Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
Great disappointment The staff are liars. I tried to book a dorm bed (after finally I could reach them on the phone), they told me they are fully booked. I had to book another hostel for this night. On the next day I came straight to the HI hostel and I could check in promptly. In the 6 bed female dorm was only one other guest. She told me that she has been alone for the last days. All the other beds have been empty. This behavior is really a shame for the the Youth Hostels Association. Particularly as a german, I feel frustrated, what would Richard Schirrman say to the staff of the HI New Delhi Youth Hostel? Eventually you can see, they have disrespect for ALL nationalities, not only for Afghans or Indians. That’s the only good conclusion about it.
— Anna , Germany (2012-01-21) Awful Place -- worst place i have stayed in India I can't believe that the other reviews are real -- this place is awful. I have been staying in many places in India and 3 different hostels in Delhi. This one was by far the worst. Very unfriendly staff, waking up at 8 am, very dirty, blood and dried puke on the 'clean' bed sheets, rats in the dining hall, location quite but really remote, Internet didn't work and is only available 4 hours per day. Felt like military camp just worse. Don't go. There are many better places in Delhi! — European traveller , Switzerland (2011-02-06) Can't get anything better at that price I visited this place (behind chinese embassy) a week back and stayed for 3 days. i am from south india and i booked a dorm room (rs275 per day) through their online booking almost a month before and everything gone fine. Currently it is refurbished and everything is good. The lunch is expensive at rs75 and dinner at rs50, but this is mostly of roti and dal. They are serving free breakfast which is bread omlet and banana with coffee/tea or bread+butter, banana with coffee/tea option and it is good. The only disadvantage of this place is there wasn't any eateries outside where you can chose your food. There is one small street mulcha marg behind the hostel where some kirana stores type are selling sandwiches and one eaterie selling samosas as well. I can't find anyone serving rice there and there are few restaurants on that street which are very expensive. overall this is a nice place to stay in delhi and the nearest bus stop is chanakyapuri police station just a walk down beside the srilankan embassy (from the youth hostel walk down towards kautilya marg and turn right you can find srilankan embassy on the left side). From this bus stop most buses (620,604) you can go to central secretariat metro. — kumar , india (2011-01-01) Could do better Described as being a "new", it does not appear that way. Rooms are ok and relatively clean. However there is a general malaise about the place. From reception, who will make you wait until they have finshed whatever they are doing before acknowleging you, to the canteen who do apparently do not have milk for your black coffee, the the laundry guy who thinks its OK to knock on every door at 9.00 in the morning, to the broken internet terminals. As of the 5th March they no longer provide lunch or dinner, so if you arrive in the evening you need to eat outside the hostel. There are restaurants close by, however they are expensive so you are limited to a few take away joints, but the signs in the canteen forbid eating food bought outside. Other than that the location is quiet and is closer to the airport than most other choices. — T Collins , Ireland (2009-03-11) Excellent place at Delhi. I m familiar with this Youth Hostel since last decade. This place is well communicated in Delhi. The accommodation and reception are too familiar. Right choice of Visitor/Students. — N.A.Shah Ansari , India (2008-09-22) It's good and comfortable place I think that is very much facilitate one's difficulties of accommodation in such a metropolitan city, but man sitting in receptionist seat is very weird in sense of behaviour and he always not allowed afghans to stay as he lies and pretend there is not any bed even though i have seen there were many beds available. — sekandar , Afghanistan (2008-07-07) Ok for a clean room and good neighborhood This hostel is located amongst the embassy district of New Delhi. It's very close to the U.S. embassy and across the street from what I believe was the Chinese embassy. The rooms are clean but the food in the kitchen is plain. The security guard though went out of his way to help me and there are plenty of auto rickshaws and a taxi stand nearby. Also there is a small market around the corner and some higher end restaurants for the embassy folks if you are looking for Western comforts. They were renovating at the time I was there in March, hopefully they have updated a bit by now. If you just need a clean room for the night or a few nights it is not too bad. — PJ Polo , USA (2007-12-14) Human approach needs a drastic makeover. What is the use of giving out a contact number if there is no one to attend to it? Even if the hostel is full, the caller needs to be provided full attention and information about the date of the next availability and options. — Ravinder Malhotra , Indian (2007-06-11) I had a membership card that expired without me ever staying there. Not that I didn't try! Every time I used to go there they used to turn me back saying that they were booked. However if you are white, chances are you'll be welcome. I think India is the only place in the world that disrespects their own citizens! The only possible reason I can think for this is that India is a country that has always been colonized and this slave mentality is in the psyche of most Indians. — Dr. Maajed J. Wani (2007-01-28) Its one of the best hostels in New Delhi -- clean, hygienic, cheap and in the best surroundings. I had a wonderful time staying there. — Md. Arshad Rahman (2006-09-21) Great place to be in Delhi, especially when you’re new and ignorant of the other places. Very clean, great hospitality, but other than breakfast the rest of the food needs improvement. But it isn’t a problem cause you come to Delhi for work and rarely have time to have food in hostel. Anyway, it’s the best. — Dr.Santosh Hiremath (2006-07-06) good facilities but the number of the rooms should be increased as we don't get the booking. and one should know that it's the capital of the country and one who wishes to travel north would always make it a centre as the transport would favour them. — neha prakash (2006-05-25) Good food and a nice clean place. I really enjoyed staying there. — Jordan (2005-03-09) It is really good and convenient. — Vishwanath (2005-02-02)
