Wow Backpackers Hostel Reviews

The "Wow" in Wow Backpackers Hostel refers only to its name and not its amenities, which are disappointing. Its rooms are more like private rooms with air conditioning, and not exactly like dorms provided with air coolers. It has a common kitchen. Surprisingly, there’s no common area for entertainment.

The Location

Wow Backpackers Hostel is situated at Nimak Mandi in Amritsar, and is located around a market area, which makes it noisy in the afternoons. The surrounding area is not great. It nearly takes forty minutes to get from the Amritsar railway station to the hostel; tuk tuks are available. The Golden Temple is nearby the hostel and so it is convenient for travelers to see the glory of the place nearby. There are also many other places to visit nearby.

Rooms and Bathrooms

Wow Backpackers Hostel has both dorms and rooms. Only private rooms are provided with air conditioners and the dorms do not have it (they are provided with air coolers instead). The dorms have bunk beds. The rooms are quite dungeon-like and not kept tidy. The bathrooms as well are not clean and they are small in size.

Common Spaces

It has a common area with a television. There is a common kitchen provided and there is not much exciting stuff related to the common area for entertainment. It could be better with indoor games or book exchange area organised in this place for travelers to have a good, pleasant time around the place.

The staff are keen on promoting their tourist packages for visiting the sights and once you do not agree with it, they start behaving ignorantly. There are only two staff members, only one of which knows proper language.

Summary

Overall, this experience is not great and many amenities provided must be maintained properly to satisfy travelers. Only the name sounds fancy. Travelers are more disappointed with the service and that no entertainment is provided and that some staff members are not polite enough to handle the people who come for a stay. Their main motive seems to be to convince guests to accept the tourist package, and if not, they seem impolite.
