The property is well located, 5 minutes walk from the Ridge.
There is a lift available at the property
Facilities are all good. The staff is helpful
It is situated on a steep slope, this is common in Simla

Nothing much
No gaming zone and no music system. Very conjusted droom rooms and the very incorporating staff members. Smoking was allowed but drinking wasn’t. There was no gaming zone and even outsider dog was sitting on the sofa that was very unhygienic.

We had opted for a private room, it was a spacious room with a great view of the mountains. The staff was prompt in getting things resolved. Any requests have to be made on their web app. The vibe was nice. We started our day early, so we had to get a coffee outside, but there was a Barista closeby. Location was all right, things were accessible.
1. I would recommend not booking via Booking.com. When you "reserve" the place as offered by Booking.com, you will get hounded by emails to make the payment otherwise your reservation is not confirmed. They have a rule which states that 100% payment needs to be made before the stay. In this case, the whole feature of reserving, becomes a waste. I had initially made a booking which needed to be changed, but since I had already paid for it, it was unclear on how I could go about it. I had to reach out to the customer support 3 times to get clarity. Also there is no customer support number, there is only a centralised WhatsApp chat available. So incase you are stuck somewhere and need to reach the hostel reception, there is no option.
2. While the location mentions that its quite a bit of walk, please note - do not follow the short route that Google Maps shows, walk all the way towards Christ Church and follow that route. Although there is a parking space outside the hostel and cars can reach there, even the locals find it difficult to find the place. While leaving the taxi I had hired, found it really difficult to get to the place. Please note that once you do make it, there are two flight of stairs to reach the reception. For the price I paid for the private room, I think there were better options in the same price range.
3. It's not the hostel's issue, but we were two girls and there were a bunch of boys in the room next to ours. Throughout the night they were going in and out yelling and talking loudly to the point where I had to request the reception person to look into it. There is no way for the property to enforce the "no alcohol" rule in the private rooms. The other guests clearly had no regard for the silent hours of the hostel.

5.0
The hostel is not far from Mall Road and all the popular places in Shimla, which makes it really convenient (although climbing up to the hostel from the bus stop can be the bigger task, but it's all worth it).
The hosts are really kind and helpful, especially Richard and Subhojit. They go above and beyond to do the needful and sort things out. So thankful!
The rooms are spacious and always clean. Additionally, there are fun games to play in the common room, which enhance the whole experience.

It was a pleasant experience altogether at this
hostel. I was surprised to see the level of hygiene
and cleanliness in the hostel and their
washrooms. Richard at the front desk was
spectacular in hospitality and won our hearts.
Highly recommended.

The manager and staff are friendly and supportive, prompt to attending to our requests. Food is good. Location is very comfortably placed wrt city centre, mall road and other attractions.
The food is overpriced. The location is attained after a tough climb. Heaters are necessary during cold weather and it is better to have at least a pillar heater in every room.

La vue et le monsieur à l’accueil l’après-midi
Tout le reste :
- On n’a pas pu payer par booking, ils veulent un pre paiement
- Le personnel (hors mis le monsieur de l’accueil, Richard je crois) est vraiment à la ramasse
- Pas de chauffage dans les chambres, il faut payer un supplément de 400 roupies soit disant indiqué sur leur site. Quand on paye 27€ une chambre on peut espérer un chauffage sachant qu’il faisait -2 dehors (et dans la chambre!). Nous étions congelés ! Après avoir insisté ils ont finalement accepté de nous en apporter un.
- Le petit déjeuner n’est servi qu’à partir de 8h30, il était inclus mais devant partir à 8h30, nous n’avons eu droit qu’à un chai et deux morceaux de pain de mie.
Bref, on ne recommande pas du tout. A ce prix c’est du vol !

An excellent location, close to Mall Road, with great views. The bed was also very spacious and comfortable, and the room large. Hot water supply was good too.
The room, which we (very stupidly) paid around £100 per night for, was described as "Superior Double Room" (room 102, if anyone is interested), was shabby, defaced and not very clean (especially the bed sheets and spare blanket). Anything but superior! Also - despite all rooms being described as Non-Smoking (and that being prohibited, according to the hostel's own rules poster) - it reeked of smoke (possibly from the included ash tray). The cleaner gave it a spray of air freshener, which helped, and we were offered an alternative for our second night (we did not take this up, as I was confident the others would be much better, and by which time the smoke aroma has abated, or maybe we'd gotten used to it!). The manager was not especially helpful through all of this. The hostel has few of the facilities you would expect from one (e.g. communal kitchen) and the breakfast (served on a cold veranda by rather haphazard staff) was average at very best (an omelette/parantha with small cup of tea/coffee). The booking system was also odd - both payment not being accepted via booking.com, and the confused online checking in system (which was aborted). The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable, but I could not recommend this place, and especially at the price we paid.
