These guys run an awesome hostel. I stayed in a nice air conditioned room, and made a few friends in the hostel. Raja gave me a towel, cold drinking water, and a coffee in the morning, and he helped me so much with my exit permit application – even after I’d left the city. So glad I stayed at this hostel. It’s bohemian for real.

I liked the place from the moment I entered it. It is pleasantly clean and beautiful. Really clean! I felt at home right away and was welcomed by a nice guy called Pradipta. He was super helpful with answering all my questions, showed me around, gave me a warmer blanket and made lots of cups of coffee and tea for me with a friendly smile. I couldn't not be happier after a long journey on a rainy day. They also gave a free quiet room to teach my online lesson and that was incredibly nice of them. This morning they also helped me to cancel one reservation on booking.com by using their phones what took some time to do. Wow! What great help! Will definitely come back.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at HOTEL BENGAL, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The location is perfect, offering breathtaking views and convenient access to local attractions. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with elegant decor and a welcoming ambience. The staff at HOTEL BENGAL are incredibly FRIENDLY attentive, always going above and beyond to ensure guests have everything they need. The room was immaculate, spacious, and well-appointed with all the modern amenities one could wish for. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the linens were of the highest quality, ensuring a restful night's sleep. I came here for my USA Visa Interview on 23 July, and i got my visa . This place is lucky. I'm from Nepal.

Absolutely loved my stay here! The vibe is warm, welcoming, and full of good energy. The dorms are clean, comfy, and thoughtfully set up, and the common spaces are perfect for both chilling and meeting fellow travelers. What really makes this place special is the people. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, always ready with local tips or a smile, and the owner clearly puts heart into every detail. It’s more than just a hostel, it genuinely feels like a community. I left with new friends, great memories, and zero regrets.

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.

The hotel staff and management is very friendly, helpful and generous. They talk very politely with guests. The hotel bathrooms are clean with 24*7 hot water. The hotel rooms are clean and nice though it's a dormitory. The hotel is located in a busy area and you can get all types of transport nearby. Beds are bit hard but manageable. It's a safe place to stay. The hotel is equipped with fast wifi connection. The hotel is fine for solo and family travel as they have a private room with a private bathroom as well I think.

I had a fantastic experience at City Central Hostel! The dormitory-style setup was surprisingly comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The location was ideal, right in the heart of the city, making it convenient to explore. Clean facilities, vibrant atmosphere, and budget-friendly – I'd definitely stay here again!
