I would rate this property 10/10 for cleanliness. The room was excellent, featuring a good quality mattress and blankets. The washroom was spotless and well-maintained. The property is conveniently located, just a 10-minute walk (less than 1 km) from popular tourist spots such as Mall Road, Lakkar Bazaar, and Lower Bazaar. Additionally, the Old Bus Stand is also within walking distance. Overall, a great value-for-money stay. 🙂

All hostels in Shimla

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.

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. 🏨🌟
