakfast was amazing—definitely a highlight of my stay. Highly recommended!

All hostels in Shimla

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.

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. 🏨🌟
