Good for a night while you get to know the city
It's an average hostel. Little space in the dorms, average cleaning (better than an Indian one I must say). Well located. Enough for a night while you get to know the city.

빠하르간지의 저렴하고 청결한 숙소, 메트로역과 가까움
빠하르간지 거리의 호스텔 중 가장 저렴하지만 청결한 곳이 아닐까 싶다. 하루 동안에도 몇번이고 깨끗하게 청소해주는 셀림(Salim) 덕에 자칫 지저분해질 수 있는 공용공간이 깔끔하게 유지될 수 있었던 것 같다.

スタッフ○サービス✖︎
予約をしていたのに、夜遅くのチェックインになった際にベットは一杯だからと言われた。その対応として、同じオーナーのホテルを案内されるがそこもいっぱいで結局この宿でいとこが宿泊してたからという理由でベットを空けてもらった。

信頼できるホステル
ニューデリー駅からまっすぐ歩いて10分ほどの位置にあるため、アクセスが非常によい。 また、ベッドは非常に清潔だし、バスルーム等も及第点レベルの清潔さ。 なにより、スタッフが非常にフレンドリーで優しいので、滞在していてストレスを感じることはない。
