The Hosteller Bam Jaipur, Hawa Mahal

Good value for money. The rooms are really spacious, they are a lot of common areas to chill. Everything works with the site so you don’t need to have a key of the room (it’s electronic).

You can’t control the AC. To turn it on or off, you must call someone of the staff (but they come fast and you can call them online, anytime, it’s just a bit annoying when in the middle of the night your too cold). The pool is not really outside, so depending on the hour, there may be almost no sun in it.

We were blown away by how good this hostel was. Felt more like a high end hotel to us! Bottled water on tap (literally), amazing pool at the top, huge room with everything we needed, attentive and helpful staff, very clean and new all round.

Nothing :) no complaints whatsoever (apart from the address being hard to find..but maybe that was our fault).

Liked the vibe and interior work.

the smell ourside the building gate and the parking, due to the dumping space located in front of the facade.

Clean spacious room with a nice bathroom and hot water. Water refills available.

Unfortunately I don’t recommend this hostel unless you have an Indian credit/debit card. The systems just doesn’t work for foreigner cards. The cafe only has online orders and payments and it doesn’t accept foreign cards or Google pay if the listed card is foreign. We were unable to have breakfast or any food at the hostel. Also Hosteller are not linked with the Booking.com payment system but they insist on payment before arrival. They send a link. The linked platform charges a fee for using it and the exchange rate they use is so bad. This increased the cost significantly compared what was actually listed on Booking.com. The hostel’s online systems (glu) also generally do not function well. We used glu to ask for a replenishment of amenities in the room. None arrived. The next day we asked staff to at least send us some teabags. They said they would but still, none arrived. So four night stay, no replacement of amenities. The hostel is nice but the basics are not in place. I wouldn’t stay at a Hosteller again due to these problems.
