“This New Delhi budget option provides basic accommodation near the metro, suited for short stays and those prioritizing location and cost. However, be aware that the atmosphere is quiet, and some past guests have reported inconsistencies in service and room quality. If you seek a lively social vibe, similar hostels may be a better fit.”
