The Hosteller Shimla

Nice views. The location to the Mall is excellent if a little steep. The bed was comfy.

The best thing about this hotel is its location. You can reach the town in just 2-3 minutes on foot. The staff are also very kind and provided lots of information about Shimla. Personally, I was pleased that there is a water dispenser on each floor.

Being myself an avid traveller and as distinctly silent that I try to remain with my travels, this place is definitely one of the shout outs to everybody. This memo may be a little more than just brief so read it at your time constraint risk. Begining with how to reach at this property is definitely a task and the whole mechanism that hosteller follows to escort its guests to the premises is definitely a pain for the guests, nevertheless, so the episode began when satyam (excuse for the names) called and with his gesture, i honestly wanted to burst out all my lungs on him, having ofcourse travelled almost 500kms to reach nowhere close to the property. Episode 2, we climb up the everest given our metropolitan lives and saw a yellow colored glowsign spreading the relief of having reached close to your evening bed, drenched in sweat irrespective of the weather, you'd realise, for some odd reason the staff takes the hostel feeling quite judiciously, so you'd have to engage yourself to get water and reach the room after the tedious process of just submitting your id's. However, except for the ones said above and a few coming later, there comes the perks of the property which is its evenings. A special mention again to satyam who's ofcourse a gem came up with his aura on the terrace where the hostel magic happens. I'd keep mentioning random names I got acquainted with and you can keep following up for your stay. Rituraj, the man, you may not be able to cope with his vibe and will struggle initially to step up his length but once you do, he'd make sure that whatever is wrong in the property is compensated by him alone, absolutely not out of place to mention that he's the big bro you always want around in the hostel to get things fixed, sweetest of gesture he did supplement though was that he along with Bodhraj ji and the chef sab, made sure we had a take away food parcel for the roads (ofcourse complementary).

The exceptional staff especially AASHISH who helped us out with our schedule in terms of booking transportation not just in Shimla but also in other cities that Hosteller is running services. As a traveler in India, it's sometimes quite challenging organizing all the transportation and payment but AAshISH really put his heart into helping all travelers & tourists as well in this region. What makes a huge difference between accommodation is the people behind it.. Food in the cafe was MESMERISING & DELICIOUS...Rana the cafe manager handles very well. .The chef was even Amazing.

The manager and staff are very helpful and friendly. They will help with any problem you would have. Games and cards are available for the guests to use. Breakfast and food in general is good, albeit a little pricey. Better to explore nearby cafes and restaurants. Mall Road has some good places for food. I think the distance from Mall Road to the hostel was just good enough, apt for a morning walk. Most places are easily accessible.
