Solo Monkey Hostel Bir - formerly Social Monkey Hostel

I like the property stalf and there food

I had such a lovely stay here. Bharat and Chandana are genuinely the sweetest hosts and they make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. And the food! Bharat cooks absolutely delicious food — honestly, some of the best homemade food I’ve had while travelling. What I loved most was how homely the whole place felt. It didn’t feel like just another hostel, it felt like a little home away from home. Definitely one of those places you leave with good memories and hope to come back to someday.

Everything. The staff, hygiene, location everything was just what we wanted.

Proper location is ok, not in main area. If you have a scooty/bike, it will do. Room and view is 9. 5/10 (since cupboard is small one) Plenty of parking.

Practically no service, so if you want to enjoy food, it’s easier to go outside. Not really a place to rely on for meals, the kitchen is barely functional, with a menu limited to bread omelette or poha, and most of the time it’s off. They don’t have any dedicated cook, which seems to be the reason. At times, even the staff won’t be available. Overall, the service, even compared to the likes of Zostel or other hostels, is very sub-average, as they hardly seem to have any staff. When we visited, some volunteers were managing things. So anything related to service would be off. On top of that, there’s a weird policy of not allowing food in rooms, you have to eat in common areas, which isn’t great if you’re sick.
