We stayed at this hostel in Shillong and honestly had an amazing time. Josh, who manages the place, took care of everything for us — from planning our itinerary to making sure we were comfortable throughout the stay. The vibe was great, we met some really good people, and the whole experience felt effortless and fun. We’re definitely going to miss this place, and we’re already looking forward to visiting again. Easily one of the best hostels we’ve stayed at.

My favorite place to stay in Shillong! Comfy beds, super clean, and Ali, the host is so kind and helpful. Good location, with an easy walk to Malki point or take Rapido to Police Bazaar. Ali helped me arrange a ride to Cherrapunjee which was so beautiful and worth it. Thank you for everything and I will definitely be back!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

The property is premium and has every facility needed. I celebrated Diwali over here with a couple of friends I made in this hostel. I had some great conversations and memories. When you’re a female solo traveller the quality of stay you choose really matters. I was the only female in this mixed dorm of 6 and I’ve never felt safer!!
